The complete list of commits included in the Forgejo v1.21.1-0 release can be reviewed from the command line with:

$ git clone https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/
$ git -C forgejo log --oneline --no-merges origin/v1.20/forgejo..origin/v1.21/forgejo

• Forgejo Semantic Version: The semantic version was updated to 6.0.0+0-gitea-1.21.0 because it contains breaking changes.

• Breaking: Note that the modifications related to CSS, templates or assets (images, fonts, etc.) are not documented here. Although they can be extracted and modified, Forgejo does not provide any guarantee that such changes will be portable from one version to another (even a patch version). A Q&A discussion is available to share tips and tricks. A new section was also added to the developer documentation about interface customization.

  • If you have custom asset files, e.g. custom themes, inside custom/public/* (css included), you need to transfer these files to custom/public/assets/* for them to be detected. Read more in the documentation and the Q&A discussion dedicated to interface customization.
  • Git branches are stored in the databases to reduce the calls to a git process and improve performances. After upgrading, login as an admin, go to the /admin page and click run Sync missed branches from git data to databases. If this is not done there will be messages such as LoadBranches: branch does not exist in the logs.
  • Some Forgejo CLI options have changed and scripts may need to be updated. For instance --verbose is no longer a global option and is implemented on a per sub-command basis. Check forgejo --help or forgejo docs for more information.
  • Remove "CHARSET" config option for MySQL and always use "utf8mb4". It has been a requirement for years and specifying anything else is likely to cause issues. Existing MySQL databases still using utf8 can be converted using the CLI: forgejo doctor convert.
  • Restrict certificate type for builtin SSH server. This is a breaking change for setups where the builtin SSH server is being used and for some reason host certificates were being used for authentication.
  • Set SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEYS_BACKUP to false by default. There is no automatic cleanup of these backups and can end up using a significant amount of disk space over time.
  • The minimum RSA keylength is now 3072 instead of 2048.
  • Prior to this release, a token scoped to read or write permissions on issues was allowed to access both issues and pull requests, regardless of the restrictions imposed to the team in which they belong. In a team it is possible to grant finer grained permissions, for instance to allow a user to access issues but not pull requests. These restrictions are now enforced and API calls that previously succeeded on /api/v1/repos/{org}/{repo}/issues or other endpoints common to both issues and pull requests could return 404. Granting the user the necessary permissions in the team in which they belong will allow them to use that endpoint again.

• Forgejo Actions: It is now enabled by default but should still be considered alpha stage and subject to unannounced breaking changes.

  • The API can now be used to manage secrets for users, organizations and repositories.
  • Registration tokens can register multiple runners instead of a single one. Read more about runner registration.
  • Add support for variables in addition to secrets.
  • Add support for recurring actions similar to cron jobs.
  • Add the possibility to disable workflows from the user interface.
  • Add automatic cleanup of artificats.
  • Add automatic cancelation of jobs when pushing new commits to a PR.
  • Add support for uploading multiple artificats.
  • Add support for the pull_request_target event which has access to secrets because it runs using the workflows from the base branch instead of the pull request.
  • Add support for reading labels from the runner instead of specifying them during registration.

• Features:

  • With the Chroma upgrade from 2.7.0 to 2.10.0 syntax highlighting is now available for Smali, DHCP, WebGPU Shading Language, AutoHotkey, AutoIt, tal (uxntal), ArangoDB Query Language (AQL), BIND DNS Zone, Odin, Sourcepawn, CPP, C.

$ git clone https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/
$ git -C forgejo log --oneline --no-merges origin/v1.19/forgejo..origin/v1.20/forgejo

• Forgejo Semantic Version: The semantic version was updated to 5.0.0+0-gitea-1.20.1 because it contains breaking changes.
• Breaking:
  • Scoped access tokens or (Personal Access Tokens), were refactored and although existing tokens are still valid, they may have a different scope than before. To ensure that no tokens have a larger scope than expected they must be removed and recreated.
  • If your app.ini has one of the the following [indexer].ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_TYPE, [indexer].ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_BATCH_NUMBER, [indexer]., [indexer].ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_DIR, [indexer].ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_CONN_STR, [indexer].UPDATE_BUFFER_LEN, [mailer].SEND_BUFFER_LEN, [repository].PULL_REQUEST_QUEUE_LENGTH or [repository].MIRROR_QUEUE_LENGTH, Forgejo will abort immediately. Unless you know exactly what you're doing, you must comment them out so the default values are used.
  • The -p option of environment-to-ini is no longer supported
  • The ".png" suffix for user and organizations is now reserved
  • The section [git.reflog] is now obsolete and its keys have been moved to the following replacements:
    • [git.reflog].ENABLED → [git.config].core.logAllRefUpdates
    • [git.reflog].EXPIRATION → [git.config].gc.reflogExpire
  • The logger used to display Forgejo's was refactored and has new settings, different from the previous one found at log.<mode>.<logger> in app.ini. Check the documentation and app.example.ini for more information. The SMTP logger was removed.
  • Forgejo will refuse to start if the refactored path & config system does not pass sanity checks (e.g. WORK_PATH must be absolute).
  • Manually set WORK_PATH in app.ini. If the app.ini file is writable by the user under which the Forgejo server runs and WORK_PATH is not set, the server will add it. Otherwise it will log an error starting with Unable to update WORK_PATH. One of the consequences of not setting WORK_PATH in app.ini is that pushing to a repository via ssh is likely to fail as explained in the corresponding bug report. Read the technical details in the commit that implements the WORK_PATH change.
  • The user profile can be customized with a Markdown file. The profile page of a user is rendered using the README.md file of the .profile repository, if it exists. It is a breaking change because it will display the .profile/README.md of a pre-existing repository, private or not.
  • The API endpoint pagination for team members was fixed: it now starts at 1 instead of 0, just like all other paginated API endpoints.
  • The SSH_KEYGEN_PATH variable in app.ini now defaults to using the Go SSH key parsing instead of the ssh-keygen binary. When START_SSH_SERVER is true, the decision to use the Go SSH key parsing or an external binary will now depend on the value of SSH_KEYGEN_PATH instead of always using the Go SSH key parsing.
  • The storage settings were refactored. Read more about storage settings.
  • The [repository.editor] PREVIEWABLE_FILE_MODES setting was removed. This setting served no practical purpose and was not working correctly. Instead a preview tab is always shown in the file editor when supported.
  • In addition to the already deprecated options inside [queue], many options have been dropped as well. Those are WRAP_IF_NECESSARY, MAX_ATTEMPTS, TIMEOUT, WORKERS, BLOCK_TIMEOUT, BOOST_TIMEOUT, BOOST_WORKERS. You can remove them from your app.ini now. Additionally, some default values have changed in this section.
  • The default CSS and templates included in Forgejo were heavily refactored and a large number of variables renamed. These changes are not documented and there is a very high chance that a tempate extracted and modified for a particular Forgejo instance will no longer work as it did. Browsing through the git history of the template in the sources is the best way to figure out how and why it was modified.
• Moderation: Blocking another user is desirable if they are acting maliciously or are spamming your repository. When you block a user, Forgejo does not explicitly notify them, but they may learn through an interaction with you that is blocked. Read more about blocking users.
• Package: New registries are available for SWIFT, debian, RPM, alpine, Go and CRAN.
• Accessibility: numerous improvements for issue comments, the menu on the navbar, scoped labels, checkboxes and dropdowns, RTL rendering support to Markdown, file (re-)views, interactive tooltips, using a button element, repository list and more.
• Time: The display and localization of time was improved for tooltips, milestones, due date and translations that contain dates, commit graphs, runners, webhooks, tests and more. Previously each rendered timestamp would be static, now the real time since an event happend is show. If a comment was added 2 minutes before the page rendered it would show as "2 minutes ago" on the initial render and if another 8 minutes have passed, without a page refresh you'd see "10 minutes ago".

  • Improve the display of the table of content
  • Fixed a bug preventing team users who have wiki write permission from deleting a page
  • Shows the External Link icon and URL in the header to indicate that the user will be sent to an external side to help prevent fishing

  • Forgejo Actions workflows are now available to run tests and publish releases for Forgejo itself.
  • The Woodpecker CI configuration for PR verification and building releases for Forgejo v1.18 and v1.19 is no longer maintained as part of Forgejo itself and was moved to its own repository.
• Templates
  • Configuration for the issue templates. Read more about issue config in the documentation.

  • LDAP filters include both username and email address
  • Allow for PKCE flow without client secret
  • Add the ability to set multiple redirect URIs in the OAuth application UI
• Refactor: Many essential sub-systems were refactored: the queue system that handles background tasks such as checking pull requests, pull mirror, git internal API, routes and web routes, merge & update logic and git command calls, listing commits, cookie, issue stats, renaming users and organizations, app.ini handling, diffFileInfo / DiffTreeStore.... In theory these changes are transparent to the Forgejo user and admin but the risk of subtle regressions is real: do not hesitate to reach out if you suspect anything.

  The semantic version was updated from 4.2.1+0-gitea-1.19.3 to 4.2.2+0-gitea-1.19.4.

• Security fixes

  • An additional verification was implemented to prevent open redirects.

• Bug fixes

  The most prominent ones are described here, others can be found in the list of commits included in the release as described above.

  • Fix an edge case where a user changing their username in their profile page could fail
  • The secrets are only meaningful in the context of Frogejo Actions, do not display them if Forgejo Actions is disabled (patch 1, patch 2)
  • Actions can now be triggered on mirrored repositories (patch 1, patch 2)
  • Return 404 in the API if the requested webhooks were not found instead of 500
  • Ensure topics deleted via the API are also deleted in the repository
  • Tentative fix to suppress the JavaScript error TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '_i18n.textEdited') on safari. It is unclear if that fix is effective because it could not be reproduced, please report if it still happens for you.
  • Respect original content when creating secrets
  • If a mirror failed and left the database in an inconsistent state, make it so the repository page does not fail with an error 500
  • If a user that triggered Actions is deleted, allow for the page listing the tasks it launched to show instead of failing with an error 500
  • Allow the selection of milestones when acting on multiple issues in the issue list page
  • Fix the API error message when trying to create a fork that already exists

  • Allow for closed PRs to be re-opened and synchronize with the latest content of the head branch
  • Fix the close button of projects within an organization. It was a noop and now effectively closes the project

1.19.3-0

The complete list of commits included in the Forgejo v1.19.3-0 release can be reviewed from the command line with:

$ git clone https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/
$ git -C forgejo log --oneline --no-merges v1.19.2-0..v1.19.3-0

This stable release contains security fixes.

• Recommended Action

  We recommend that all Forgejo installations are upgraded to the latest version.

• Forgejo Semantic Version

  The semantic version was updated from 4.2.0+0-gitea-1.19.2 to 4.2.1+0-gitea-1.19.3 because of the rebuild with Go version 1.20.4.

• Security fixes

  • Forgejo was recompiled with Go version v1.20.4 published 2 May 2023. It fixes three vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-29400, CVE-2023-24540, CVE-2023-24539) related to the html/template package. The Forgejo security team analyzed the security fixes it contains and concluded that Forgejo is not affected but recommended a rebuild as a precaution.

• Bug fixes

  The most prominent one is described here, others can be found in the list of commits included in the release as described above.

  • Allow users that are not signed in to browse the tag list. Requiring users to be signed in to view the tag list was a regression introduced in Forgejo v1.19.2-0.

1.19.2-0

The complete list of commits included in the Forgejo v1.19.2-0 release can be reviewed from the command line with:

$ git clone https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/
$ git -C forgejo log --oneline --no-merges v1.19.1-0..v1.19.2-0

This stable release contains important security fixes.

• Recommended Action

  We strongly recommend that all Forgejo installations are upgraded to the latest version as soon as possible.

• Forgejo Semantic Version

  The semantic version was updated from 4.1.0+0-gitea-1.19.1 to 4.2.0+0-gitea-1.19.2 because of the changes introduced in the internal CI.

• Security fixes

  • Token scopes were not enforced in some cases (patch 1 and patch 2). The scoped token were introduced in Forgejo v1.19 allow for the creation of application tokens that only have limited permissions, such as creating packages or accessing repositories. Prior to Forgejo v1.19 tokens could be used to perform any operation the user issuing the token could.
  • Permissions to delete secrets was not enforced. The experimental internal CI relies on secrets managed via the web interface, for instance to communicate credentials to a job. Secrets are only used in the context of the experimental internal CI.

• Bug fixes

  The most prominent ones are described here, others can be found in the list of commits included in the release as described above.

  • Restore public access to some API endpoints. When scoped token introduced in Forgejo v1.19, some API endpoints that were previously accessible anonymously became restricted: /orgs, /orgs/{org}, /orgs/{org}/repos, /orgs/{org}/public_members, /orgs/{org}/public_members/{username}, /orgs/{org}/labels.
  • Fix 2-dot direct compare to use the right base commit. For 2-dot direct compare, the base commit should be used in the title and templates, as is used elsewhere, not the common ancestor which is used for 3-dot compare.
  • Make CORS work. No CORS headers were set, even if CORS was enabled in the configuration.
  • Fix issue attachment removal. When an attachment was removed from an issue or review comment, all of the image/attachment links were broken.
  • Fix wiki write permissions for users who do not have repository write permissions. When a team member had write access to the wiki but not to the code repository, some operations (deleting a page for instance) were denied.
  • Respect the REGISTER_MANUAL_CONFIRM setting when registering via OAuth. Contrary to the local registration, the OAuth registration flow activated a newly registered user regardless of the value of REGISTER_MANUAL_CONFIRM.
  • Fix tags list for repos whose release setting is disabled. When releases was disabled the "tags" button led to a Not Found page, even when tags existed.

• Container image upgrades

  In the Forgejo container images the Git version was upgraded to 2.38.5 as a precaution. The Forgejo security team analyzed the security fixes it contains and concluded that Forgejo is not affected.

1.19.1-0

The complete list of commits included in the Forgejo v1.19.1-0 release can be reviewed from the command line with:

$ git clone https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/
$ git -C forgejo log --oneline --no-merges v1.19.0-3..v1.19.1-0

This stable release includes bug fixes. Functional changes related to the experimental CI have also been backported.

• Recommended Action

  We recommend that all installations are upgraded to the latest version.

• Forgejo Semantic Version

  The semantic version was updated from 4.0.0+0-gitea-1.19.0 to 4.1.0+0-gitea-1.19.1 because of the changes introduced in the internal CI.

• Bug fixes

  The most prominent ones are described here, others can be found in the list of commits included in the release as described above.

  • Fix RSS/ATOM/GPG/KEYS path for users (or orgs) with a dot in their name. It is allowed for a user (or an organization) to have a dot in their name, for instance user.name. Because of a bug in Chi it was not possible to access /user.name.png, /user.name.gpg, etc. A workaround was implemented while a proper fix is being discussed.
  • Creating a tag via the web interface no longer requires a title.
  • Use fully qualified URLs in Dockerfile. The Dockerfile to create the Forgejo container image now uses the fully qualified image docker.io/library/golang:1.20-alpine3.17 instead of golang:1.20-alpine3.17. This allows for building on platforms that don't have docker hub as the default container registry.
  • Redis use Get/Set instead of Rename when Regenerate session id. The old sid and new sid may be in different redis cluster slot.
  • Do not escape space between PyPI repository url and package name. It also adds a trailing slash to the PyPI repository URL in accordance to Python PEP-503.
  • Fix failure when using the API and an empty rule_name to protect a branch. The rule_name parameter for the /repos/{owner}/{repo}/branch_protections API now defaults to the branch name instead of being empty.
  • Fix branch protection priority. Contrary to the documentation it was possible for a glob rule to take precedence over a non-glob rule.
  • Fix deleting an issue when the git repo does not exist. If a project had an issue tracker (such as the Forgejo discussion) but no git repository, trying to delete an issue would fail.
  • Fix accidental overwriting of LDAP team memberships. If an LDAP user is a member of two groups, the LDAP group sync only matched the last group.

1.19.0-3

The complete list of commits included in the Forgejo v1.19.0-3 release can be reviewed from the command line with:

$ git clone https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/
$ git -C forgejo log --oneline --no-merges v1.19.0-2..v1.19.0-3

This stable release includes security updates and bug fixes.

• Recommended Action

  We recommend that all installations are upgraded to the latest version.

• Security

  The Forgejo security team analyzed the vulnerabilities fixed in the latest Go 1.20.3 packages and Alpine 3.17.3 and concluded that Forgejo is not affected.

  As a precaution the Forgejo v1.19.0-3 binaries were compiled with Go 1.20.3 packages as published on 4 April 2023 and the container images were built with Alpine 3.17.3 as published on 29 March 2023.

• Forgejo Semantic Version

  The semantic version was updated from 3.0.0+0-gitea-1.19.0 to 4.0.0+0-gitea-1.19.0 because of the breaking changes described below.

• Breaking changes

  They should not have a significant impact because they are related to experimental features (federation and CI).

  • Use User.ID instead of User.Name in ActivityPub API for Person IRI

    The ActivityPub id is an HTTPS URI that should remain constant, even if the user changes their name.

  • Actions unit is repo.actions instead of actions.actions

    All instances of actions.actions in the DISABLED_REPO_UNITS or DEFAULT_REPO_UNITS configuration variables must be replaced with repo.actions.

• Bug fixes

  They are for the most part about user interface and actions. The most prominent ones are:

  • Do not filter repositories by default on the explore page. The behavior of the explore page is back to what it was in Forgejo v1.18. Changing it was confusing.
  • Skip LFS when disabled in dump and doctor.
  • Do not display own email on the profile.
  • Make minio package support legacy MD5 checksum.
  • Do not triggers Webhooks and actions on closed PR.

1.19.0-2

The complete list of commits included in the Forgejo v1.19.0-2 release can be reviewed from the command line with:

$ git clone https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/
$ git -C forgejo log --oneline --no-merges origin/v1.18/forgejo..origin/v1.19/forgejo

• Breaking changes

  • Scoped access tokens

    Forgejo access token, used with the API can now have a "scope" that limits what it can access. Existing tokens stored in the database and created before Forgejo v1.19 had unlimited access. For backward compatibility, their access will remain the same and they will continue to work as before. However, newly created token that do not specify a scope will now only have read-only access to public user profile and public repositories.

    For instance, the /users/{username}/tokens API endpoint will require the scopes: ['all', 'sudo'] parameter and the forgejo admin user generate-access-token will require the --scopes all,sudo argument obtain tokens with ulimited access as before for admin users.

    Read more about the scoped tokens.

  • Disable all units except code and pulls on forks

    When forking a repository, the fork will now have issues, projects, releases, packages and wiki disabled. These can be enabled in the repository settings afterwards. To change back to the previous default behavior, configure DEFAULT_FORK_REPO_UNITS to be the same value as DEFAULT_REPO_UNITS.

  • Filter repositories by default on the explore page

    The explore page now always filters out repositories that are considered not relevant because they are either forks or have no topic and not description and no icon. A link is shown to display all repositories, unfiltered.

    

  • Remove deprecated DSA host key from Docker Container Since OpenSSH 7.0 and greater similarly disable the ssh-dss (DSA) public key algorithm, and recommend against its use. http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html

  • Additional restrictions on valid user names

    The algorithm for validating user names was modified and some users may have invalid names. The command forgejo doctor --run check-user-names will list all of them so they can be renamed.

    If a Forgejo instance has users or organizations named forgejo-actions and gitea-actions, they will also need to be renamed before the upgrade. They are now reserved names for the experimental internal CI/CD named Actions.

  • Semantic version

    Since v1.18.5, in addition to the Forgejo release number, a semantic version number (e.g. v3.0.0) can be obtained from the number key of a new /api/forgejo/v1/version endpoint.

    Now, it reflects the Gitea version that Forgejo depends on, is no longer prefixed with v (e.g. 3.0.0+0-gitea-1.19.0), and can be obtained from the version key of the same endpoint.

• Features

  • Documentation The first version of the Forgejo documentation is available and covers the administration of Forgejo, from installation to troubleshooting.

    Read more about semantic versions

  • Webhook authorization header Forgejo webhooks can be configured to send an authorization header to the target.

    Read more about the webhook authorization header

  • Incoming emails You can now set up Forgejo to receive incoming email. When enabled, it is now possible to reply to an email notification from Forgejo and:

    • Add a comment to an issue or a pull request
    • Unsubscribe to the notifications

    Read more about incoming emails

  • Packages registries

    • Support for Cargo, Conda and Chef
    • Cleanup rules
    • Quota limits

  • Option to prohibit fork if user reached maximum limit of repositories It is possible for a user to create as many fork as they want, even when a quota on the number of repositories is imposed. The new ALLOW_FORK_WITHOUT_MAXIMUM_LIMIT setting can now be set to false so forks are prohibited if that means exceeding the quota.

    Read more about repository configurations

  • Scoped labels Labels that contain a forward slash (/) separator are displayed with a slightly different color before and after the separator, as a visual aid. The first part of the label defines its "scope".

    Read more about scoped labels.

  • Support org/user level projects It is now possible to create projects (kanban boards) for an organization or a user, in the same way it was possible for an individual repository.

  • Map OIDC groups to Orgs/Teams When a user logs in Forgejo using an provider such as Keycloak, they can now automatically be part of a Forgejo team, depending on the OIDC group they belong to. For instance:

    {"Developer": {"MyForgejoOrganization": ["MyForgejoTeam1", "MyForgejoTeam2"]}}
    

    Means that the user who is in the OIDC group Developer will automatically be a member of the MyForgejoTeam1 and MyForgejoTeam2 teams in the MyForgejoOrganization organization. This mapping is set when adding a new Authentication Source in the Site Administration panel.

    

    ...

    

    Read more about OIDC groups mapping

  • RSS feed for releases and tags

    A RSS feed is now available for releases at /{owner}/{repo}/releases.rss and tags at /{owner}/{repo}/tags.rss.

  • Supports wildcard protected branch

    Instead of selecting a branch to be protected, the name of the branch must be specified and can be a pattern such as precious*.

    Read more about branch protection.

  • Garbage collect LFS Add a doctor command for full garbage collection of LFS: forgejo doctor --run gc-lfs.

  • Additions to the API

    • Management for issue/pull and comment attachments
    • Get latest release
    • System hook

  • Option to disable releases on a repository

    It is now possible to disable releases on a repository, in the same way it is possible to disable issues or packages.

  • Git reflog support The git reflog are now active by default on all repositories and kept around for 90 days. It allows the Forgejo admin to recover the previous tip of a branch after an accidental force push.

    Read more about reflog

  • Actions: an experimental CI/CD

    It appears for the first time in this Forgejo release but is not yet fit for production. It is not fully implemented and may be insecure. However, as long as it is not enabled, it presents no risk to existing Forgejo instances.

    If a repository has a file such as .forgejo/workflows/test.yml, it will be interpreted, for instance to run tests and verify the code in the repository works as expected (Continuous Integration). It can also be used to create HTML pages for a website and publish them (Continous Deployment). The syntax is similar to GitHub Actions and the jobs can be controled from the Forgejo web interface.

1.18.5-0

This stable release contains an important security fix for Forgejo to raise the protection against brute force attack on hashed passwords stored in the database to match industry standards, as described in detail in a companion blog post.

Recommended Action

We strongly recommend that all Forgejo installations are upgraded to the latest version as soon as possible.

If PASSWORD_HASH_ALGO is explicitly set in app.ini, comment it out so that the stronger algorithm is used instead.

All password hashes stored with another algorithm will be updated to the new algorithm on the next usage of this password (e.g. a user provides the password to the Forgejo server when they login). It does not require manual intervention.

1.18.2-1

This stable release includes a security fix. It was possible to reveal a user's email address, which is problematic because users can choose to hide their email address from everyone. This was possible because the notification email for a repository transfer request to an organization included every user's email address in the owner team. This has been fixed by sending individual emails instead and the code was refactored to prevent it from happening again.

We strongly recommend that all installations are upgraded to the latest version as soon as possible.

Critical security update for Git

Git recently announced new versions to address two CVEs (CVE-2022-23521, CVE-2022-41903). On 17 January 2023, Git published the maintenance release v2.39.1, together with releases for older maintenance tracks v2.38.3, v2.37.5, v2.36.4, v2.35.6, v2.34.6, v2.33.6, v2.32.5, v2.31.6, and v2.30.7. All major GNU/Linux distributions also provide updated packages via their security update channels.

We strongly recommend that all installations running a version affected by the issues described below are upgraded to the latest version as soon as possible.

• When using a Forgejo binary: upgrade the git package to a version greater or equal to v2.39.1, v2.38.3, v2.37.5, v2.36.4, v2.35.6, v2.34.6, v2.33.6, v2.32.5, v2.31.6, or v2.30.7
• When using a Forgejo container image: docker pull codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:1.18.1-0

Release process stability

The release process based on Woodpecker CI was entirely reworked to be more resilient to transient errors. A new release is first uploaded into the new Forgejo experimental organization for testing purposes.

Automated end to end testing of releases was implemented with a full development cycle including the creation of a new repository and a run of CI. It relieves the user and developer from the burden of tedious manual testing.

Container environment variables

When running a container, all environment variables starting with FORGEJO__ can be used instead of GITEA__. For backward compatibility with existing scripts, it is still possible to use GITEA__ instead of FORGEJO__. For instance:

docker run --name forgejo -e FORGEJO__security__INSTALL_LOCK=true codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:1.18.1-0

Forgejo hook types

A new forgejo hook type is available and behaves exactly the same as the existing gitea hook type. It will be used to implement additional features specific to Forgejo in a way that will be backward compatible with Gitea.

X-Forgejo headers

Wherever a X-Gitea header is received or sent, an identical X-Forgejo is added. For instance when a notification mail is sent, the X-Forgejo-Reason header is set to explain why. Or when a webhook is sent, the X-Forgejo-Event header is set with push, tag, etc. for Woodpecker CI to decide on an action.

Look and feel fixes

The Forgejo theme was modified to take into account user feedback.

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.
