Forail 2026.06.0 — Release Notes

Release date: 2026-06-14 Based on: Forail 2026.05.0 License: Apache License 2.0

Overview

Forail 2026.06.0 is the project rename release. The platform — previously published as Forge under the forgeplatform GitHub organization — is now Forail, under the forail-platform organization. This was a deliberate move to a unique, unambiguous name that does not collide with the many existing "forge"-named projects.

There are no functional changes in this release. Every component was verified to build and deploy unchanged after the rename (full stack brought up on a 5-node k3s cluster, operator reconciling, REST API serving HTTP 200, database migrations applied).

What changed

• Name: forge → forail, organization forgeplatform → forail-platform (note the hyphen).
• Container images: now published to ghcr.io/forail-platform/forail-<component>. The old ghcr.io/forgeplatform/forge-* packages are retired.
• Python package: forge → forail; CLI forge-manage → forail-manage (the awx-manage compatibility alias is retained).
• Kubernetes operator: Go module github.com/forail-platform/forail-operator; CRD API group forge.forgeplatform.io → forail.forail-platform.io; the ForgeInstance kind is now ForailInstance. All 9 CRDs renamed.
• Helm chart / Compose: image references and the forail.lan ingress host updated; values pinned to the 2026.06.0 images.
• Mobile: Kotlin package io.forailplatform.mobile (no hyphen — hyphens are invalid in JVM package identifiers).
• Versioning: all platform components are unified on CalVer 2026.06.0 for this coordinated release.

Upgrade guide

This is a rename, not a data-model change, so existing installs keep working on the old images until you re-point them.

1. Kubernetes (Helm): bash helm upgrade forail oci://ghcr.io/forail-platform/forail-helm \ --version 2026.6.0 -n forail
2. Operator: because the CRD API group changed (forge.forgeplatform.io → forail.forail-platform.io), this is a breaking change for existing CRs. Re-apply your resources against the new group. The operator is republished as forail-operator.
3. Docker Compose: pull FORAIL_TAG=2026.06.0 and ghcr.io/forail-platform/forail-* images (see .env.example).

Notes

• GitHub automatically redirects the old organization/repository URLs, so existing links continue to resolve.
• A fresh OperatorHub.io submission under the forail-operator name is planned to replace the retired forge-operator listing.
