Plans for Gitea 1.20

[delvh]

Hi all,

Gitea v1.19.0-rc0 has been released.
We have created the release/v1.19 branch accompanied by the v1.20.0-dev tag and are now using main for 1.20 development.
As always, this issue is intended to show what you can expect from the next version.

Important

This summary is for things you plan to do yourself, not things you want other people to do.
Other comments will be hidden.

Schedule

Gitea 1.20 is currently set to enter feature freeze on 2023-05-28 23:59 UTC, so in the end of May.
This deadline is at the moment only a rough estimate and might change in the future.

I'll start with my plans:

• Reviewing a lot of PRs (as always)
• Notify about outdated settings #23203
• Convert <div class="button"> to <button class="button"> #23337
• One of (I probably will only be able to implement one of the two)
  • Plugin Mechanism #20126
  • Multi line review comments like github #12640

• Further implementations about Actions An internal CI/CD system compatible with Github actions workflow yaml syntax, action yaml syntax and most action plugins #13539

[delvh]

Offtopic, but: Actions are already implemented (coming with 1.19.0).
@lunny is simply talking about the further improvement.

[harryzcy]

• Sync issues, PRs, labels, milestones, comments from GitHub mirrors #20311

[wolfogre]

• More features and bug fixes on Gitea Actions.
• Take over: Add support to import repository data from an exported data of Github #18165
  • Delayed.

The same mine was hidden (and these ones will be hidden again).

It'll be awesome to improve time tracking (remove estimated spent time, improve interface). Also, to add issue time estimation, more info on https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/estimate-an-issue/#Concepts-about-estimation

These features and improvements are showcased in #23112

I hope that #20956 gets finally merged into 1.20.

I also plan to make existing PRs ready to merge. For new PRs I think I will do mostly minor stuff like new APIs.

I also plan to rework the Forks page. I had this Plan for quite a while since I have read a blogpost that talks about, how hard it is to find active Forks on GitHub. Since than, GitHub has made a new Forks Page, so I think it's time to do this also in Gitea, but I don't know if I get it ready before 1.20.

• Proposal: Pin Issues #2175

• Take over: Add support to import repository data from an exported data of Github #18165

It looks like we might be able to mirror the live event stream off the webhook events and translate into federated events for what is effectively an "online clone", some sketch work on the CI/CD front follows (translation flow is in the linked OpenSSF Metrics use case). This would of course be after the initial pull import but wanted to paste here for sake of propagating aligned discussion.

GitHub Webhook -> Forge Federation could enable users to more seamlessly migrate as they could maintain state both places after initial migration while they switch over.

Leveraging setting a URL within either security.txt/md as an AcitivtyPub Actor enables rebroadcast and mapping of repos to their event streams in a way agnostic to hosting provider (in file). This is all very WIP right now.
