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 second breaking change window begins 2024-04-29 09:00 UTC and ends 2024-05-01 22:00 UTC.
Instead of adding Make build rules and a feature flag for each new Git minor version release, simply define two versions and alternate between them. This ensures we always have a newer and an older version.
