AdGuard Home vs Coder: at a glance
What is AdGuard Home?
AdGuard Home renames its next release: the 0.108 beta line becomes v1.0.0.
The beta channel has moved to the new UI and versioning scheme, and the first build under it is v1.0.0-b.1, published two days after v0.108.0-b.91. It carries a Go security update, a fix for reading partially received TCP prefixes and a command-line update panic fix, and drops macOS 13 support as a consequence of Go 1.27. The stable line last moved with 0.107.79 in August.
What is Coder?
Coder now patches three release lines at once, and the fixes keep landing on agent access.
Coder's feed shows patch releases on v2.29, v2.34 and v2.36 within three days, which means a v2.35 and a v2.36 mainline shipped that this feed never captured. The late-October fixes are permission work: new API keys stay within the caller's scopes, fetching external agent credentials now requires SSH permission, and read_skill_file reads are confined to the skill directory. Everything else is release-script and DERP client fixes.

AdGuard Home
0.0INFRA · APIS
AdGuard Home renames its next release: the 0.108 beta line becomes v1.0.0.
◆ Current state
The beta channel has moved to the new UI and versioning scheme, and the first build under it is v1.0.0-b.1, published two days after v0.108.0-b.91. It carries a Go security update, a fix for reading partially received TCP prefixes and a command-line update panic fix, and drops macOS 13 support as a consequence of Go 1.27. The stable line last moved with 0.107.79 in August.
◆ Where it's heading
What began on the edge channel in August has reached beta, and the version number now states the ambition: the long-running 0.x project is preparing a 1.0. Fix lists on the beta remain short and focused on correctness and Go updates, which suggests the work is converging rather than adding scope.
◆ Prediction
More v1.0.0 betas are likely before a stable 1.0, and the new UI will arrive for stable users with it. No date or candidate is given in these notes.
Coder
5.0INFRA · APIS
Coder now patches three release lines at once, and the fixes keep landing on agent access.
◆ Current state
Coder's feed shows patch releases on v2.29, v2.34 and v2.36 within three days, which means a v2.35 and a v2.36 mainline shipped that this feed never captured. The late-October fixes are permission work: new API keys stay within the caller's scopes, fetching external agent credentials now requires SSH permission, and read_skill_file reads are confined to the skill directory. Everything else is release-script and DERP client fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The security surface is moving to the AI agent features. Two of the three substantive fixes this round concern what an agent can read or which credentials it can obtain, following the June hardening drop on OIDC linking and token theft. The multi-branch backporting continues, so enterprise customers on older lines like 2.29 still get the same permission fixes as the mainline.
◆ Prediction
Expect more permission checks around agent credentials and skills as those features get exercised; the feature releases themselves are not visible in this feed, so their direction is unclear from these entries.
