Schedule

Gitea 1.18-rc1 is currently set to be released on 2022-09-15, so in the middle of september.
All new features for 1.18 should be merged until 2022-08-21 to be included in the next release.

Previous Plans

• Plan of Gitea v1.17 #18345
• Plan of Gitea v1.16 #16429
• Discussion of v1.15.x Roadmap #14477

My plans are

• Reviewing a lot of PRs (as always 😃 )
• a Plugin Mechanism #20126 so that we can finally offload all the optional customizations there without bloating the main binary too much. (At least if I find the time for it, I know already that my free time will be scarce until the next release)

To keep this thread going, my optimistic plans for this release:

• Continue improving mobile experience for Gitea.
• Continue with QoL improvements.
• Fix-up my open private issues PR to be more secure-by-design and hopefully get it merged this release or early next one.
• Help moving forward with federation.

Enhanced 2FA support and disabling simple user/pass login in favor of SSO are two long standing feature wishes which would be great to have :)
