GitLab 18.3.1 Patch Brings Critical Fixes for Improved Platform Stability

GitLab 18.3.1 Patch Release Now Available

GitLab has just released the 18.3.1 patch, designed to resolve several edge-case issues affecting performance and reliability. This release is part of GitLab’s commitment to delivering a secure, stable, and dependable DevSecOps platform you can trust for mission-critical development operations.

This update addresses bugs impacting specific self-managed and SaaS environments, such as migration errors in bulk_import_exports and a problem with users being removed from groups via SAML sync—both of which are now fixed. A validation issue that occurred when created_at was passed as a string has also been resolved.

Users running versions 18.3.0 or earlier are strongly advised to upgrade as soon as possible to benefit from these fixes and minimise potential disruptions. In addition to the stability improvements, this patch enhances consistency across deployments and ensures smooth operation of your CI/CD workflows.
