Key new features include manually triggerable Forgejo Actions, self-registration disabled by default, and optional hiding of generated release attachments. The release also addresses licensing issues with non-free frontend dependencies. Forgejo v8.0 is supported until October 2024, while v7.0 remains the LTS release until July 2025. Progress on ActivityPub federation and data portability building blocks was also merged, though not yet user-visible. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
