New features are regularly released to GitLab SaaS (GitLab.com), with a packaged release available for GitLab Self-Managed every month. Read on to learn more about the new features available on GitLab.com. Note that it may take a few days for a feature to become fully available on GitLab.com, due to deployment schedule and potential feature flags.

Additional information on past releases is available; be sure to check out the release for other features we've launched recently. We also have information about what's new if you're interested in seeing what we are doing next.

Previously, pipeline inputs could only be defined directly within a pipeline’s spec section. This limitation made it challenging to reuse input configuration across multiple projects.

In this release you can now include input definitions from external files using the familiar include keyword. Being able to maintain a list of inputs in a separate place helps you have a manageable solution across many projects or pipelines. You can maintain centralized input configurations and even dynamically manage input values from external sources.

Reviewing commits with many changed files or substantial modifications can be slow. Rapid Diffs technology now powers the commits page (/-/commits/<SHA>), delivering faster loading times, smoother scrolling, and more responsive interactions.

With Rapid Diffs, you’ll notice:

  • A pagination-free experience.
  • Faster initial load, so you can start working with code sooner.
  • A refreshed interface with a new file browser for quicker navigation between files.
  • Responsive interactions, even with large numbers of changed files.

All existing functionality is preserved. As Rapid Diffs expands to other areas of GitLab, the same performance benefits will follow.

You can now troubleshoot and verify data integrity directly from the primary site, thanks to the new data management view that brings detailed verification status information to the primary Geo site. This enhancement eliminates the need to access secondary sites for basic verification and troubleshooting tasks.

Previously, this verification status was only accessible through the secondary site UI. Now, with the data management view on the primary site, you can:

  • View detailed verification status for all replicable data types on the primary site
  • Perform data sanitization and troubleshooting tasks directly from the primary UI
  • Set up and verify your Geo configuration on the primary site before adding secondary sites

This enhancement is the first step toward comprehensive self-serve troubleshooting via the UI, reducing the need to access multiple sites for routine maintenance and issue resolution.

The GitLab import API now supports Bitbucket Cloud API tokens, providing a more secure way to import repositories from Bitbucket Cloud.

Atlassian has deprecated app passwords in favor of API tokens, and we’re planning to remove support for app passwords in 19.0.

Importing from Bitbucket Cloud through the GitLab UI is not affected by this change.
