GitLab 13.12 released with On-Demand DAST, Deployment Frequency Chart, Visualization of Pipeline Job Dependencies and much more!

This month, we are excited to introduce usability and pipeline management improvements that strive to make your teams more productive, updates to make your deployments more secure, and insights to make your DevOps adoption more mature. These are just a few highlights from the 44 improvements in this release.

To ensure your production environment is always secure, On-demand DAST scanning is now generally available for all GitLab Ultimate customers. These on-demand scans will allow you to scan an already deployed application or API in any of your configured environments outside of a CI/CD pipeline i.e., without requiring any code changes or merge requests to start a scan.

The Semgrep SAST analyzer for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python is also generally available. Semgrep's flexible rule syntax is ideal for streamlining the GitLab Custom Rulesets feature for extending and modifying detection rules, a popular request from GitLab SAST customers. It also allows GitLab customers access to Semgrep's community rules. Thanks to the community contribution from @proletarius101, we are also extending the Mobile Application Security Testing to support .ipa (iOS) and .apk (Android) binary files, in addition to Xcode projects and Android manifest files that are already supported.
