Releases

Library to interact with GitLab releases and versions. The information is fetched from two sources:

1. versions.gitlab.com
2. releases.yml

Installation

Usage

There are different methods available:

• upcoming_releases - Returns the GitLab release date and the associated version for the next 12 months.
• active_version - Returns the active GitLab version.
• current_version - Returns the current GitLab version.
• next_versions - Returns the next GitLab patch versions (for patch and security releases).
