The upcoming release of Gitea 1.19 adds the ability to map OIDC groups to organization teams. Gitea is often used in combination with the Azure Active Directory for authentication. Now, with OIDC group mapping you can map a user’s Active Directory groups to Gitea organization teams. This allows for a more centralized user access management for repositories and organizations. To use this feature, you’ll need to create an Azure Active Directory app, configure Gitea to use that app, and then map Azure Active Directory groups to Gitea teams.

We are proud to present the release of Gitea version 1.18.5.

We highly encourage users to update to this version for some important bug-fixes.

We have merged 8 pull requests to release this version.

Attention please.

Due to an Admin Merge / Auto Merge regression bug found in 1.18.4, we are going to release 1.18.5 soon. If you are affected by that bug, you could downgrade to 1.18.3 safely and wait for 1.18.5.

Happy new year! As is tradition, the Gitea project conducted its yearly election at the end of December to decide the ownership team for 2023.
To ensure no one felt pressured to vote a certain way, this year’s election utilized the votesup.eu platform to conduct the voting.
Thanks to votesUP, which allows for election observers, we were able to have enhanced oversight and verification of the vote.

Election Results

The results of the ownership election yielded the same ownership team of the past year, where @techknowlogick, @lunny, and @zeripath were elected.
As a followup from a previous post, the maintainership team of the Gitea project has been in discussion over the past couple of months around what the future governance of the project looks like. These discussions resulted in the proposal of a governance charter for the project which was also voted on, and was passed with overwhelming support.
We’d like to send a sincere thank you to everyone who reached out and provided assistance and their experience with this process.
The governance charter proposed a technical oversight comittee (TOC) which expands the ownership team of the Gitea project from the current three elected positions to six positions, where three would be elected as it happened over past years, and the other three would consist of appointed members from the company.

With this new TOC in place, both @lunny and @techknowlogick have transitioned from their elected positions to become company appointed members, with @wolfogre joining them.
@6543 joined @zeripath to fill one of the remaining elected seats, being the next highest voted candidate.
For the final remaining elected seat, @jolheiser and @delvh tied for votes. In a subsequent runoff vote, @jolheiser was elected to fill the seat.

votesUP doesn’t have a way to publicly share concluded vote results at the time of this post, so we have included images for them instead.
Note that the first vote had some late voters and votesUP doesn’t allow for that during an active vote, so the first set of results were updated by an election observer to ensure that everyone who wanted to vote was able to.

Primary Vote (The proposal mentioned in the screenshot is reflected in the contents of this post)
Runoff Vote

TOC members, information about the TOC, and how it relates to the project will also be added to the CONTRIBUTING.md of the main repository.

We highly encourage users to update to this version for some important bug-fixes.

Thanks to everyone who reported the git vulnerability, which should naturally be patched in the 1.18.2 docker images by virtue of alpine having a patched version of git available.

The patched versions are the following:
>= v2.30.7, v2.31.6, v2.32.5, v2.33.6, v2.34.6, v2.35.6, v2.36.4, v2.37.5, v2.38.3, v2.39.1

One of the most requested features of Gitea is inclusion of a CI/CD system, and better integration with existing third-party CI/CD systems. With the work being done on Gitea Actions, we hope to provide a solution to this problem. ❗ Disclaimer ⚠️ the feature is EXPERIMENTAL, and please note that: It is disabled by default; It shouldn’t be used in a production environment currently; It shouldn’t be used in a public Gitea instance currently; Breaking changes may be made before it’s stable.
