Description

In the upgrade script contrib/upgrade.sh is the line

giteaversion=$(curl --connect-timeout 10 -sL https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/version.json | jq -r .latest.version)

Currently, https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/version.json returns

{"latest":{"version":"1.21.7"}}

causing the script not to recognize that Gitea 1.21.8 is available. The script should be adjusted to reflect the latest version or the version.json should be changed in-sync with new releases.

Gitea Version

1.21.7

I've updated it, however I may consider making this dynamic. Our CDN allows for running scripts to generate pages (it's how I made the dynamic file listing), so I could fetch from the git repo itself to see the latest tag.

Will keep this open as a tracking item.

Maybe it should wait for 1.21.9 , since 1.21.8 has a known issue ....

It's now 1.21.8, so this can be closed.
