Forgejo is two years old and has been a lively human adventure, a story worth telling. A hackathon organized by Codeberg generated thousands of new translations. Forgejo v9.0.0 was published, as well as a security patch release which was backported to Forgejo v7. A kubernetes cluster was created to replace the current infrastructure, running Forgejo from the Helm Chart.

#Forgejo v9.0 was just released! Get it at https://forgejo.org/download/. 🚀

It is the first version to be released under a copyleft license. Forgejo has early support for a soft-quota that can protect your server from high disk usage due to abuse. It also removes support for go-git, considered too hazardous for daily usage compared to Git. The translations saw an unprecedented number of improvements thanks to the hackathon organized by Codeberg.

Forgejo is looking for input from #Forgejo administrators.

We are considering dropping support for using Microsoft SQL Server as a database that can be used with Forgejo. We would love to hear your input, especially those using it (if there are any 👀), on this matter. See our rationale and current discussion at https://codeberg.org/forgejo/discussions/issues/122, we're looking forward to your input on this matter.

Forgejo forks its own path forward 🚀

Forgejo started as a soft fork of Gitea. Over time, it developed its own identity, adopted both development and governance practices - to ensure the stability, quality, and openness of the project - that made it more challenging to remain a soft fork. In early 2024, a decision was made to become a hard fork, and for Forgejo to forge its own path going forward. This post explains the consequences this decision will have.

Forgejo may become a hard fork of Gitea; user research is on the way to figure out the scope of moderation in Forgejo instances; a new requirement for tests was added to the development workflow; the "You pushed on branch" user experience was improved; the migration of translations to Weblate began.

#Forgejo releases are now mirrored at https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/forgejo 🚀

It would have been convenient for people in need of #Forgejo releases to rely on this mirror while Codeberg was unavailable because of a DDoS attack this week. code.forgejo.org is in a different country and they are unlikely to go down simultaneously. Both are in Europe but hundreds of kilometers apart.
