A guide to the high-impact breaking changes in GitLab 17.0
Blog post from GitLab
GitLab 17.0 is set to release on May 16, bringing significant updates and removing certain deprecated features. This major release introduces three designated windows in 2024 for implementing breaking changes on GitLab.com, with detailed information available in a public issue. High-impact removals, defined as those potentially disrupting critical workflows like CI/CD, compliance, or instance availability, include the deprecation of Postgres 13, changes in Sidekiq concurrency options, and modifications to CI variables affecting pipelines and integrations. Other notable deprecations involve the GitLab agent for Kubernetes, npm package uploads, and Maven repository permissions, alongside updates for GitLab.com runners and deprecations for Windows Server 2019. Users are advised to prioritize these changes to prepare effectively for the transition and mitigate disruptions.
