About Gogs
Gogs inches toward v0.14.x with release candidates while CI builds clutter the release feed
Gogs is working toward v0.14.x with two release candidates across a seven-month window, but the release feed also shows automated CI artifacts (a rolling 'latest commit build' and an 'archive testing' release) that are not user-facing releases. The actual development pace is low — no GA release is visible in the recent catalog, and the project has been in this slow-release pattern for some time.
