What should users do?
-
Familiarize yourself with GitLab 17 Key Improvements and Breaking Changes
- Prepare to update any GitLab runners you manage to major version 17. Keeping your runners in the same major version as the GitLab instance avoids potential problems.
- Refer to the outage notification for any updates during scheduled maintenance

Contact the Shared Tools team with any questions by emailing help@doit.wisc.edu
Highlighted Changes
- GitLab Runners will now be registered via a new type of authentication token, rather than by the registration tokens that have been used in the past. This change has no impact on existing runners. Most users will simply notice that the GitLab UI is slightly different when you set up a new runner. But this change could disrupt any process that programmatically creates new GitLab runners.
- The after_script keyword in GitLabCI now runs after canceled jobs.
