We have created the release/v1.23 branch accompanied by the v1.24.0-dev tag and are now using main for 1.24 development.
As always, this issue is intended to show what you can expect from the next version.

Schedule

Gitea 1.24 is currently set to enter feature freeze on 2025-04-01 23:59 UTC, and released on 2025-04-25 23:59 UTC
This deadline is at the moment only a rough estimate and might change in the future.

I'll start with my plan:

• Automating the release process as much as possible.
  My goal is that periodically (most likely every 4 months so that we have three releases per year) on a certain date, a release job runs that uses the current state of main, and releases it as is as the next full version. Our only remaining job will then be preparing the blog post in advance.
