AdGuard Home vs Volatility: 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 Volatility?
Volatility 3 2.28.2 adds Mermaid tree output and starts deprecating macOS analysis.
Volatility 3 reached functional parity with Volatility 2 in 2.26.0, then reorganised malware plugins into their own namespace and added an arrow/parquet renderer. 2.28.0 in April brought Linux sockscan and process_spoofing. 2.28.2 in September adds a Mermaid renderer for tree relationships, lets Linux malfind dump enumerated VMAs, verifies Intel layers with translation checks, and adds a deprecation warning for macOS analysis.

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.
Volatility
0.0INFRA · APIS
Volatility 3 2.28.2 adds Mermaid tree output and starts deprecating macOS analysis.
◆ Current state
Volatility 3 reached functional parity with Volatility 2 in 2.26.0, then reorganised malware plugins into their own namespace and added an arrow/parquet renderer. 2.28.0 in April brought Linux sockscan and process_spoofing. 2.28.2 in September adds a Mermaid renderer for tree relationships, lets Linux malfind dump enumerated VMAs, verifies Intel layers with translation checks, and adds a deprecation warning for macOS analysis.
◆ Where it's heading
Development is narrowing toward Windows and Linux, with output formats that feed other tools. The macOS warning is the first sign of support being cut back.
◆ Prediction
Expect macOS analysis support to be reduced or removed in a later release; the entries don't say when.
