Also includes Mattermost in this release. Sweet!

Any place i can eyeball this upgrade script first?

Incidentally, Im curious to know (to try and learn) how do you guys test this kind of stuff? do you have lots of different databases saved over that you try this kind of a major db upgrade on?

It looks like [0] & [1] are the relevant DB migration scripts. GitLab.com is used to test new release candidate versions in a production environment before it is shipped. I'm guessing the 10-15 minute number came from how long it took them to run it on their systems. They do have staging environments where they run migrations (and test new code) on stale prod data as well.
