  Although they can be extracted and modified, Forgejo does not provide any guarantee that such changes
  will be portable from one version to another (even a patch version).
-  - [Restrict certificate type for builtin SSH server](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/1172). This is a breaking change for setups where the builtin SSH server is being used and for some reason host certificates were being used for authentication.
  - [Some Forgejo CLI options have changed](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/d0dbe52e76f3038777c3b50066e3636105387ca3) and scripts may need to be updated. For instance `--verbose` is no longer a global option and is implemented on a per sub-command basis. Check `forgejo --help` or `forgejo docs` for more information.
-  - [Remove "CHARSET" config option for MySQL and always use "utf8mb4"](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/ce46834b938eb687152a680669ada95a26304178). It has been a requirement for years and specifying anything else is likely to cause issues.

It has been a requirement for years and specifying anything else is likely to cause issues. Existing MySQL databases still using `utf8` can be converted using the CLI: `forgejo doctor convert`.

  - [Set SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEYS_BACKUP to false by default](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/469d89b95a1ce18dd34808a95c7230375e828e24). There is no automatic cleanup of these backups and can end up using a significant amount of disk space over time.

+  - [Add](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/0d55f64e6cd3de2e1e5c0ee795605823efb14231) support for [recurring actions similar to cron jobs](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.21/user/actions/#onschedule).
+  - [Add](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/19872063a3c14256a1d89b2a104d63e7538a3a28) the possibility to [disable workflows from the user interface](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.21/user/actions/#the-list-of-tasks-in-a-repository).

+  - [Add](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/48e5a74f215d78813a816c57fc5a85a909a003d5) support for the [`pull_request_target` event](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.21/user/actions/#onpull_request_target) which has access to secrets because it runs using the workflows from the base branch instead of the pull request.
+  - [Add](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/8228751c55d6a4263f0fec2932ca16181c09c97d) support for reading labels from the runner [instead of specifying them during registration](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.21/admin/actions/#registration).
