As of Forgejo 8.0.1 the release notes were only available in the description of the corresponding milestone which is problematic for: - searching - safekeeping The release-notes-published directory is created to remedy those problems: - a copy of all those release notes from the milestones descriptions is added. - a reference is added to the RELEASE-NOTES.md file which will no longer be used. - a symbolic link to the RELEASE-NOTES.md is added for completeness. - the release process will be updated to populate release-notes-published. The RELEASE-NOTES.md file is kept where it is because it is referenced by a number of URLs. The release-notes directory would have been a better name but it is already used for in flight release notes waiting for the next release. Renaming this directory or changing it is rather involved.

Release notes
- Security bug fixes
- PR (backported): Forgejo generates a token which is used to authenticate web endpoints that are only meant to be used internally, for instance when the SSH daemon is used to push a commit with Git. The verification of this token was not done in constant time and was susceptible to timing attacks. A pre-condition for such an attack is the precise measurements of the time for each operation. Since it requires observing the timing of network operations, the issue is mitigated when a Forgejo instance is accessed over the internet because the ISP introduce unpredictable random delays.
- PR (backported): Because of a missing permission check, the branch used to propose a pull request to a repository can always be deleted by the user performing the merge. It was fixed so that such a deletion is only allowed if the user performing the merge has write permission to the repository from which the pull request was made.
- Localization
- PR (backported): Translation backports to v7
- Included for completeness but not worth a release note
