AdGuard Home vs FOSSA CLI
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AdGuard Home and FOSSA CLI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AdGuard Home vs FOSSA CLI: 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 FOSSA CLI?
fossa-cli's feed jumps from 3.17 to 3.20, with clearer container scan errors.
The newest entry, v3.20.10 (2026-10-31), makes container analysis report the registry error when an image layer fails to download instead of an internal threading error, and adds per-phase timing to analysis telemetry. The feed has no entries between 3.17.17 in August and 3.20.10, so the 3.18 to 3.20 releases are not visible here.

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.
FOSSA CLI
2.5INFRA · APIS
fossa-cli's feed jumps from 3.17 to 3.20, with clearer container scan errors.
◆ Current state
The newest entry, v3.20.10 (2026-10-31), makes container analysis report the registry error when an image layer fails to download instead of an internal threading error, and adds per-phase timing to analysis telemetry. The feed has no entries between 3.17.17 in August and 3.20.10, so the 3.18 to 3.20 releases are not visible here.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible releases are ecosystem-by-ecosystem accuracy fixes (npm, pnpm, sbt, Conan, dpkg) and operational adjustments such as a longer default timeout. With three minor versions missing from the feed, any larger changes in that span can't be assessed from these entries.
◆ Prediction
Expect more per-ecosystem resolution fixes and patch releases; the gap in the feed makes a more specific prediction unreliable.
