What you need to know about backwards compatibility
Understanding the Gogs release strategy helps you plan upgrades safely and avoid breaking changes.
Semantic versioning
Starting with version 0.12.0, Gogs follows semantic versioning. Version numbers use the format MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH:
| Version | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
0.12.0 |
Minor release | Introduces new features or breaking changes within 0.x |
0.12.1 |
Patch release | First bug-fix release for the 0.12 series |
0.12 |
Release series | Refers collectively to 0.12.0, 0.12.1, 0.12.2, etc. |
Each minor release has its own release branch with the prefix release/. For example, release/0.12 is the branch for version 0.12.0 and all of its patch releases (0.12.1, 0.12.2, and so on).
Backwards compatibility
Upgrading from versions before 0.12
If you are running any version of Gogs below 0.12, you must first upgrade to 0.12 before upgrading further. This version includes essential database migrations that later versions depend on.
Upgrading from 0.12 and later
Gogs maintains backwards compatibility across one minor version at a time. Patch release numbers are disregarded when determining compatibility.
Supported upgrade paths:
| From | To | Supported |
|---|---|---|
0.12.0 |
0.13.0 |
Yes |
0.12.1 |
0.13.4 |
Yes |
0.12.4 |
0.14.0 |
No -- skips a minor version |
Always upgrade one minor version at a time. For example, to go from 0.12 to 0.14, first upgrade to 0.13, verify everything works, and then upgrade to 0.14.
Source build update frequency
Running Gogs from a source build is no longer recommended. If you want to stay current with the latest commit, use the per-commit binary release instead: every push to main publishes updated binaries to the latest-commit-build release on GitHub.
If you still run Gogs from a source build, update at least once per week. This prevents you from falling behind and potentially missing incremental database migrations that cannot be applied out of order.
