What is Asana?

Asana gives client portal activity its own Inbox tab, a week after launching Tables.

Asana's newest object type is Tables, which stores vendor and asset records next to tasks on Advanced and Enterprise plans. Two smaller releases followed on November 5: a Client portal activity tab in Inbox for Client Management licensees, and collapsible Heading 1 to 3 sections in Pages. Both target users whose Inbox or docs have grown too large to scan.

What is Radarr?

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line now shows every audio and subtitle stream per file.

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line is on its second build. 7.0.0 moved the app to .NET 10 and added OIDC login, PEM certificates and Trakt Smart List imports. 7.0.1 follows with media info that lists every audio and subtitle stream, full Transmission label support and clearer import-failure messages. The main branch is still on 6.4.4.

6.3

Asana gives client portal activity its own Inbox tab, a week after launching Tables.

◆ Current state

Asana's newest object type is Tables, which stores vendor and asset records next to tasks on Advanced and Enterprise plans. Two smaller releases followed on November 5: a Client portal activity tab in Inbox for Client Management licensees, and collapsible Heading 1 to 3 sections in Pages. Both target users whose Inbox or docs have grown too large to scan.

◆ Where it's heading

The fall ran from structural control (subtask types, date rollups, rule permissions) to new containers for work (Tables, client portals, Pages). The latest entries tidy those containers rather than add new ones, which suggests Pages and client portals are now treated as surfaces worth polishing.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Client Management features built on the portals, and early fixes or plan expansion for Tables; the entries do not show which comes first.

5.0

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line now shows every audio and subtitle stream per file.

◆ Current state

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line is on its second build. 7.0.0 moved the app to .NET 10 and added OIDC login, PEM certificates and Trakt Smart List imports. 7.0.1 follows with media info that lists every audio and subtitle stream, full Transmission label support and clearer import-failure messages. The main branch is still on 6.4.4.

◆ Where it's heading

The 7.0 cycle pairs a platform upgrade with deeper file-level detail: media info, import diagnostics and download-client labels. The media info migration was split into batches to avoid running out of memory, which shows the team is hardening the upgrade path for large libraries before a stable release.

◆ Prediction

More 7.0.x pre-release builds with import and media info fixes are likely before 7.0 reaches the main branch; the entries do not show a date for that promotion.
