Release Notes

A Forgejo release is published shortly after a Gitea release is published and they have matching release numbers. Additional Forgejo releases may be published to address urgent security issues or bug fixes. Forgejo release notes include all Gitea release notes.

The Forgejo admin should carefully read the required manual actions before upgrading. A point release (e.g. v1.18.1 or v1.18.2) does not require manual actions but others might (e.g. v1.18.0, v1.19.0).

1.18.0-1

This is the first Forgejo release.

Forgejo improvements

Woodpecker CI

A new CI configuration based on Woodpecker CI was created. It is used to:

• run tests on every Forgejo pull request (compliance, unit tests and integration tests)
• publish the Forgejo v1.18.0-1 release, as binary packages for amd64, arm64 and armv6 and container images for amd64 and arm64, root and rootless

Look and feel

The default themes were replaced by Forgejo themes and the landing page was modified to display the Forgejo logo and names but the look and feel remains otherwise identical to Gitea.

Privacy

Gitea instances fetch https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/version.json weekly by default, which raises privacy concerns. In Forgejo this feature needs to be explicitly activated at installation time or by modifying the configuration file. Forgejo also provides an alternative RSS feed to be informed when a new release is published.
