AdGuard Home vs tidyaudit: at a glance
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 tidyaudit?
Pipeline provenance for tidyverse workflows, recording what changed at each step without keeping the data.
tidyaudit records lightweight metadata snapshots as data flows through a pipeline — row and column counts, NA counts, and structured diffs between any two points — without storing the data itself. Taps are operation-aware, so join, filter, and anti-join steps each report what that operation specifically did, and validation helpers cover join integrity, primary keys, and variable relationships. The trail can now be exported as a self-contained interactive HTML diagram or serialized to JSON or RDS.

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.

0.0INFRA · APIS
Pipeline provenance for tidyverse workflows, recording what changed at each step without keeping the data.
◆ Current state
tidyaudit records lightweight metadata snapshots as data flows through a pipeline — row and column counts, NA counts, and structured diffs between any two points — without storing the data itself. Taps are operation-aware, so join, filter, and anti-join steps each report what that operation specifically did, and validation helpers cover join integrity, primary keys, and variable relationships. The trail can now be exported as a self-contained interactive HTML diagram or serialized to JSON or RDS.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is from inspection to artifact. The first release made the trail something you print and read; 0.2.0 made it something you can hand to someone else or feed to another program, with the HTML export deliberately requiring no server and no Shiny. Reporting has been refined in the same direction, with a tabular changes block showing from-and-to values with row, column, and NA deltas. The remaining work in the window is defensive — a factor-handling path rebuilt because R-devel tightened what as.data.frame.table() accepts in row names.
◆ Prediction
With serialization and a standalone export in place, the natural next step is making trails comparable across runs rather than only across steps within one, though nothing in the entries commits to it yet.
