The fix was released after a 90-day embargo in Forgejo v1.20.5-0. Four release candidates for v1.21 were published, featuring improved Forgejo Actions support and end-to-end testing. A new cascading-pr action was introduced to simplify cross-repository dependency testing. The report also discusses federation progress via ForgeFlux compliance testing, the ecosystem around Forgejo service providers and hosting, Gitea's new copyright assignment requirement (which caused friction when contributing the security fix), and plans for a FOSDEM 2024 presence. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
