# Deprecated GitLab CI/CD variables
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
Read through this document to learn what predefined variables
were deprecated and their new references.
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
## GitLab 9.0 renamed variables
To follow conventions of naming across GitLab, and to further move away from the
`build` term and toward `job` , some [CI/CD environment variables ](README.md#predefined-environment-variables ) were renamed for GitLab 9.0
release.
Starting with GitLab 9.0, we have deprecated the `$CI_BUILD_*` variables. **You are
strongly advised to use the new variables as we will remove the old ones in
future GitLab releases.**
