Gitea version: 1.13.0

Description

In this release git hooks have been disabled by default for security reasons as detailed in #13058. This is not immediately visible from the changelog/release notes but could be considered a breaking or at least rather important change.
It would be really helpful if changes like this could be explicitly mentioned.

Sorry, I should have been a bit more verbose.
I noticed it in the security section, but would not have expected a changed default from reading the title. The one following in the list "Disable DSA ssh keys by default" is rather clear on the other hand.
Just as a suggestion, it might be helpful to include some kind of breaking changes list (like changed default values, changed API behaviour etc.) or clearer titles for such issues.
