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 first breaking change window begins 2024-04-22 09:00UTC and ends 2024-04-24 22:00UTC.

Daiki Ueno requested to merge tmp-libopts-check into master Jan 04, 2019

This is a continuation of the discussion in: !808 (comment 124782407)

In libopts there are two places where library versions are checked: at source code level and binary level.

These are basically the same condition, but we can't do much about the latter (e.g., copying a linked binary to older distributions).
