release
false

The time has come for another major release! We are proud to present Gitea 1.8.0 to the world. This release contains two new security fixes which cannot be backported to the 1.7.0 branch, so it is recommended to update to this version. In this release, we merged 245 pull requests -- This is more than 1.7.0 (157) and 1.6.0 (178).

You can download one of our pre-built binaries from our downloads page - make sure to select the correct platform! For further details on how to install, follow our installation guide. Unfortunately there is a known issue with our prebuilt images on armv7, see #6700.

We'd like to thank all of our backers on Open Collective, who are helping us deliver a better piece of software.

With that out of the way, here's what's new in Gitea version 1.8.0:

OAuth2 Provider #5378

Gitea is now an OAuth2 Provider. This fixes and closes issue #27!

Authorize TestApp Access

Thanks to @jonasfranz

Repositories can now be archived #5009

Repositories in Gitea can now be archived. This prevents the creation of new issues, pull-requests or pushing to the git repository.

Help us out!

Gitea is focused on community input and contributions. To keep a project like Gitea going we need people. LOTS of people. You can help in the following areas:

Programming

If you know Go or HTML/CSS/JavaScript, you may be interested in working on the code. Working on OSS may seem scary, but the best way is to try! Read the Gitea contribution guide, and then find an itch to scratch, or scratch your own!

Translating

Want to translate Gitea in your own language? Awesome! Join the Gitea project on Crowdin. As soon as your translation is approved, it will be pushed to the Gitea project to be used in future releases!

Documentation

Documentation is important, but also time consuming. If you enjoy writing and have a pretty good knowledge of English, or you would like to translate the English version to your native language, you're very welcome to do so. Find our documentation on the main git repository here. Just fork, update the documentation and then create a pull request!

Support

Do you like people? Can you give calm and thought-out responses to users needing help? Then you can spend some time providing support to those who need it. Most answers can really be found in the documentation, so make sure to take some time to read it. Then, either join our chat or forums (linked below), or simply help us sort out issues and answer questions on the Gitea repository.

Donations

If you, or your company, want to help us out sustain our financial expenses, you can do so by donating on Open Collective.

… or reporting bugs

If you lack the time or knowledge to do any of the above, just using Gitea and sharing the word is enough to make us happy! One thing you can always do is to report any bugs you find on the Gitea issue tracker.

Before opening an issue, read the contribution guidelines about reporting bugs. After opening an issue, try to stick around a while to answer any questions we might have. Replies greatly help us find the root cause of an issue.

Thanks
