I am excited to finally announce the release of Forge version 0.4.0, consisting of 699 commits since the last release two years ago. It was actually released six days ago, at the same time as Magit and nine other packages, which all had to be released at the same time.
To avoid getting myself into a similar situation again, I intend to release much more frequently going forward. So it is with delight, that I can report, that today I have already released version 0.4.1.
It is now easier to get started. The documentation about the initial setup should be much easier to follow now and the command used to track additional repositories, now better guides the user through the process and links to relevant documentation when necessary. Topic filtering took a huge leap forward and changing details about a topic got a lot more convenient as well.
If you previously hesitated to give Forge a try, or got stuck during initial setup, then now is a good time to jump in (again). Or if you have already been using Forge before, you might find that after these releases, you will have to fall back to the web interfaces less and less frequently. That was certainly been the case for myself.
