GravityKit vs Sonarr: at a glance
What is GravityKit?
GravityKit is quietly turning Gravity Forms entries into a cross-form data layer.
Multiple Forms 0.7.0 adds unions — stacking entries from several Gravity Forms forms into one searchable View with no shared field and no code. It arrives alongside rich text inline editing in GravityEdit and GravityView 3.3.0, which carries compatibility fixes for Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0. The weekly Launch Log cadence is steady and covers the whole suite at once: View editor drag-to-copy, accessibility work including screen reader row headers, 3D map viewport loading, DataTables search and security, and Block MCP theme template editing.
What is Sonarr?
Sonarr is in pure maintenance mode — six releases, not one feature.
Six point releases in this window and none of them carries a feature. The changes are an ordering fix so free space is not checked when another specification has already failed, unexpected database language values normalized to Unknown, basic auth repaired for qBittorrent, and a Jellyfin and Emby connection test with a new Jellyfin auth header. One release ships with no changelog entry at all.

GravityKit is quietly turning Gravity Forms entries into a cross-form data layer.
◆ Current state
Multiple Forms 0.7.0 adds unions — stacking entries from several Gravity Forms forms into one searchable View with no shared field and no code. It arrives alongside rich text inline editing in GravityEdit and GravityView 3.3.0, which carries compatibility fixes for Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0. The weekly Launch Log cadence is steady and covers the whole suite at once: View editor drag-to-copy, accessibility work including screen reader row headers, 3D map viewport loading, DataTables search and security, and Block MCP theme template editing.
◆ Where it's heading
Two lines are converging. The first treats form entries as a queryable dataset rather than per-form submissions — GravitySearch's cross-form search, and now unions, both dissolve the boundary between individual forms. The second is an agent surface: GravityKit MCP and Block MCP keep receiving updates, and GravityView 3.0 shipped AI-assisted View creation. A large share of recent releases is also absorbed by keeping the suite compatible with Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0, which sets the pace of everything else.
◆ Prediction
Expect unions to move from the Multiple Forms add-on toward the core View building experience, following the same path cross-form search took. Continued Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 compatibility fixes will likely dominate the next few Launch Logs.
Sonarr
5.0INFRA · APIS
Sonarr is in pure maintenance mode — six releases, not one feature.
◆ Current state
Six point releases in this window and none of them carries a feature. The changes are an ordering fix so free space is not checked when another specification has already failed, unexpected database language values normalized to Unknown, basic auth repaired for qBittorrent, and a Jellyfin and Emby connection test with a new Jellyfin auth header. One release ships with no changelog entry at all.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a mature application on a stable branch, and the work is reactive: download clients and media servers change upstream, integrations break, Sonarr repairs them. The qBittorrent basic auth fix appearing on both the 4.0.18 and 4.0.19 lines shows a project deliberately keeping a maintenance branch alive rather than pushing everyone forward.
◆ Prediction
Nothing in these entries points to a feature cycle. Expect the same pattern — small point releases tracking upstream changes in download clients and media servers — to continue.
