Gitea 28.0.0 drops the 1. prefix and adds audit logging, bot accounts, and more
Gitea 28.0.0 Is Released

Gitea v28.0.0 is out, and it drops the historical 1. prefix from version numbers. This release brings audit logging, bot accounts, HTTPS deploy tokens, admin impersonation, code-owner approval rules, diff file filters, and an Actions queue view. It also includes security fixes and breaking changes: Git network operations now use an internal proxy with new egress rules, self-registration is off by default, and completed Actions runs are deleted after 400 days. Upgrade carefully.
We are thrilled to announce the latest release of Gitea v28.0.0. Gitea drops the historical 1. prefix from its version numbers, so this release is 28.0.0 rather than 1.28.0.

Remember, if all you need is a git remote to push to somewhere via ssh, `git init --bare` on your server should be available and is solid if you don't need a web interface. Now you've got something you can push to on a shared server.
Unless you really also want a web interface, issue tracking, et. al. Then, use any of these fine tools. Go wild!

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

> 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.

Why does Gitea uses (hosts on etc.) Github and not on Gitea.
