GitLab now enforces expiry dates on tokens that originally had no set expiration date. Those tokens were given an expiration date of one year later. Please review your personal access tokens, project access tokens and group access tokens to ensure you are aware of upcoming expirations. Administrators of GitLab can find more information on how to identify and mitigate interruption, please take a look at our documentation.
This MR is preparing for the migration to reentrant algorithms for gFEX. Methods are made const (the easy ones). More work will be needed.
Also, some variables are now passed by const ref instead of by value.
