What is AdGuard Home?

AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings

AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.

What is MooseFS?

A year of pure maintenance while the 4.x line clears the runway for MooseFS 5.

MooseFS has shipped nothing but maintenance releases across the entire visible window. The last release carrying real capability work was 4.58.0, which fixed partial readdir and added directory-in-parts reading for multi-million-file directories; everything after it is correctness, packaging, and hardening. The 4.59.x releases are single-issue fixes reported by the community and by external security researchers.

AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings

◆ Current state

AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.

◆ Where it's heading

The two lines are now patched in step on security, while the 1.0 beta absorbs UI corrections and validation fixes ahead of a stable switch. The beta fixes are mostly about settings that did not save or validate correctly, which is the cleanup a new UI needs before it replaces the old one.

◆ Prediction

Expect more 1.0 betas fixing settings and validation in the new UI; the entries give no date for 1.0 stable.

A year of pure maintenance while the 4.x line clears the runway for MooseFS 5.

◆ Current state

MooseFS has shipped nothing but maintenance releases across the entire visible window. The last release carrying real capability work was 4.58.0, which fixed partial readdir and added directory-in-parts reading for multi-million-file directories; everything after it is correctness, packaging, and hardening. The 4.59.x releases are single-issue fixes reported by the community and by external security researchers.

◆ Where it's heading

The line is consolidating rather than expanding. Two signals point the same way: 4.59.1 quietly updated license handling specifically so licenses can be refreshed ahead of MooseFS 5 migrations, and 4.58.4 spent its effort on Fedora spec files and a bootstrap rewrite. That is a project stabilizing a shipping branch and widening distribution while the next major version is built elsewhere.

◆ Prediction

The 4.59.x branch keeps absorbing community bug reports at a low cadence until MooseFS 5 arrives; the license-compatibility work in 4.59.1 is the clearest evidence that migration is the next milestone rather than more 4.x features.
