In December, gitlab will be upgraded to version 17.7. As part of this upgrade, gitlab's internal https library will introduce protocol requirements of TLS v1.2 or higher. If your projects make use of external integrations or webhooks, you will need to ensure that those external endpoints support at least TLS v1.2 or gitlab will not be able to communicate with them after the upgrade.
