Subj : Forgejo v8.0 released To : All From : LWN.net Date : Wed Jul 31 2024 17:00:05 Forgejo v8.0 released Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2024 15:58:08 +0000 Description: Version 8.0 of the Forgejo software-development platform has been released . Notable changes include the removal of non-free software found in the codebase, improved stability, and a reduction in " seemingly random User Interface changes ": A gentle way of describing Forgejo User eXperience is that it is an acquired taste: it grew over the years, driven by the inspiration of the person with the keyboard in their hand. Once implemented it almost never changed. A user who started with Forgejo in 2022 can only see minor changes in 2024 and not all of them make intuitive sense. The solution to this problem is simple and was identified early on: User Research. But only in the making of Forgejo v8.0 did it get some momentum. See the release notes for a full list of changes. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://lwn.net/Articles/984116/ --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet UK HUB @ hub.uk.erb.pw (1337:1/100) .
