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 Tolgee?

Tolgee ships near-daily patches, mostly fixes and security bumps around its branching feature.

Tolgee released nine versions in a week. Almost all are bug fixes and dependency updates for security, with branch-related fixes (scoping imports to a branch, faster branch creation) and one small feature showing hosted word counts on the project dashboard.

AdGuard Home vs Tolgee: editorial side-by-side

AdGuard Home
INFRA · APIS
0.0

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.

5.0

Tolgee ships near-daily patches, mostly fixes and security bumps around its branching feature.

◆ Current state

Tolgee released nine versions in a week. Almost all are bug fixes and dependency updates for security, with branch-related fixes (scoping imports to a branch, faster branch creation) and one small feature showing hosted word counts on the project dashboard.

◆ Where it's heading

Branching for translations is the active area, and the team ships fixes for it in small, frequent releases. Usage visibility such as hosted words points toward plan-limit and billing transparency.

◆ Prediction

The entries show mostly maintenance, so the next feature is unclear; more branching fixes are the safest expectation.
