+
+The Gitea 1.22 second Release Candidate (RC) is available today on the download page! Gitea 1.22 is packed with new features and improvements. Getting the RC (release candidate) allows you to experiment with it early, try it on your workloads, and report any issues before the final release. Here are some notable changes and features in Gitea 1.22; for the full list, refer to the full release notes.
+
+Note: Since 1.22-rc0 full of bugs, the 1.22-rc1 have been rebranched from main branch but not continue the old release/v1.22 branch. The 1.22-rc1 and later won't be able to downgrade to 1.22-rc0 and they shouldn't because many bugs are only fixed in 1.22-rc1. There will be no impact to end users who are using 1.22-rc0, they could safely upgrade to 1.22-rc1 and get more bug fixes and new enhancements.
