For anyone curious why they should choose one over the other:

Unfortunately, seems like this is Forgejo's best suggestion on how to compare the two: https://i.imgur.com/j1665QR.png. Not sure that page helps much if you're not already bought in to a free-software-absolutist mindset

I suggest browsing through the release notes of the last 4-5 versions to see what you like more.

> This release contains security fixes. To give everyone time to upgrade, details will be added to this post in about a week.
Is this something that has been happening for a while or a new trend due to LLM concerns? I understand the reasoning, it just made me do a double take because I haven't really seen that before.

With Gitea specifically or in general? A lot of different software has silently included security fixes in updates combined with other changes and then later revealed what security fixes were made or stayed quiet about it all together, since long before LLMs could analyze changes.
Security researchers and malware authors would reverse engineer software updates of proprietary software, and scrutinise source code changes of open source projects to find secretly shipped security fixes.

Bizarre policy. Any bad guys unaware of the security implications are analyzing the patch diffs as we speak, so this seems nonsensical to me.

Yeah maybe it made sense in the past, but not in the age of AI.

> Gitea drops the historical 1. prefix from its version numbers, so this release is 28.0.0 rather than 1.28.0.

They're even ahead of Apple. macOS 27? Nah, how about Gitea 28?
