Forgejo v8.0 released

[Posted July 31, 2024 by jzb]

Version 8.0 of the Forgejo software-development platform has been released. Notable changes include the removal of non-free software found in the codebase, improved stability, and a reduction in "seemingly random User Interface changes":

A gentle way of describing Forgejo User eXperience is that it is an acquired taste: it grew over the years, driven by the inspiration of the person with the keyboard in their hand. Once implemented it almost never changed. A user who started with Forgejo in 2022 can only see minor changes in 2024 and not all of them make intuitive sense. The solution to this problem is simple and was identified early on: User Research. But only in the making of Forgejo v8.0 did it get some momentum.

See the release notes for a full list of changes.

Somebody's idea how software ought to be developed: great, if you happen to have the same ideas; nice, if your ideas and prejudices are similar; an intrusive, opinionated PoS otherwise.

It's a great project. I have been moving away from github and to codeberg for my personal projects.
