The Forgejo team has released v16 of the community-developed, lightweight platform for code collaboration.

Free and open source Forgejo, which is brought to you by the non-profit Codeberg e.V., focuses on security, scaling, federation, and privacy, the website states. Additionally, “Forgejo has a low server profile and requires an order of magnitude less resources than other forges.”

Notable changes in v16, according to the announcement, include:

  • Improved security of pull mirrors.
  • Granular repository watch settings. 
  • Authorized integrations allow secret-less access to the API. 
  • Review comments can be placed on multiple lines of code. 
  • The commit list has a cleaner, easier-to-read layout.

Before upgrading, admins are strongly advised to make a full backup, as explained in the upgrade guide. Learn more at Forgejo.
