Gitea v1.26.1 released on 24-04-2026
Gitea v1.26.1 is out now. Self-hosters and CI users receive a collection of reliability and correctness fixes for Actions and workflows, along with fixes across authentication, package/container handling, Git index and archive handling, and UI/permissions edge cases.
See the release on the Gitea GitHub for the full changelog and detailed notes.
What’s in this release
- Actions & workflows: add event.schedule context for scheduled workflow tasks, fix actions concurrency-group cross-branch leaks, and return TriggerEvent (not Event) for scheduled workflow runs in the API; GetActionWorkflow now supports fallback references.
- Authentication, container and packages: correct URL escaping for OAuth2 flows, fix container registry authentication on public instances, and fall back to the noarch RPM when the requested architecture package is missing.
- Git, archives and UI: use modern git update-index –cacheinfo syntax to support more file names, fix dumps producing uncompressed zip archives by default, resolve Mermaid diagram rendering when node labels contain line breaks, and several fixes for org/team permissions, badges, AppFullLink and editor layout.
Upgrade notes
- The workflow runs API now returns TriggerEvent for scheduled runs; update integrations that expect an Event field to consume TriggerEvent instead.
- Standard rollback applies: if needed, reinstall the previous release available from the Gitea GitHub releases page.
