Hi everyone, I just got a notification (yesterday) in which a new version of gitea was released (v28.0.0). However, right before upgrading I noticed that this version is not in line with what has been used until recently (v1.27.3). Am I missing something? Is this “abrupt” change planned? Should I just go and update from 1.27.3 to 28.0? Thanks in advance for a reply. ---

> **[Gitea 28.0.0 is released](https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-28.0.0/)** > > We are thrilled to announce the latest release of Gitea v28.0.0 . Gitea drops the historical 1. prefix from its version numbers, so this release is 28.0.0 rather than 1.28.0. Highlights include audit logging, bot accounts, HTTPS deploy tokens, user... I have the same problem before upgrade and the changelog tell you everything about that. ---

Strange. I have a habit of always reading the release notes but somehow did not see this line. Thanks a lot for the info!
