What is Forgejo?

Forgejo keeps patching its v15 stable line, now at v15.0.11.

Forgejo's newest tracked release is v15.0.11, two weeks after v15.0.10. Before that the feed jumped from v11.0.16 in July, with no v12–v14 releases in between. Release entries only link to external notes, so the specific changes in each patch aren't visible here.

What is Shuffle?

Shuffle tags builds almost daily, but the notes are empty.

Shuffle has tagged six 2.3.1 builds since November 3: release candidates 4 to 6 and three nightly builds. Only rc4 lists a change, a fix for a frontend crash; the rest link to commit comparisons. The more substantive rc1 in October handled AI agent actions in hybrid worker setups.

Forgejo keeps patching its v15 stable line, now at v15.0.11.

◆ Current state

Forgejo's newest tracked release is v15.0.11, two weeks after v15.0.10. Before that the feed jumped from v11.0.16 in July, with no v12–v14 releases in between. Release entries only link to external notes, so the specific changes in each patch aren't visible here.

◆ Where it's heading

The point-release rhythm continues: v11.0.x shipped roughly monthly from January to July, and v15 is now on its eleventh patch at a similar pace. Jumping four major versions in three months suggests majors are cut often and each branch then gets a patch series. Without the release notes, whether those majors bring large feature changes is unclear.

◆ Prediction

The likely next entry is v15.0.12 in two to four weeks. The entries don't show whether the v11 maintenance branch is still receiving fixes.

◆ Current state

◆ Where it's heading

The project is iterating toward 2.3.1 with frequent builds, and the October notes show the work is about making AI agent steps run reliably in workflows. The empty release notes make it hard to see what each build changes.

◆ Prediction

A 2.3.1 final release looks close given the run of release candidates and nightlies, though the entries do not say what it will contain beyond fixes.
