Gitea 1.27.0 is released

We are thrilled to announce the latest release of Gitea v1.27.0.

Gitea 1.27.0 brings exciting new features, performance improvements, and quality-of-life enhancements. It also ships a large number of security fixes, so we strongly recommend upgrading as soon as possible — see the Security section for details. Here are some notable changes and features in Gitea 1.27; for the full list, refer to the full release notes.

We are very thankful for the many people who have contributed to the project by sending code patches, reporting issues, translating, and supporting us in many other ways.

Pair Gitea 1.27 with Gitea Runner 2.0.0

Several Actions features in this release negotiate a capability with the runner. To get job summaries, the transitional Cancelling job state, and correct continue-on-error aggregation, upgrade your runners to Gitea Runner 2.0.0. Gitea stays wire-compatible with older runners — it simply skips the feature when the runner does not advertise support. Highlights that need the new runner are marked with 🔧 Requires Gitea Runner 2.0.0 below.

Major Breaking Changes

⚠️ Move release artifact signing to sigstore (#38250)

Gitea release artifacts are now signed with sigstore instead of the previous GPG flow. If you verify downloaded binaries or Docker images as part of your deployment pipeline, update your verification step to the sigstore-based process.

Thank you to @TheFox0x7 for contributing this change.

⚠️ Improve support for reusable workflows (#37478)

Reusable workflows referenced with uses: are now parsed on the Gitea side rather than on the runner. Each called (child) job is inserted as its own ActionRunJob and dispatched as an independent task, so callee logs surface as separate job entries instead of being inlined into the caller's "Set up job" step. Review workflows that rely on reusable-workflow behavior after upgrading.

External reusable workflows (uses: https://other-gitea-instance/OWNER/REPO/.gitea/workflows/test.yaml@REF) are no longer supported. To keep using them, clone the repositories to the local instance and reference them there.

Thank you to @Zettat123 for contributing this change.

⚠️ Use a Content-Security-Policy script nonce (#37232)

Inline scripts are now allowed via a per-request CSP nonce instead of a broader policy. Custom templates, themes, or embeds that inject inline <script> tags may stop executing until they are updated to carry the nonce. Review custom front-end customizations after upgrading.

Thank you to @wxiaoguang for contributing this change.

⚠️ X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is now sent by default (#37354)

All responses now include the X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header, which stops browsers from MIME-sniffing responses away from their declared Content-Type. If a reverse proxy, embed, or custom asset relied on content sniffing, set X_CONTENT_TYPE_OPTIONS = unset under [security] to remove the header, or override its value as needed.

Thank you to @SAY-5 for contributing this change.

Major Highlights (Actions)

🚀 Reusable workflows are now first-class jobs (#37478)

Workflows called with uses: are now resolved by Gitea itself instead of by the runner. Every called workflow is expanded into its own jobs, which are scheduled as independent tasks: they get their own entries in the run sidebar, their own logs, and their own nodes in the dependency graph, nested under the job that called them. Callee output is no longer inlined into the caller's "Set up job" step, so a failure inside a reusable workflow points straight at the job that failed. Nested calls (a reusable workflow calling another) work the same way, and outputs, inputs, and matrix jobs propagate across the boundary.

info

This changes existing behavior — see "Improve support for reusable workflows" under Major Breaking Changes. External reusable workflows referenced by URL (uses: https://other-instance/OWNER/REPO/...) are no longer supported.

Thank you to @Zettat123 for contributing this feature.

🚀 🔧 Job summaries — GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY (#37500)

Workflow steps can write Markdown to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, and Gitea renders it on the run Summary view. Summaries are stored in the database rather than as downloadable artifacts, and later polish makes the summary UI richer (#37824).

info

🔧 Requires Gitea Runner 2.0.0 to upload summaries. Gitea advertises the job-summary capability; with an older runner nothing is uploaded and the Summary view stays empty.

Thank you to @bircni for contributing this feature.

🚀 🔧 Implement jobs.<job_id>.continue-on-error (#38100)

continue-on-error was previously parsed from YAML but ignored when computing a run's overall status, so a tolerated job failure could still fail the whole run. Gitea now stores the value per job and treats an allowed failure as success when aggregating the workflow run, matching GitHub Actions.

info

🔧 Requires Gitea Runner 2.0.0 for the runner to allow the job to fail; Gitea 1.27 provides the run-status aggregation.

Thank you to @bircni for contributing this feature.

🚀 🔧 Run post/cleanup steps when a workflow is cancelled (#37275)

Cancelling a run now executes post-run cleanup and always() / cancelled() steps, using a transitional Cancelling job state before the job is finalized as cancelled.

info

🔧 Requires Gitea Runner 2.0.0 for the transitional Cancelling state and capability negotiation. With an older runner, cancellation still works but without the full server-side semantics.

Thank you to @KalashThakare, @bircni, and @Zettat123 for contributing this feature.

🚀 Owner-level and global scoped workflows (#38154)

Define workflows at the owner (org/user) level and instance-wide, so shared automation no longer has to be copied into every repository.

Thank you to @Zettat123 for contributing this feature.

🚀 Bulk delete, disable, and enable runners in the admin UI (#37869)

Manage many runners at once from the admin runner list instead of acting on them one by one.

Thank you to @bircni for contributing this feature.

🚀 Workflow status badge modal (#38196)

Grab the Markdown/HTML snippet for a workflow status badge from a modal in the Actions UI.

Thank you to @guanzi008 for contributing this feature.

🚀 Show run status on the browser tab favicon (#38071)

The run view reflects the current job status on the browser tab favicon (and sets a descriptive tab title, #37870), so you can watch a run from another tab.

Thank you to @bircni for contributing this feature.

🚀 List workflows that ran once but were removed from the default branch (#37835)

Historical workflows that no longer exist on the default branch remain listed, so their past runs stay discoverable.

Thank you to @bircni for contributing this feature.

Major Highlights (Code & Repositories)

🚀 Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) rendering (#37433)

Notebook files render as formatted output in the file view instead of raw JSON.

Thank you to @karthikbhandary2 for contributing this feature.

🚀 Allow multiple projects per issue and pull request (#36784)

Issues and pull requests can now belong to more than one project, and a new column picker lets you place them directly from the sidebar (#37037).

Thank you to @icyavocado and @myers for contributing these features.

🚀 Avatar stacks (#37594)

Overlapping avatar stacks give a compact view of the people involved (assignees, participants, and similar lists).

Thank you to @bircni for contributing this feature.

🚀 "Follow rename" in the file commit history (#34994)

The commit history list for a file can follow the file across renames, so history does not stop at the rename.

Thank you to @Chi-Iroh for contributing this feature.

🚀 Markdown fenced code blocks support more syntaxes (#37154)

More fenced code block languages/info strings are recognized for syntax highlighting.

Thank you to @wxiaoguang for contributing this improvement.

Major Highlights (Organizations & Teams)

🚀 Team visibility so org members can discover teams (#37680)

Teams can be made discoverable to organization members, making it easier to find and request access to the right team.

Thank you to @bircni for contributing this feature.

🚀 Search bar on the organization members tab (#37347)

Filter large member lists directly on the organization members page.

Thank you to @lunny for contributing this feature.

🚀 Split the repository creation limit into user and org scopes (#37872)

Repository creation limits can be set independently for personal accounts and organizations.

Thank you to @Zettat123 for contributing this feature.

Major Highlights (API)

🚀 Serve the OpenAPI 3.0 spec at /openapi.v1.json (#37038)

Gitea publishes an OpenAPI 3.0 description of its API for tooling and client generation.

Thank you to @myers for contributing this feature.

🚀 Token introspection and self-deletion endpoints (#37995)

New API endpoints introspect the current token and allow a token to delete itself.

Thank you to @TheFox0x7 for contributing this feature.

🚀 Assignees APIs (#37330)

Manage issue and pull request assignees over the API.

Thank you to @lunny for contributing this feature.

🚀 List workflow runs for a workflow (#37196)

GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/runs lists runs for a specific workflow.

Thank you to @bn-zr for contributing this feature.

🚀 Server-side branch filtering and raw diff/patch for comparisons (#37982) (#37632) (#38148)

The list-branches API gains a q filter, comparisons expose a raw diff/patch endpoint, and compare accepts ref suffixes.

Thank you to @HarshMN2345, @grafail, and @eyupcanakman for contributing these features.

Major Highlights (Others)

🚀 Custom URI schemes in OAuth2 redirect URIs (#37356)

OAuth2 applications can register redirect URIs with custom URI schemes, which native and desktop apps commonly need.

Thank you to @wxiaoguang for contributing this feature.

🚀 Auto-generate additional SSH host keys (#33974)

Gitea can generate additional SSH host keys automatically for the built-in SSH server.

Thank you to @TheFox0x7 for contributing this feature.

🚀 OpenSearch support and REST-based search client (#37411)

The olivere/elastic dependency is replaced with a REST API client, adding OpenSearch support alongside Elasticsearch.

Thank you to @silverwind for contributing this improvement.

🚀 Telegram Bot API 10.1 rich messages for webhooks (#38298)

The Telegram webhook uses the newer Bot API rich message format.

Thank you to @SudhanshuMatrix for contributing this feature.
