This post is published corresponding to the Gogs - Go Git Service v0.4.1 release.

In the very beginning of this post, I want to speak for the develop team say sorry to all Gogs users:

No matter if you’ve ever noticed in Trello board, we’re sorry to say that the organization feature didn’t implement in this release. This is caused by limited of team members in this period, but we’re sure about to provide this feature in 0.5.0.

For me, this is a terrible release, we’ve delayed or canceled some of features that we planned to implement. However, it does not this release make no sense. You’ll found batch of bug fixes, improvements and features from Change Log. Meanwhile, the number of contributors has increased from 17 to 32.
