  1#+title: gitbay changelog
  2
  3Versioning follows semver from v0.1.0. Database migrations run
  4automatically on daemon start; upgrade notes appear per release when
  5anything beyond "replace the binary and restart" is needed.
  6
  7* v0.5.0 — 2026-08-26
  8
  9A design pass and a parity pass. The web stops being a read-only
 10mirror of the CLI without becoming the place you are expected to work.
 11
 12- New design: a black shell with a persistent left rail carrying
 13  cross-repo state (pinned repos, review queue), the repo header
 14  rendered identically on every tab so navigation never moves, sharp
 15  lines, self-hosted IBM Plex, and code blocks that read against both
 16  color schemes. Tree listings sort directories first and carry each
 17  file's last commit; diffs, inputs and controls were reworked to
 18  match.
 19- Web parity with the CLI, dispatched through the same command
 20  registry the CLI and JSON API use — every web write is the
 21  equivalent =gitbay= command with =--source web=:
 22  - merge requests: review, resolve threads, merge, close, and open a
 23    new MR from the browser
 24  - issues: state, labels, assignees, milestones
 25  - repositories: settings, branch protection, visibility
 26  - releases: create and edit; builds: trigger a job
 27  Commands marked SSH-only still refuse over the web: build secrets,
 28  mirror tokens, domain claims, token minting, deletion and transfer.
 29- A dashboard that answers "what needs me": review queue, assigned
 30  issues, pinned repos, and an activity feed. Author names resolve to
 31  accounts and link to profiles wherever commits appear.
 32- Build status badges at =/{owner}/{repo}/badge/build.svg= for public
 33  repos.
 34- =[web] title= sets the instance's display name, separate from the
 35  hostname commands are pasted with.
 36- =make build/test/deploy= targets.
 37- Fixes: the mobile tab strip scrolls sideways only, long commit
 38  subjects no longer overflow on narrow screens, the shell fills the
 39  viewport with the line-length cap moved onto prose, and the account
 40  cell lines up with the page footer.
 41
 42No migrations. New config: =[web] title=.
 43
 44* v0.4.0 — 2026-08-25
 45
 46- Git LFS: standard clients work over both transports.
 47  =git-lfs-authenticate= joins the SSH dispatcher (deploy keys
 48  included; download needs read, upload write), minting stateless
 49  repo- and operation-scoped tokens for the batch API and basic
 50  transfers. Anonymous HTTPS downloads for public repos; uploads
 51  verified against size and sha256 before landing. Storage is
 52  content-addressed under =[lfs] root= behind a small interface an
 53  S3-compatible backend can drop into; =[lfs] max_object_bytes= caps
 54  objects (512MB default).
 55- Build failures mail the repo's notify targets with the log tail and
 56  build link — failed scheduled jobs reach an inbox.
 57- =release edit= updates a release's title and notes (absent flags
 58  keep their field); omaha-style CI note rebuilds work again.
 59- Syntax highlighting follows the color scheme: class-based chroma
 60  with light and dark palettes, the light-pinned code background is
 61  gone, and markdown fences and org src blocks highlight too. The UGC
 62  sanitizer admits only chroma's token-code classes.
 63
 64No migrations. New config: =[lfs] root=, =[lfs] max_object_bytes=.
 65
 66* v0.3.0 — 2026-08-25
 67
 68- CI: =.gitbay/ci.yml= jobs run as builds claimed by =gitbay-runner=
 69  over SSH (admin-only runner protocol; statuses feed =require-checks=).
 70  Per-repo secrets set over stdin and injected into build environments;
 71  cron schedules (server-local time) and tag-glob triggers, mutually
 72  exclusive per job; =build list/show/log/trigger= and a builds tab.
 73- Pages: public repos' =pages= branches served on =<owner>.<domain>=
 74  (=[pages] domain=), custom domains with DNS TXT ownership challenges
 75  and 7-day expiry for pending claims, per-subdomain on-demand ACME.
 76- Wikis (=.wiki= companion repos, access mirrors the parent) and teams
 77  within orgs (members-role scoping, per-repo team grants).
 78- Activity graphs on user and org pages, backfillable
 79  (=admin backfill-activity=); commits attributed by verified author
 80  email, deduped by sha.
 81- MR pages list the commits the MR carries; =mr show= gains a commits
 82  section.
 83- Per-file history: =?path== on the web log, =--path= on =repo log=,
 84  history link on blob pages.
 85- Mirror status surfaced in =repo show= and the repo header
 86  (admin-only), with sync errors visible; tag-only pushes now schedule
 87  mirror syncs.
 88- Rendering: GFM tables/strikethrough/autolinks/task lists, blob image
 89  previews, raw serves images with real content types (README images
 90  render under nosniff), 0BSD license recognition, repo website links,
 91  compact dashboard pins.
 92- =admin user delete= for accounts that anchor nothing, with named
 93  blockers otherwise.
 94- Fixes: wiki pages no longer overflow on mobile (iOS font-inflation
 95  trigger), GHSA-free deps, secret values pipe correctly through the
 96  CLI.
 97
 98Migrations 0020-0025 apply on start. New config: =[pages] domain=.
 99The runner is a new binary (=gitbay-runner=); see the wiki's Admin
100guide for setup. Stress-tested against an import of git.git (82k
101commits): see the wiki's Performance page.
102
103* v0.2.0 — 2026-08-24
104
105- Deploy keys: repo-bound CI keys (=repo deploy-key=), ro/rw, rename- and
106  transfer-proof.
107- Commit statuses (=status set/list=), combined state on MR pages, and a
108  =require-checks= merge gate.
109- Email notifications for issue and MR activity (participants with
110  verified addresses; never the actor).
111- Inline review threads on MR diffs (=mr diff-comment/threads/resolve=),
112  stale on force-push, =require-resolved= merge gate.
113- Required approvals with CODEOWNERS (=require-approvals=; latest review
114  wins, author excluded) and a =require-resolved= gate; merge gate order
115  is checks → approvals → CODEOWNERS → resolved threads → signatures.
116- Web design revamp: token-based stylesheet (light+dark), wordmark and
117  favicon, aligned layout grid, card-based listings, designed 404,
118  mobile pass.
119- Cross-references and mentions: =#N=, =!N=, =owner/name#N=, =@user=
120  autolink in issue/MR text, viewer-aware for private repos.
121- Archived repositories (read-only with badge) and repo topics.
122- Blame view with signature-aware attribution and 1000-line pages.
123- Repository search (name/description/topic) and per-repo code search
124  (=repo grep=, web search tab); blob line anchors.
125- Homepage: dashboard for logged-in users (pinned repos via =repo pin=,
126  open MRs and issues involving you), landing page for visitors, full
127  public listing at =/explore=; MR diffs collapsed by default.
128- Milestones (=milestone create/list/close=, =issue/mr milestone=) with
129  web progress; issue templates from =.gitbay/issue-template*.md=
130  (CLI =$EDITOR= prefill and web form).
131- Issue actions from commit messages landing on the default branch:
132  =closes/fixes/resolves #N= closes, bare =#N= leaves a reference
133  comment; once per issue+commit.
134- Vanity Go imports: =[go_import]= config serves go-import meta tags, so
135  =go install gitbay.org/gitbay/cmd/...@latest= works.
136- Release script: =deploy/release.sh <tag>= builds reproducible
137  linux/amd64, linux/arm64, and darwin/arm64 binaries with SHA256SUMS.
138- Repository maintenance: =admin gc= (repack/prune, per-repo sizes),
139  =admin stats= (counts + disk usage), weekly =gitbay-gc.timer=.
140- Releases: tag-anchored notes and binary assets (=release= commands,
141  assets over SSH stdin/stdout, web releases tab with downloads).
142- GitHub history import: =repo import-issues= brings issues and PRs
143  (as merged/closed MRs) with comments, labels, and state, attributed
144  inline and resumable.
145- Push and pull mirroring (=repo mirror=): background sync, read-only
146  pull mirrors, per-mirror status; credentials server-side, SSRF-guarded.
147- Web signup at =/register= for open and invite instances.
148- Audit log (=audit=, =gitbayd admin audit=): every mutating command
149  with source key fingerprint, registrations, force-pushes, auth
150  failures. Hardening: per-IP auth-failure throttling
151  (=ssh_auth_rate=), =max_pack_bytes= enforced, =admin user
152  disable/enable=.
153- Account migration: =gitbay migrate --from <host>= (bundle
154  export/replay + client-side git mirror); =gitbay auth export= as a
155  user-level backup.
156- Editable issues and MRs (=issue edit=, =mr edit=, web forms).
157- Commit references appear as system messages with linked shas.
158- Design: top nav, repo listing rows (topics, license, last updated),
159  file table headers, README relative-link resolution, branch
160  dropdown, web pinning, org owner picker, label filters, linked
161  usernames and commit parents, =/privacy= page, blue accent.
162
163Upgrade notes: migrations 0006–0019 apply on start. No config changes
164required; =[go_import]=, =[mirrors]=, =web.privacy_notice=, and
165=web.mode = "accounts"= are opt-in.
166
