v0.7.0

Notable features#

Podman support — glci now runs pipelines on Podman as well as Docker, with an engine setting globally and per named runner, engine-aware doctor checks, and automatic fallback when Docker is unavailable (docs)
Instance-level CI/CD variables and variable expansion in include: — instance variables are fetched from the GitLab API, and user CI/CD variables are expanded inside include: entries in the CLI and the daemon (docs)
Artifact-sourced child pipeline includes — trigger jobs can include a child pipeline config produced as an artifact by an earlier job, in both real runs and simulate mode (docs)
--on-change-mode for watch — control what happens when files change while a pipeline is already running (docs)
Glob and brace patterns in job-definition overrides — config-file job overrides can target many jobs at once, and stage/needs/parallel overrides now apply before planning (docs)
