- 📦GLab — Client for GitLab updated to version 1.3.4GLab 1.3.4 — support right in the app, edit files and commit straight to the branch, and a working Renovate dashboard.
NEW
• Support right in the app: confirm your email with a code, write to us with photos — location and camera data are stripped — read replies and get notified when we answer
• A new Account screen: tap your avatar to switch accounts, manage GLab Pro and change settings in one place
• Edit files and commit straight to the current branch, with no feature branch, when GitLab lets you push to it. If it doesn't, GLab explains why up front: a protected branch, a missing role or an archived project
• Send several edited, new and deleted files in a single commit
• If the file changed on the branch in the meantime, GLab won't overwrite that change, and your text stays put
• Tick checkboxes in issue and merge request descriptions — for example, to approve updates in Renovate's Dependency Dashboard
• See the full file path in merge request and commit diffs: long paths wrap instead of being cut off, and renamed files show both the old and new name
• Open file from a diff — the whole file at the right revision, or straight at a line from its menu
• Mark a merge request as draft or ready right from the app
FIXED
• When your token can't write, GLab explains why and offers a fix instead of showing "403 Forbidden"
• Search finds projects by group and path (group/project), not just by name, and Retry works again
• File blame opens without an error and stays fast, even on large files
• Notification settings take effect right away, without restarting the app
• Descriptions with checkboxes, collapsible sections and HTML render correctly
Pro: edit files, approve, merge, retry jobs, move board cards. Free is read-only.… more - ✏️GLab — Client for GitLab: description updated· DE

• Projects and Groups: the switcher works both ways again, plus filters (All, Starred, Recent, Archived), sorting, swipe actions and full group pages.

NEW
• One-tap sign-in to GitLab.com. Connecting your own GitLab server or signing in with a token is now a step-by-step guide, right on your iPhone
• Needs attention: merge requests, failed pipelines and todos waiting on you, in one place on Home. Snooze what can wait
• Merge readiness: each merge request shows whether it can be merged or what blocks it — draft, conflicts, pipeline, open discussions, approvals
• All pipelines in one list, filtered by needs attention, running, failed or recent
• Issue boards with drag and drop; related work and blockers inside an issue
• Groups in Projects, and a searchable tools hub for each project
• Change your instance URL without signing in again

• No more request storms after an error — lists pause and retry calmly

- 📦GLab — Client for GitLab version 1.2.1GLab 1.2.1 — sign-in on iOS 18 is fixed.
FIXED
• Sign-in and list loading on iOS 18: the app failed to parse the dates GitLab sends, so merge requests, issues and pipelines would not open. Sorry for the broken 1.2.0 — this release fixes it
• Viewing repository files whose path contains subdirectories
• Background list refresh stability
IMPROVED
• Clearer network errors: the app is more specific about what is unavailable and what to do next
• You can now rate GLab straight from Settings
