Keep in mind if you’ve pinned your docker-compose.yml as they suggest in the installation guide, you’ll want to increment that.

More features that are preparing for full federation support! Exciting!
Can’t wait!
What are some benefits of a vcs being federated?
I imagine ability to fork, comment, open an issue or a merge (pull) request, do a code review etc from an account on one instance to a project on another. That would enable true decentralisation of software development. It was one of the original promises of Git, but was lost with the emergence of GitHub. With such federated network of forges each developer, or a group working on a project, could run their own server and collaborate with anyone else, without registering accounts on hundreds of services. I’d love that.
Does Forgejo have any killer features or something that makes it worthwhile for me to switch away from Gitea now?
The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.
While right now the features have not diverged that much, only Forgejo is working on federation and due to license incompatibility it will not be possible to back-port that to Gitea.
Not being run by corporate overlords
Seriously though, the community is a lot healthier
By the way you framed you question sounds like you are looking for an excuse to move away from gitea

Since I just saw this in the self-host weekly post:
Seems like there is a bug and one should use 13.0.1

Good to know, thanks for the PSA.
Ist a federated git?
Not yet, but that’s coming https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59
Update June 2024: this issue is no longer updated. Progress on federation can be followed from:
- The monthly reports
- Issues and pull requests tagged with
forgejo/federation - The dedicated federation repository which includes a roadmap
It’s like, there if you want it, but you totally don’t have to download. No pressure at all!
