Gitea v1.26.0 released on 18-04-2026
Gitea v1.26.0 is out now. It includes several breaking API and configuration changes alongside security hardening, plus a broad set of Actions, UX and performance improvements.
See the full release notes on Gitea’s GitHub releases page for detailed information and upgrade guidance. Instances on Gitea Cloud will be automatically upgraded to this version during the scheduled maintenance window.
What’s in this release
- Corrected Swagger annotations for enums, status codes and notification state (breaking change to API specifications).
- Removal of the GET API registration-token (breaking) — callers relying on that endpoint must be updated.
- Security and Actions improvements: PageSize is now bounded in ListUnadoptedRepositories to prevent abuse, plus major Actions work including support for the Actions
concurrencysyntax, workflow dependencies visualisation, rerun-failed-job buttons and new rerun API endpoints, and per-runner disable/pause controls.
Upgrade notes
- Audit integrations and API clients for the corrected Swagger annotations and the removed registration-token endpoint; update any callers relying on the removed GET registration-token and review PUBLIC_URL_DETECTION (now defaults to “auto”, with a new “never” option) in your deployment configuration.
- If a rollback is required, follow your deployment’s rollback procedure and test upgrades on a staging instance first. Note that Gitea Cloud instances will be upgraded automatically during the scheduled maintenance window.
