Based on the GitLab Maintenance Policy, patch releases include bug fixes for the current stable released version of GitLab and security fixes for the two previous monthly releases in addition to the current stable release.
The cadence of patch releases is twice a month on the Wednesdays before and after the monthly release week. These are best-effort dates and they might be subject to change.
GitLab Maintenance Policy maintains the current stable release and the previous two monthly releases:
| Version | Fix Policy |
|---|---|
| 18.0 | Includes bug and security fixes |
| 17.11 | Includes security fixes |
| 17.10 | Includes security fixes |
