Hi all,

Gitea v1.20.0-rc0 has been released.
We have created the release/v1.20 branch accompanied by the v1.21.0-dev tag and are now using main for 1.21 development.
As always, this issue is intended to show what you can expect from the next version.

Schedule

Gitea 1.21 is currently set to enter feature freeze on 2023-09-03 23:59 UTC, so in the beginning of september.
This deadline is at the moment only a rough estimate and might change in the future.
