Forgejo holds v11.0.x maintenance cadence with monthly patch releases

git-hostingself-hostedopen-sourcepatch-releasescalver
◆Current state
Forgejo is in active maintenance mode on the v11.0 branch, shipping monthly security and bug-fix patches at a consistent cadence. The project made a significant versioning shift from v1.x to v11.x, likely adopting year-based CalVer. Six consecutive v11.0.x releases from January to July 2026 confirm a stable, actively-maintained project. Entries link to external release notes rather than embedding content, limiting visibility into specific changes.
◆Where it's heading
Without access to embedded release note content, it is unclear whether capability expansion is happening alongside the maintenance cycle. The consistent monthly cadence and unbroken patch series through v11.0.16 suggest a project focused on stability and security over feature addition. A v11.1.x or v12.x branch would be the natural signal that new capabilities are on the agenda.
◆Prediction
Next likely move is v11.0.17 or the opening of a v11.1.x feature branch. If the year-based versioning holds, a v12.x release could appear in early 2027.
