Details

From the project README

glab whatsnew

View GitLab CLI release notes from the terminal.

Quick start

# Show release notes since the last viewed/post-upgrade baseline, capped at 10 releases
glab whatsnew

# Show notes for the latest published release
glab whatsnew --latest

# Show notes for a specific release
glab whatsnew v1.102.0

# Show notes for every release after a baseline
glab whatsnew --since v1.100.0

When to use

Use glab whatsnew after upgrading glab or before updating automation that depends on command behavior. It is the quickest CLI-native path for inspecting upstream release notes without opening a browser.

Behavior notes

  • With no arguments, glab whatsnew shows releases published since the last time you ran whatsnew or saw the post-upgrade banner.
  • The implicit history is capped at the most recent 10 releases.
  • Use --since <version> for deterministic automation or review work where you need an explicit baseline.
  • Use --latest when you only care about the latest published release.

Agent workflow

# Review all releases newer than the skill repo's last processed glab baseline
glab whatsnew --since v1.100.0

# Then inspect command help for any relevant new/changed command surfaces
glab repo prune --help
glab mr note create --help
glab stack sync --help

Do not treat release-note prose alone as a contract. For skill updates, verify changed command surfaces with glab <command> --help or upstream docs/source before editing guidance.
