Gitea 1.22.0 Release Candidate
We are very excited to release the last release candidate (RC) of Gitea 1.22! Gitea 1.22 is packed with new features and improvements. Getting the RC (release candidate) allows you to experiment with it early, try it on your workloads, and report any issues before the final release. Here are some notable changes and features in Gitea 1.22; for the full list, refer to the full release notes.
We are very thankful for the many people who have contributed to the project from sending code patches, reporting issues, translating, and in supporting us in many other ways too.
Note: Due to refactoring in the upcoming nightly version, we have dropped rc0 of 1.22 and with the release of rc1 the fixes have been incorporated. You won't be able to downgrade from RC1 to RC0. There will be no impact to end users who are using RC0, and they could safely upgrade to RC1 to get more bug fixes and new enhancements.
Major Breaking changes
-
Require MySQL 8.0, PostgreSQL 12, MSSQL 2012 (#27337) and Recommend/convert to use case-sensitive collation for MySQL/MSSQL (#28662).
Support for MySQL 5.7, PostgreSQL 10 and 11, and MSSQL 2008 is dropped. You are encouraged to upgrade to supported versions. And for MySQL/MSSQL which is default case insensitive, it caused some bugs when searching. So moving to a case-sensitive collation is recommended.

- Ref: https://endoflife.date/postgresql

If you use an unsupported database version, please get in touch with us for information on our Extended Support Contracts. We can provide testing and support for older databases and integrate those fixes into the Gitea codebase.

Breaking summary for template refactoring (#29395) The template system have been refactored, some template functions maybe changed or removed.
Safeis renamed toSafeHTML, and in most cases it shouldn't be used.Escapeis renamed toHTMLEscape, and in most cases it shouldn't be used. The template should escape most variables automatically.Str2htmlis renamed toSanitizeHTML, only use it when necessary, it only "sanitizes" the input by pre-defined rules, but it doesn't "render" or "convert" the content.- Use
HTMLFormatinstead ofprintfwhen processing HTML related contents.
If you are using custom templates (including "mail" templates and "website" templates), after you upgrade to Gitea 1.22, you should extract the templates from Gitea like before.
