-## 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 might remove the old ones in
-future GitLab releases.**
