## 14.4
### Downgrading Grafana from 8.1 to 7.5
In GitLab 14.4 the provided Grafana version is 7.5, this is a downgrade from
the Grafana 8.1 version introduced in GitLab 14.3. This was reverted to an
Apache-licensed Grafana release to allow time to consider the implications of
the newer AGPL-licensed releases.
## 14.0
### Removing support for running Sidekiq directly instead of `sidekiq-cluster`
