We proudly present the minor release of Gitea version 1.7.1. **This release contains some security fixes so it is highly recommended to update to latest release.** We have merged 15 pull requests to release this version and built gitea with go1.11.5 to fix [a golang bug](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.11.5+label%3ACherryPickApproved). You can download one of our pre-built binaries from our [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.7.1/), you just need to select the correct platform. For further details of the installation follow our [installation guide](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-binary/). * * * This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at [https://blog.gitea.io/2019/02/release-of-1.7.1/](https://blog.gitea.io/2019/02/release-of-1.7.1/) ---

Just updated to 1.7.1, thank you! But a couple of questions: - The bottom right corner of my Gitea home page still says “Go1.11.1”, not 1.11.5. A missed string update or has this not actually been compiled with 1.11.5? - I often seem to find out about Gitea updates by accident. What options are there to get notification? Seems to rely on me getting an email from [discorse.gitea.io](http://discorse.gitea.io) right now. EDIT: to add that Admin section says: 1.7.1 built with go1.11.1 : bindata, sqlite, sqlite\_unlock\_notify ---

Github supports a /latest linked to most current stable release which allows me to write a download script that I run with cron job for updates. > **[go-gitea/gitea](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v1.11.5)** > > Git with a cup of tea, painless self-hosted git service - go-gitea/gitea Since you duplicate your releases there no problem I can use my automated update script (here is my hugo version, [https://download.kebler.net/hugo-update](https://download.kebler.net/hugo-update)) but for those not using github I suggest you do the same a your dl site. e.g. [https://dl.gitea.io/latest](https://dl.gitea.io/latest) or [https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/latest](https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/latest) ---

@adrinux Sadly while the docker image got the update, the cross-compiler used didn’t update to latest version of go, this was something that we mised. I forked the cross compiler, updated to latest version of go, and created a PR which was just merged, and will be resolved with 1.7.2 and 1.8.0. As for updates of new versions, the blog has an RSS feed [https://blog.gitea.io/index.xml](https://blog.gitea.io/index.xml) that can be used with any feed reader, Github also has an RSS feed for releases [https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases.atom](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases.atom) we send an email to our backers on opencollective [https://opencollective.com/gitea](https://opencollective.com/gitea) and finally we have an announcment channel in discord [https://discord.gg/gitea](https://discord.gg/gitea) ---

WRT feed consumption Winter et al. basically broke the value of web feeds 10ish years ago with bickering as Harvard gained copyrights. Nevertheless asking people to use feeds I feel is a good idea so this important syndication format isn’t forgotten to social media. RSS with Dublin Core is a powerful thing. Here’s a Golang command line RSS reader under Gitea source control for those interested: [https://git.dtluna.net/dtluna/gorgeous](https://git.dtluna.net/dtluna/gorgeous)
