A Forgejo release is published shortly after a Gitea release is published and they have [matching release numbers](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/forgejo/CONTRIBUTING/RELEASE.md#release-numbering). 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. v1.19.1 or v1.19.2) does not require manual actions but others might (e.g. v1.18.0, v1.19.0).
## DRAFT 1.19.0-0
> **These are draft release notes for the upcoming `Forgejo v1.19.0-0` release. They are improved while release candidates are made available for testing in the https://codeberg.org/forgejo-experimental organization. Contributions are welcome!** [Read more...](https://forgejo.org/2023-02-27-release-v1/)
The [complete list of commits](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commits/branch/v1.19/forgejo) included in the `Forgejo v1.19.0-0` release can be reviewed from the command line with:
[API](https://forgejo.org/docs/admin/api-usage/) 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](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.19/user/oauth2-provider/#scoped-tokens).
#### [Repositories: by default disable all units except code and pulls on forks](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/2741546be)
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`.
#### [Remove deprecated DSA host key from Docker Container](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/f17edfaf5a31ea3f4e9152424b75c2c4986acbe3)
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`.
The first version of the [Forgejo documentation](https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/) is available and covers the administration of Forgejo, from installation to troubleshooting.
Forgejo webhooks can be configured to send an [authorization header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Authorization) to the target.
[Read more about the webhook authorization header](https://forgejo.codeberg.page/docs/v1.19/user/webhooks/#authorization-header)
* Add support for [Cargo](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/df789d962), [Conda](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/6ba9ff7b4) and [Chef](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/d987ac6bf) package registries
#### [Option to prohibit fork if user reached maximum limit of repositories](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/7cc7db73b)
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](https://forgejo.org/docs/admin/config-cheat-sheet/#repository-repository)
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".
Such an exclusive label cannot be used at the same time as other labels in the same scope. In this example only one of the the exclusive labels `forgejo/ui` and `forgejo/i18n` can be selected and is shown with a leading dot. Multiple non exclusive labels can be selected and are shown with a leading checkmark.
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](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/e8186f1c0)
When a user logs in Forgejo using an provider such as [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/), they can now automatically be part of a Forgejo team, depending on the OIDC group they belong to. For instance:
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.

#### [Option to disable releases on a repository](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/faa96553d)
It is now possible to disable releases on a repository, in the same way it is possible to disable issues or packages.
### [Actions](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/4011821c946e8db032be86266dd9364ccb204118): 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. [Read more...](https://forgejo.codeberg.page/2023-02-27-forgejo-actions/)
#### [Review box on small screens](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/1fcf96ad0)
The rendering of the review box is improved on small screens.
#### [Copy citation file content in APA and BibTex format](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/9f8e77891)
If a [BibTeX](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX) file named `CITATION.bib` is at the root of the repository, it can be conveniently copied and converted in APA by following the `Cite this repository` link.
Files with the `.cast` extension are displayed in the Forgejo web interface as [asciicast v2](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/blob/develop/doc/asciicast-v2.md) using [asciinema-player](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player).
#### [Attention blocks Note and Warning](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/cb8328853)
For each quote block, the first `**Note**` or `**Warning**` gets an icon
prepended to it and its text is colored accordingly.
#### [Support for commit cross references](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/d0d257b24)
A commit hash can now be prefixed by the repository to be referenced from a comment in another repository: `owner/repo@commit`.
#### [Preview images for Issue cards in Project Board view](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/fb1a2a13f)
If the card preview in the project is set to **Images and Text**, it displays images found in the corresponding issue. The most recent is displayed first, up to five images.
[Read more about card preview images](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.19/user/project/#card-previews-images).
#### [Add "Copy" button to file view of raw text](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/e3a7f1579)
If a raw text file is displayed, a copy button of the text is enabled.
#### [Setting to allow edits on PRs by maintainers](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/49919c636)
Add setting to allow edits by maintainers by default, to avoid having to often ask contributors to enable this.
### Container images upgraded to Alpine 3.17
The Forgejo container images are now based on [Alpine 3.17](https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.17.0-released.html) instead of Alpine 3.16. It includes an upgrade from git 2.36.5 to git 2.38.4 and from openssh 9.0p1 to openssh 9.1p1.
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](https://forgejo.org/2023-02-23-release-v1/).
### 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.
### Forgejo
* SECURITY
* Upgrade the default password hash algorithm to pbkdf2 with 320,000 iterations (https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/407)
* BUGFIXES
* Return the Forgejo semantic version instead of "development" (https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/381)
### Gitea
* SECURITY
* Provide the ability to set password hash algorithm parameters (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/22942) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/22943)

* Use `--message=%s` for git commit message (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23028) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23029)
* Render access log template as text instead of HTML (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23013) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23025)
* Fix the Manually Merged form (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23015) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23017)
* Use beforeCommit instead of baseCommit (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/22949) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/22996)
* Display attachments of review comment when comment content is blank (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23035) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23046)
* Return empty url for submodule tree entries (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23043) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23048)
* Notify on container image create (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/22806) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/22965)
* Some refactor about code comments(https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/20821) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/22707)
Note that there is no Forgejo v1.18.4-N because Gitea v1.18.4 was replaced by Gitea v1.18.5 a few days after its release because of a regression. Forgejo was not affected.
## 1.18.3-2
This stable release includes a security fix for `git` and bug fixes.
### Git
Git [recently announced](https://github.blog/2023-02-14-git-security-vulnerabilities-announced-3/) new versions to address two CVEs ([CVE-2023-22490](https://cve.circl.lu/cve/CVE-2023-22490), [CVE-2023-23946](https://cve.circl.lu/cve/CVE-2023-23946)).

## 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.
### Gitea

* Reliable selection of admin user (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/22509) (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/22511)
## 1.18.1-0
This is the first Forgejo stable point release.
### Forgejo
### Critical security update for Git
Git [recently announced](https://github.blog/2023-01-17-git-security-vulnerabilities-announced-2/) new versions to address two CVEs ([CVE-2022-23521](https://cve.circl.lu/cve/CVE-2022-23521), [CVE-2022-41903](https://cve.circl.lu/cve/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`
Read more in the [Forgejo blog](https://forgejo.org/2023-01-18-release-v1-18-1-0/).
#### Release process stability
The [release process](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/v1.18/forgejo-ci) based on [Woodpecker CI](https://woodpecker-ci.org/) was entirely reworked to be more resilient to transient errors. A new release is first uploaded into the new [Forgejo experimental](https://codeberg.org/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.
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.

A new [CI configuration](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/v1.18/forgejo-ci) based on [Woodpecker CI](https://woodpecker-ci.org/) was created. It is used to:
* run tests on every Forgejo pull request ([compliance](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/tag/v1.18.0-1/.woodpecker/compliance.yml), [unit tests and integration tests](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/tag/v1.18.0-1/.woodpecker/testing-amd64.yml))
* publish the Forgejo v1.18.0-1 release, [as binary packages](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/releases/tag/v1.18.0-1) for amd64, arm64 and armv6 and [container images](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/-/packages/container/forgejo/1.18.0-1) for amd64 and arm64, root and rootless
#### Look and feel
The default themes were replaced by Forgejo themes and the landing page was [modified](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/v1.18/forgejo-branding) to display the Forgejo logo and names but the look and feel remains otherwise identical to Gitea.
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](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/v1.18/forgejo-privacy) at installation time or by modifying the configuration file. Forgejo also provides an alternative [RSS feed](https://forgejo.org/releases/) to be informed when a new release is published.
