AdGuard Home vs Argo Rollouts
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AdGuard Home and Argo Rollouts — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AdGuard Home vs Argo Rollouts: at a glance
What is AdGuard Home?
AdGuard Home's stable line takes a Go security update and turns off Multipath TCP.
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: it moves to the Go version with the 1.27.3 fixes, disables Multipath TCP support to avoid CVE-2026-98432, and drops macOS 13 Ventura as a consequence of Go 1.27. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September, with v1.0.0-b.1 as the first build.
What is Argo Rollouts?
An RC-only feed where 1.9's headline change was reverted before it shipped.
Every entry in this window is a release candidate; no GA tag appears at all. The 1.9 line spent three RCs largely on pipeline problems — rc3 explicitly ships no changes from rc2 — and its one architectural change was withdrawn. That change would have narrowed .status.selector to report only the stable ReplicaSet for traffic-routed canaries so HPA stopped counting canary pods in its desired-replica math. The 1.10.0-rc1 notes are dominated by build and dependency work.

AdGuard Home
2.5INFRA · APIS
AdGuard Home's stable line takes a Go security update and turns off Multipath TCP.
◆ Current state
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: it moves to the Go version with the 1.27.3 fixes, disables Multipath TCP support to avoid CVE-2026-98432, and drops macOS 13 Ventura as a consequence of Go 1.27. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September, with v1.0.0-b.1 as the first build.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks run in parallel: a stable 0.107 line that ships mostly security and dependency updates, and a beta line that has become v1.0.0 and carries the new UI. Platform support is now set by Go's own requirements, as the macOS 13 removal shows on both lines.
◆ Prediction
The next visible moves are likely further v1.0.0 betas and continued 0.107 security releases; the entries do not show when 1.0 reaches stable.
Argo Rollouts
0.0INFRA · APIS
An RC-only feed where 1.9's headline change was reverted before it shipped.
◆ Current state
Every entry in this window is a release candidate; no GA tag appears at all. The 1.9 line spent three RCs largely on pipeline problems — rc3 explicitly ships no changes from rc2 — and its one architectural change was withdrawn. That change would have narrowed .status.selector to report only the stable ReplicaSet for traffic-routed canaries so HPA stopped counting canary pods in its desired-replica math. The 1.10.0-rc1 notes are dominated by build and dependency work.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible direction is operational rather than behavioural: notifications broadened to Teams workflows and NATS.io, a build system parameterized for company forks, CI skipped for docs-only changes, a move to pnpm. The selector revert says the project would rather live with awkward HPA math than break autoscaling for existing users, so progressive-delivery mechanics stay where they are.
◆ Prediction
1.10.0 looks likely to land close to rc1 — dependency, CVE and notification work with no controller-semantics change — and the HPA selector question stays open unless it returns behind an opt-in flag.
