#+title: gitbay changelog

Versioning follows semver from v0.1.0. Database migrations run
automatically on daemon start; upgrade notes appear per release when
anything beyond "replace the binary and restart" is needed.

* v0.2.0 — 2026-08-24

- Deploy keys: repo-bound CI keys (=repo deploy-key=), ro/rw, rename- and
  transfer-proof.
- Commit statuses (=status set/list=), combined state on MR pages, and a
  =require-checks= merge gate.
- Email notifications for issue and MR activity (participants with
  verified addresses; never the actor).
- Inline review threads on MR diffs (=mr diff-comment/threads/resolve=),
  stale on force-push, =require-resolved= merge gate.
- Required approvals with CODEOWNERS (=require-approvals=; latest review
  wins, author excluded) and a =require-resolved= gate; merge gate order
  is checks → approvals → CODEOWNERS → resolved threads → signatures.
- Web design revamp: token-based stylesheet (light+dark), wordmark and
  favicon, aligned layout grid, card-based listings, designed 404,
  mobile pass.
- Cross-references and mentions: =#N=, =!N=, =owner/name#N=, =@user=
  autolink in issue/MR text, viewer-aware for private repos.
- Archived repositories (read-only with badge) and repo topics.
- Blame view with signature-aware attribution and 1000-line pages.
- Repository search (name/description/topic) and per-repo code search
  (=repo grep=, web search tab); blob line anchors.
- Homepage: dashboard for logged-in users (pinned repos via =repo pin=,
  open MRs and issues involving you), landing page for visitors, full
  public listing at =/explore=; MR diffs collapsed by default.
- Milestones (=milestone create/list/close=, =issue/mr milestone=) with
  web progress; issue templates from =.gitbay/issue-template*.md=
  (CLI =$EDITOR= prefill and web form).
- Issue actions from commit messages landing on the default branch:
  =closes/fixes/resolves #N= closes, bare =#N= leaves a reference
  comment; once per issue+commit.
- Vanity Go imports: =[go_import]= config serves go-import meta tags, so
  =go install gitbay.org/gitbay/cmd/...@latest= works.
- Release script: =deploy/release.sh <tag>= builds reproducible
  linux/amd64, linux/arm64, and darwin/arm64 binaries with SHA256SUMS.
- Repository maintenance: =admin gc= (repack/prune, per-repo sizes),
  =admin stats= (counts + disk usage), weekly =gitbay-gc.timer=.
- Releases: tag-anchored notes and binary assets (=release= commands,
  assets over SSH stdin/stdout, web releases tab with downloads).
- GitHub history import: =repo import-issues= brings issues and PRs
  (as merged/closed MRs) with comments, labels, and state, attributed
  inline and resumable.
- Push and pull mirroring (=repo mirror=): background sync, read-only
  pull mirrors, per-mirror status; credentials server-side, SSRF-guarded.
- Web signup at =/register= for open and invite instances.
- Audit log (=audit=, =gitbayd admin audit=): every mutating command
  with source key fingerprint, registrations, force-pushes, auth
  failures. Hardening: per-IP auth-failure throttling
  (=ssh_auth_rate=), =max_pack_bytes= enforced, =admin user
  disable/enable=.
- Account migration: =gitbay migrate --from <host>= (bundle
  export/replay + client-side git mirror); =gitbay auth export= as a
  user-level backup.
- Editable issues and MRs (=issue edit=, =mr edit=, web forms).
- Commit references appear as system messages with linked shas.
- Design: top nav, repo listing rows (topics, license, last updated),
  file table headers, README relative-link resolution, branch
  dropdown, web pinning, org owner picker, label filters, linked
  usernames and commit parents, =/privacy= page, blue accent.

Upgrade notes: migrations 0006–0019 apply on start. No config changes
required; =[go_import]=, =[mirrors]=, =web.privacy_notice=, and
=web.mode = "accounts"= are opt-in.
