+
+#### New configuration options for `gitlab.yml`
+
+There are new configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`](config/gitlab.yml.example). View them with the command below and apply them to your current `gitlab.yml`.
+
+```
+git diff origin/7-6-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/7-8-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example

+
+#### Setup time zone (optional)
+
+Consider setting the time zone in `gitlab.yml` otherwise GitLab will default to UTC. If you set a time zone previously in [`application.rb`](config/application.rb) (unlikely), unset it.
+
+### 6. Start application
+
+    sudo service gitlab start
+    sudo service nginx restart
+
+### 7. Check application status
+
+Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
+
+    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
+
+To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
+
+    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
+
+If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade is complete!
+
+### 8. GitHub settings (if applicable)
+
+If you are using GitHub as an OAuth provider for authentication, you should change the callback URL so that it 
+only contains a root URL (ex. `https://gitlab.example.com/`)
+
+## Things went south? Revert to previous version (7.6)

+
+### 2. Restore from the backup:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+If you have more than one backup *.tar file(s) please add `BACKUP=timestamp_of_backup` to the command above.
