Forgejo v1.19 release candidates

Today Forgejo v1.19.0-0-rc0 was released. It is meant for testing only: do not upgrade a production instance with it.

The draft release notes contain a summary of the new features. The highlights are:

• Incoming emails
• Scoped labels
• Package registries now support for Cargo, Conda and Chef. They also have new cleanup rules and quota limits.
• Any webhook can now specify an Authorization header to be sent along every request.

The Actions experimental CI/CD, although not ready for real world usage, is also present and can be used to run a demo.

Make sure to check the breaking changes and get your production instance ready for when the v1.19 release is available.

The release candidate is published in the dedicated “experimental” Forgejo organization and can be downloaded from:

• Containers at https://codeberg.org/forgejo-experimental/-/packages/container/forgejo/1.19
• Binaries at https://codeberg.org/forgejo-experimental/forgejo/releases/tag/v1.19.0-0-rc0

They will be updated based on your feedback until they become robust enough to be released.

Help write good release notes

The best release notes are meant to articulate the needs and benefits of new features and the actions recommended for breaking changes so Forgejo admins quickly know if it is of interest to them.

The current draft release notes contain a complete inventory but the descriptions are still incomplete. They will be finished by the time the release is published and you can help make them better.
