17.0.0

You should migrate to the new runner registration workflow before upgrading to GitLab 17.0.

The legacy workflow that uses registration tokens is now disabled by default in GitLab 17.0 and will be removed in GitLab 18.0. If registration tokens are still being used, upgrading to GitLab 17.0 will cause runner registration to fail.

The binaries for PostgreSQL 13 have been removed.
Prior to upgrading, you must ensure your installation is using PostgreSQL 14.
