Help us in making Forgejo v9 a great release

We are looking forward to shipping the improvements we have made in the past months to all Forgejo users. Today, we have reached the next milestone in our release cycle, reaching a period of feature freeze to focus on fixing bugs. The release of Forgejo v9.0 is scheduled for 16 October 2024.

It is a good moment for you to help ensuring the next Forgejo release is a success. Thank you for your support!

Localization

With the feature freeze comes a period of less new strings to translate. Now is the best time to translate Forgejo into your language, we invite you to check out the localization guide and joining us on Weblate.

Localizing Forgejo helps more users around the world to get involved in free/libre software development, including end-users submitting bug reports and students who get in touch with Forgejo in schools.

Additionally, raising the completion status before the next release reduces the effort on our end to backport translations to existing Forgejo releases.

Join our localization effort today!
