GitLab 18.7.1 Patch Release Highlights Critical Fixes

GitLab 18.7.1 Patch Release Now Available

The GitLab team has released version 18.7.1, a vital patch update for both GitLab Self-Managed installations and GitLab.com. This release provides urgent fixes that address functionality and stability concerns discovered after the 18.7 release, ensuring smoother operation across projects and pipelines.

Key Fixes in 18.7.1:

• Resolved an issue where job ‘needs’ dependencies containing bridge jobs with rules did not function correctly.
• Corrected a problem where expired Prometheus metrics cache caused display errors in the metrics dashboard.
• Fixed a specific OpenAPI schema issue related to project access token API response when LDAP is enabled.
• Eliminated a regression that affected runners having Windows cache paths with too long file names.

This patch does not introduce new database migrations or feature changes, making it a safe and necessary upgrade for those running GitLab 18.7.0. Organisations that prioritise performance, uptime, and security should apply this patch as soon as possible.
