# Forgejo v16.0 is available

**[Lobsters](https://daily.dev/sources/lobsters)** · 12 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Forgejo v16.0 has been released with several notable changes. Breaking changes include SSRF hardening for Git mirrors (HTTP redirects now disabled), removal of EXIF stripping due to a licensing issue with an AGPL library, and a security fix for containerized deployments where the default trusted proxies wildcard setting could allow user impersonation. New features include granular repository watch settings (Issues, PRs, Releases), migration progress indicators, downsized avatar variants for bandwidth savings, and consistency checks on incoming Git objects. Pull request improvements include multi-line review comments, a redesigned commits view, and significantly improved review comment placement using git blame --reverse. Forgejo Actions gains manual workflow run prioritization, Authorized Integrations (JWT-based API/Git authentication), new API endpoints for workflow logs and artifacts, and workflow run deletion. The release is non-LTS and supported until 29 October 2026.
