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 HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller?

Nineteen patches into 3.2, HAProxy's ingress controller is mostly bumping dependencies

The controller remains on the 3.2 patch line. Since v3.2.14 the only release of substance is v3.2.15, which stopped filtering ingresses on IngressClass name at ingestion, reworked status publishing and moved to Go 1.27. Later patches are mainly dependency and tooling updates, with v3.2.18 keeping every TLS secret of an ingress on the same host and v3.2.19 fixing a data race on the reload flag.

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.

H5.0

Nineteen patches into 3.2, HAProxy's ingress controller is mostly bumping dependencies

◆ Current state

The controller remains on the 3.2 patch line. Since v3.2.14 the only release of substance is v3.2.15, which stopped filtering ingresses on IngressClass name at ingestion, reworked status publishing and moved to Go 1.27. Later patches are mainly dependency and tooling updates, with v3.2.18 keeping every TLS secret of an ingress on the same host and v3.2.19 fixing a data race on the reload flag.

◆ Where it's heading

The ssl-passthrough theme has faded, and the series is now closer to routine upkeep than stabilization. Fixes have moved to ingress class handling, TLS secret storage and concurrency, with test coverage arriving in the same changes. Patches keep coming, but no new configuration surface has appeared on this line in the entries shown, apart from amending the SSL frontend through a custom resource in v3.2.15.

◆ Prediction

Expect further patches dominated by go.mod and Kubernetes client updates, with new capability waiting for a later line.
