GitHub Enterprise - The best way to build and ship software

The 2.7 series release notes contain important changes in this release series.

Security Fixes

Packages have been updated to their latest security versions.
LOW: Tokens were contained in support bundles when they were used in GET requests as a URL parameter.

On a 404 page with an appliance configured to use public mode and SAML, the "Sign in" button was illegible.
contributions_backfill background jobs were enqueued on every additional push to a repository, even if it contained no commits from users of the appliance.

We incorrectly redirect to the dashboard if you accessed GitHub Enterprise using an alias while in private mode. This might happen if you set a fully qualified domain name but the subdomain resolves correctly.
Images uploaded to issues save with an absolute URL, so they can be broken if the hostname changes.
On a freshly set up GitHub Enterprise without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user.
Custom firewall rules aren't maintained during an upgrade.
Enqueued background jobs are sometimes not purged when a repository is deleted.
svn checkout may timeout while the repository data cache is being built. In most cases, subsequent svn checkout attempts will succeed.
Git LFS tracked files uploaded through the web interface are incorrectly added directly to the repository.
GitHub Enterprise clustering can not be configured without https.
Additional white spacing can sometimes be seen above the Admin center header.
Deleting a search index doesn't delete all associated metadata, which are then incorrectly reused if a new search index is created. This causes search index repair jobs to be reported as finished in the site admin when they were not.
collectd metric paths can be truncated, which causes multiple write attempts to the same file for different metrics. (updated 2017-07-10)
