The 17.0 major release is coming on May 16, 2024! This version brings many exciting improvements to GitLab, but also removes some deprecated features. We are introducing three breaking change windows during which we expect breaking changes to be deployed to GitLab.com. You can read more about it on our blogpost. The third breaking change window begins 2024-05-06 09:00 UTC and ends 2024-05-08 22:00 UTC.
Adding a note about restoring to the same version that the backup was taken from. We have a note in the Omnibus restore docs, but no mention of it here.
