* [Scoped access tokens](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/de484e86bc)
#### [Support scoped access tokens](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/de484e86bc)
Forgejo access token, used with the [API](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.19/admin/api-usage/) can now have a "scope" that limits what it can access. 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**.

[API](https://forgejo.org/docs/admin/api-usage/) can now have a
"scope" that limits what it can access. 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.
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.
However, **newly created token that do not specify a scope will now only
have read-only access to public user profile and public repositories**.
[Read more about the scoped tokens](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.19/user/oauth2-provider/#scoped-tokens).
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.
* [Disable all units except code and pulls on forks](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/2741546be)
[Read more about the scoped tokens](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.19/user/oauth2-provider/#scoped-tokens).
When forking a repository, the fork will now have issues, projects, releases, packages and wiki disabled. These can be enabled in the repository settings afterwards. To change back to the previous default behavior, configure `DEFAULT_FORK_REPO_UNITS` to be the same value as `DEFAULT_REPO_UNITS`.
#### [Repositories: by default disable all units except code and pulls on forks](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/2741546be)
* [Remove ONLY_SHOW_RELEVANT_REPOS setting](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/4d20a4a1b)

#### [Remove deprecated DSA host key from Docker Container](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/f17edfaf5a31ea3f4e9152424b75c2c4986acbe3)
The algorithm for validating user names was modified and some users may have invalid names. The command `forgejo doctor --run check-user-names` will list all of them so they can be renamed.

key algorithm, and recommend against its use. http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html
If a Forgejo instance has users or organizations named `forgejo-actions` and `gitea-actions`, they will also need to be renamed before the upgrade. They are now reserved names for the experimental internal CI/CD named `Actions`.

It is possible for a user to create as many fork as they want, even when a quota on the number of repositories is imposed. The new `ALLOW_FORK_WITHOUT_MAXIMUM_LIMIT` setting can now be set to `false` so forks are prohibited if that means exceeding the quota.

* [Support org/user level projects](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/6fe3c8b39)
It is now possible to create projects (kanban boards) for an organization or a user, in the same way it was possible for an individual repository.
Forgejo webhooks can be configured to send an [authorization header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Authorization) to the target.
* [Map OIDC groups to Orgs/Teams](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/e8186f1c0)
When a user logs in Forgejo using an provider such as [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/), they can now automatically be part of a Forgejo team, depending on the OIDC group they belong to. For instance:
[Read more about the webhook authorization header](https://forgejo.codeberg.page/docs/v1.19/user/webhooks/#authorization-header)
```json
{"Developer": {"MyForgejoOrganization": ["MyForgejoTeam1", "MyForgejoTeam2"]}}
```
#### [Incoming emails](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/fc037b4b825f0501a1489e10d7c822435d825cb7)
Means that the user who is in the OIDC group `Developer` will automatically be a member of the `MyForgejoTeam1` and `MyForgejoTeam2` teams in the `MyForgejoOrganization` organization.
This mapping is set when adding a new `Authentication Source` in the `Site Administration` panel.
You can now set up Forgejo to receive incoming email. When enabled, it is now possible to reply to an email notification from Forgejo and:

When a user logs in Forgejo using an provider such as [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/), they can now automatically be part of a Forgejo team, depending on the OIDC group they belong to. For instance:
It appears for the first time in this Forgejo release but is not yet fit for production. It is not fully implemented and may be insecure. However, as long as it is not enabled, it presents no risk to existing Forgejo instances.
```json
{"Developer": {"MyForgejoOrganization": ["MyForgejoTeam1", "MyForgejoTeam2"]}}
```
If a repository has a file such as `.forgejo/workflows/test.yml`, it will be interpreted, for instance to run tests and verify the code in the repository works as expected (Continuous Integration). It can also be used to create HTML pages for a website and publish them (Continous Deployment). The syntax is similar to GitHub Actions and the jobs can be controled from the Forgejo web interface.
Means that the user who is in the OIDC group `Developer` will automatically be a member of the `MyForgejoTeam1` and `MyForgejoTeam2` teams in the `MyForgejoOrganization` organization.
