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 CRI-O?

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.

CRI-O ships patch releases across three branches with empty change notes

◆ Current state

CRI-O's changelog is patch releases across supported branches, now including v1.35.x alongside v1.34.x. The three newest notes, v1.35.10, v1.34.15 and v1.34.14, list empty Dependencies and Feature sections with no items. Earlier 1.34 patches carried dependency updates and regression fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is in steady maintenance on several Kubernetes-aligned branches. The published notes have stopped describing changes, so users cannot see what a patch contains from the feed.

◆ Prediction

More patch releases on 1.34 and 1.35 are likely at the same cadence; whether notes will return is unclear.
