What's new in GitLab 17.10

Mar 20, 2025
Past release

AI-powered code reviews launch in beta, while GLQL Views and DORA metrics expand analytics capabilities for development teams.

Code review automation and analytics innovation

GitLab 17.10 introduces Duo Code Review in beta to provide immediate AI-powered feedback on merge requests. GLQL Views beta, project-level DORA metrics visualization, and the “new issue” design reaching general availability demonstrate GitLab's continued investment in analytics sophistication and modern user experience.

Duo Code Review (Beta)

AI

Code

Secure

Get immediate AI-powered feedback on merge requests by adding @GitLabDuo as a reviewer or mentioning @GitLabDuo in comments. This beta feature enables teams to:

  • Catch issues earlier without waiting for human reviewers.

  • Get AI feedback on merge requests, reducing bottlenecks for authors and reviewers.

  • Maintain consistent review standards across all contributions.

  • Free up human reviewers to focus on architecture and mentorship.

GitLab Query Language (GLQL) Views (Beta)

Manage

Plan

Create dynamic, real-time work tracking directly in existing workflows by embedding live data queries in Markdown code blocks. Teams can:

  • Embed GLQL views throughout Wiki pages, epic descriptions, issue comments, and merge requests.

  • Filter using logical expressions and operators across assignee, author, label, and milestone fields.

  • Customize presentations as tables or lists with controlled field visibility and result limits.

  • Access information without leaving their current workflow.

Projects by DORA metric panel

Analyze

View all projects in your top-level group with breakdown into the four DORA metrics in the Value Streams Dashboard. This panel helps leaders:

  • Identify high, medium, and low-performing projects across your organization.

  • Make data-driven decisions to allocate resources effectively.

  • Focus initiatives on enhancing software delivery speed, stability, and reliability.

“New issue” design update (now GA)

Plan

Issues now share a common framework with epics and tasks, featuring real-time updates and workflow improvements. Key improvements include:

  • Drawer view to open items from lists or boards for quick viewing without the usual context switching.

  • The "Change type" action to convert types between epics, issues, and tasks

  • Consolidated development items (merge requests, branches, feature flags) in a single list.

  • Improved linking options with drag-and-drop to change link types.
