What is AdGuard Home?

AdGuard Home patches a DNS-over-QUIC resource exhaustion advisory and moves edge to the new UI

v0.107.79 is presented as a stability release but carries the security work: a Go update for the vulnerabilities fixed in 1.26.6 and hardening against resource exhaustion over DNS-over-QUIC, published as GHSA-w6v6-f44j-3rj2. Alongside it, bootstrap server config accepts comments, install APIs gain a language property, static lease hostnames can be removed over HTTP, strict_sni_check is deprecated, and DNS64 stops treating unresolved CNAME/DNAME answers as the end of the chain.

What is FoRecoML?

The machine-learning arm of a forecast reconciliation toolkit, four months old and already sharing its sibling's plumbing.

FoRecoML brings machine-learning approaches to forecast reconciliation across cross-sectional, temporal, and cross-temporal frameworks through csrml(), terml(), and ctrml(). It reached CRAN in April 2026 and has since spent both releases integrating with FoReco rather than expanding its own method set: results are now FoReco's foreco objects, and print() and summary() report framework, approach, problem dimensions, features, training sample size, combination matrix, and trained models.

AdGuard Home patches a DNS-over-QUIC resource exhaustion advisory and moves edge to the new UI

◆ Current state

v0.107.79 is presented as a stability release but carries the security work: a Go update for the vulnerabilities fixed in 1.26.6 and hardening against resource exhaustion over DNS-over-QUIC, published as GHSA-w6v6-f44j-3rj2. Alongside it, bootstrap server config accepts comments, install APIs gain a language property, static lease hostnames can be removed over HTTP, strict_sni_check is deprecated, and DNS64 stops treating unresolved CNAME/DNAME answers as the end of the chain.

◆ Where it's heading

Two channels run in parallel — the 0.107 stable line and the 0.108 beta — and the edge channel has now switched to the new UI and versioning scheme, which is the first concrete sign that the 0.108 work is being staged for release. Stable releases keep absorbing protocol correctness fixes and DNS-over-QUIC hardening.

◆ Prediction

With edge already on the new UI and versioning scheme, the 0.108 line is the likely destination for that switch, and strict_sni_check being deprecated now points to its removal there.

The machine-learning arm of a forecast reconciliation toolkit, four months old and already sharing its sibling's plumbing.

◆ Current state

FoRecoML brings machine-learning approaches to forecast reconciliation across cross-sectional, temporal, and cross-temporal frameworks through csrml(), terml(), and ctrml(). It reached CRAN in April 2026 and has since spent both releases integrating with FoReco rather than expanding its own method set: results are now FoReco's foreco objects, and print() and summary() report framework, approach, problem dimensions, features, training sample size, combination matrix, and trained models.

◆ Where it's heading

This package is being built as a satellite, not a competitor. Adopting FoReco's exported new_foreco_class() constructor within days of that class appearing means FoRecoML results drop straight into the same print, summary, plot, and components methods as analytically reconciled ones — which is what makes machine-learning and classical reconciliation directly comparable in a single workflow. The 1.1.1 argument-validation work landed in the same minute as the equivalent change in FoReco, so the two are being maintained as one release train.

◆ Prediction

With the integration work done, the next release is more likely to add or expose machine-learning approaches than to keep reshaping output; the structured summary already enumerates features and trained models, which suggests inspection tooling is where attention has been.
