GitLab upcoming releases

2. GitLab upcoming releases

GitLab releases a new version every single month on the 22nd.

The list is an outline of tentpole features – the most important features of upcoming releases – and doesn't include most contributions from volunteers outside the company. This is not an authoritative list of upcoming releases - it only reflects current milestones.

Note that we often move things around, do things that are not listed, and cancel things that are listed. Some of the things listed here might not ever be in GitLab. New Starter, Premium, and Ultimate features are indicated with labels. This is our best estimate of where new features will land, but is in no way definitive. You can also view upcoming features by product tier.

Past releases can be found on our releases page.
