 The Forgejo admin should carefully read the required manual actions before upgrading. A point release (e.g. v1.20.1-0 or v1.20.2-0) does not require manual actions but others might (e.g. v1.19, v1.20).

+
+The [complete list of commits](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commits/branch/v1.20/forgejo) included in the `Forgejo v1.20.3-0` release can be reviewed from the command line with:
+

+```
+
+This stable release includes bug fixes and a safeguard against a
+regression that may lead to data loss. The `[storage*]` sections in the
+`app.ini` file may cause the files for some subsystems - Attachments,
+LFS, Avatars, Repository avatars, Repository archives, Packages - to
+be merged together or misplaced.  The safeguard detects this situation
+and Forgejo will not start to prevent data loss. If your instance is in
+this situation, [follow the instructions in the companion blog post](https://forgejo.org/2023-08-release-v1-20-3-0/).

 The [complete list of commits](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commits/branch/v1.20/forgejo) included in the `Forgejo v1.20.2-0` release can be reviewed from the command line with:

    breaking change because **it will display the .profile/README.md of a pre-existing repository, private or not**.
  - The [API endpoint pagination](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/0a3c4d4a595cc7e12462dde393ed64186260f26b) for team members was fixed: it now starts at 1 instead of 0, just like all other paginated API endpoints.
  - The `SSH_KEYGEN_PATH` variable in `app.ini` now defaults to using the [Go SSH key parsing instead of the `ssh-keygen` binary](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/7a8a4f54321f208ebbb0f708a5f0e49c4cd4cc04). When `START_SSH_SERVER` is true, the decision to use the Go SSH key parsing or an external binary will now depend on the value of `SSH_KEYGEN_PATH` instead of always using the Go SSH key parsing.
-  - The [storage settings](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/d6dd6d641b593c54fe1a1041c153111ce81dbc20) were refactored.
-    They are now stored in one section. It is no longer possible to use multiple sections to override settings.
-    The storage settings priority is:
-    1. `[attachment]`
-    2. `[storage.attachments]` | `[storage.<another>]`
-    3. `[storage]`
-    4. `default`
-    For extra override configuration items, currently only are `SERVE_DIRECT`, `MINIO_BASE_PATH`, `MINIO_BUCKET`, which could be configured in another section.
-    The priority of the override configuration is `[attachment]` > `[storage.attachments]` > `default`.
+  - The storage settings were [refactored](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/d6dd6d641b593c54fe1a1041c153111ce81dbc20). Read more about [storage settings](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.20/admin/storage/).
  - [The [repository.editor] PREVIEWABLE_FILE_MODES setting was removed](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/84daddc2fa74393cdc13371b0cc44f0444cfdae0). This setting served no practical purpose and was not working correctly. Instead a preview tab is always shown in the file editor when supported.
  - In addition to the already deprecated options inside [queue], many options have been dropped as well. Those are WRAP_IF_NECESSARY, MAX_ATTEMPTS, TIMEOUT, WORKERS, BLOCK_TIMEOUT, BOOST_TIMEOUT, BOOST_WORKERS. You can remove them from your app.ini now. Additionally, some default values have changed in this section.
  - The default CSS and templates included in Forgejo were heavily refactored and a large number of variables renamed. These changes are not documented and there is a very high chance that a tempate extracted and modified for a particular Forgejo instance will no longer work as it did. Browsing through the git history of the template in the sources is the best way to figure out how and why it was modified.
