Existing tokens stored in the database and created before Forgejo v1.19 had unlimited access. For backward compatibility, their access will remain the same and they will continue to work as before. However, **newly created token that do not specify a scope will now only have read-only access to public user profile and public repositories**. + + For instance, the `/users/{username}/tokens` API endpoint will require the `scopes: ['all', 'sudo']` parameter and the `forgejo admin user generate-access-token` will require the `--scopes all,sudo` argument obtain tokens with ulimited access as before for admin users. + + [Read more about the scoped tokens](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.19/user/oauth2-provider/#scoped-tokens). + + * [Disable all units except code and pulls on forks](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/2741546be) + + When forking a repository, the fork will now have issues, projects, releases, packages and wiki disabled.
