GitLab 18.7.1 Patch Release Now Available

GitLab has announced the immediate availability of version 18.7.1, a patch release addressing two critical regressions introduced in version 18.7.0. These updates ensure improved stability and performance for self-managed GitLab instances. Organisations are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this latest version at their earliest convenience.

Resolved Regressions: GitLab 18.7.1 addresses the following:

  • CI/CD Variable Handling: Resolved an issue where CI/CD variables could unexpectedly be cleared when performing certain group or project operations. This fix prevents potential configuration loss and ensures your build workflows remain intact. [GitLab issue #444212]
  • Geo Replication Failures: Fixed inconsistencies introduced in GitLab Geo that caused replication errors in secondary nodes. With 18.7.1, replication stability is restored. [GitLab issue #445143]
