- **Breaking:**
Note that the modifications related to CSS, templates or assets (images, fonts, etc.) are not documented here.
Although they can be extracted and modified, Forgejo does not provide any guarantee that such changes
will be portable from one version to another (even a patch version). Read more [about interface customization](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.21/developer/customization/).
will be portable from one version to another (even a patch version). A [Q&A discussion is available](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/discussions/issues/84)
to share tips and tricks. A new section was also added
[to the developer documentation about interface customization](https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.21/developer/customization/).
- Git [branches are stored in the databases](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/6e19484f4d3bf372212f2da462110a1a8c10cbf2) to reduce the calls to a git process and improve performances. After upgrading, login as an admin, go to the `/admin` page and click run **Sync missed branches from git data to databases**. If this is not done there will be messages such as `LoadBranches: branch does not exist` in the logs.
- [Some Forgejo CLI options have changed](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/d0dbe52e76f3038777c3b50066e3636105387ca3) and scripts may need to be updated. For instance `--verbose` is no longer a global option and is implemented on a per sub-command basis. Check `forgejo --help` or `forgejo docs` for more information.
- [Remove "CHARSET" config option for MySQL and always use "utf8mb4"](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commit/ce46834b938eb687152a680669ada95a26304178). It has been a requirement for years and specifying anything else is likely to cause issues. Existing MySQL databases still using `utf8` can be converted using the CLI: `forgejo doctor convert`.
