GitLab.com is moving to 14.0 with a few breaking changes

GitLab 14.0, the major release for 2021, introduces various new features and planned deprecations aimed at enhancing workflows, performance, and scalability. Scheduled to officially launch on June 22, the release affects both GitLab.com and self-managed users, with significant changes including the removal of deprecated GraphQL fields, a shift in the default Git branch name to "main," and updates to the GitLab Runner and OAuth flows. Several legacy features such as GitLab Managed Apps, the Web Application Firewall (WAF), and the Clair container scanning engine are being phased out, replaced by more efficient alternatives like Trivy for container scanning. Additionally, enhancements to CI/CD templates, including Auto DevOps, Terraform integrations, and SAST variables, aim to improve user experience and maintainability. The release also brings changes to API configurations to streamline processes and uphold performance standards, prompting users to review and update their existing setups to align with the new version's requirements.
