Forgejo's August 2024 monthly report covers several major developments: the project switched its license from MIT to GNU GPL v3+, making it a stronger copyleft project. The go-git backend was removed from the codebase due to data corruption risks and maintenance burden. ActivityPub federation saw meaningful progress with federated user activity following. Notable pull requests include space usage quotas, SSH key authentication for push mirrors, and compressed Actions logs by default. The Helm chart received security updates, Couchbase session provider support was dropped, and the Forgejo runner received a security fix. Localization saw over 2,000 string updates, and a grant application was submitted to the Sovereign Tech Fund for sustainability.
