Forgejo v7.0 is available with translations in Bulgarian, Esperanto, Filipino and Slovenian; SourceHut builds integration; support for the SHA-256 hash function in Git; source code search by default and more. It also is the first Long Term Support version. The adoption of semantic versioning is the reason for the version bump from v1.21 to v7.0 and is compatible with existing tools. ✨

> Did you read the post? It has a section about that:
I didn't read the article as I'm solely interested in finally having a federated code forge. So I checked the site's FAQ, where they still list it as "on the roadmap" despite being the "primary goal" (to be frank, Forgejo is an MVP without the P). https://forgejo.org/faq/#is-there-a-roadmap-for-forgejo
@tobtobxx@forgejo@earlwarren please note that I just quoted from the release. I'm also looking forward to see federation but don't want to discourage anyone.
I'm happy to be part of the Foss scene and am happy for every single person contributing time and passion.
So thank you very much for all the efforts you already put into that topic.
While writing a response, I realized it was going to be big. So I wrote a blog post. I will respond to the emotional part of your answer here, but please see my blog post at the end.
> Your messages make me sad and are discouraging. Is that what you hoped for?
No, absolutely not. I would very much like to apologize for offending you; I'm sorry, it was not my intention.
I do think that my criticism to the Forgejo project is valid. But I know how open-source works, so I really don't want anyone to be blamed for that criticism. I'd guess most of the maintainers and contributors are awesome and passionate people. This is just the 2c of a random dude on the internet.
> You can mock me and others publicly for not getting there faster, of course.
No I absolutely may not, it is not acceptable to mock people. I don't even pay or contribute to Forgejo, but even if I did, I would have no right to do that. I tried to avoid blaming anyone, but apparently I failed, I apologize for that. Still, I think my point stands, but I want to get it across without hurting anyone.
@tobtobxx@danielsiepmann@forgejo the blog post helps a lot. It clearly articulates why you are "infuriated", "disapointed" by a "broken promise" (your words).
It all boils down to your opinion that people did wrong. "we weren't years away from the first federation features."
How would you know?
You cannot believe that it takes so long. You assume someone must be blamed.
But the reality is people keep working despite the roadblocks. I am one of them. I am a volunteer. I will keep at it.
But I also want to say: I don't like the new: "Add more..."-Button in the tabs of a repository if issues etc are deactivated
Why? I deactivated issues etc for a personal project to have a clean look. Now I have an additional big button 😄
