In previous versions of GitLab, emoji support was limited to an older Unicode standard, which meant some newer emojis were unavailable.

GitLab 17.7 introduces support for Unicode 15.1, bringing the latest emoji additions. This includes exciting new options like the t-rex 🦖, lime 🍋‍🟩, and phoenix 🐦‍🔥, allowing you to express yourself with the most up-to-date symbols. Additionally, this update enhances emoji diversity, ensuring greater representation across cultures, languages, and identities, helping everyone feel included when communicating on the platform.

Previously, token expiration email notifications were only sent seven days before expiry. Now, these notifications are also sent 30 and 60 days before expiry. The increased frequency and date range of notifications makes users more aware of tokens that may be expiring soon.

We continue to make iterative and important improvements to the compliance center’s user experience for both groups and projects.

With GitLab 17.7, we shipped two key improvements:

  • Users can now filter by groups in the Projects tab of the compliance center, which gives another option to users to apply, filter, and search for the appropriate project, and the compliance framework attached to that project.
  • A project’s compliance center now has a Frameworks tab, which allows users to search for compliance frameworks attached to that particular project.

Please note that adding or editing frameworks is still done on groups, not projects.

Navigation and usability improvements for the compliance center
