Gitea vs Infisical: at a glance
What is Gitea?
Gitea has switched to version 28 numbering; its feed has caught only the dev tags.
Gitea's feed captures release candidates and development tags, not final releases. The newest entry is a v29.0.0-dev tag on September 29 that adds the changelog for 28.0.0, which means Gitea has switched from 1.x numbering to major versions. Before that the visible entries were 1.26.0-rc0 in April, with Actions concurrency and a Terraform state registry, and 1.27.0-rc0 in June, with owner-level and global workflows and access-control fixes.
What is Infisical?
Infisical is shipping weekly, with batched secret edits and an agent credential vault as the real threads.
Infisical tags a release every few days. Most of the volume is UI cleanup, but two features run through it: batched secret and folder changes in the Secrets Overview, now always on, and Agent Vault, which manages credentials and proxies for AI agents. Code signing gained support for existing DigiCert certificates held in an HSM.

Gitea
0.0INFRA · APIS
Gitea has switched to version 28 numbering; its feed has caught only the dev tags.
◆ Current state
Gitea's feed captures release candidates and development tags, not final releases. The newest entry is a v29.0.0-dev tag on September 29 that adds the changelog for 28.0.0, which means Gitea has switched from 1.x numbering to major versions. Before that the visible entries were 1.26.0-rc0 in April, with Actions concurrency and a Terraform state registry, and 1.27.0-rc0 in June, with owner-level and global workflows and access-control fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
Actions has been the main area of change across the 1.26 and 1.27 candidates, with reusable and scoped workflows, alongside repeated access-control fixes. The move to 28.0.0 numbering marks a new release scheme, but the feed has not captured its releases.
◆ Prediction
The feed is likely to keep showing dev tags rather than finals; the next visible entry may be a v29 release candidate.
Infisical
5.0INFRA · APIS
Infisical is shipping weekly, with batched secret edits and an agent credential vault as the real threads.
◆ Current state
Infisical tags a release every few days. Most of the volume is UI cleanup, but two features run through it: batched secret and folder changes in the Secrets Overview, now always on, and Agent Vault, which manages credentials and proxies for AI agents. Code signing gained support for existing DigiCert certificates held in an HSM.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is widening from a secrets store into a broader machine-identity platform: certificates, code signing, secret scanning and credentials handed to AI agents. Frontend work is consolidating the UI and removing legacy dependencies.
◆ Prediction
Agent Vault looks like the next feature to graduate; expect more releases around agent credential handling and proxy tokens.
