HedgeDoc vs Lidarr: at a glance
What is HedgeDoc?
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixes seven advisories, then gets pulled for a PostgreSQL migration bug
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixed seven security advisories, including an impersonation attack when two auth providers return the same profile id, a timing leak that revealed registered emails, and unescaped iframes in slides. It was pulled within minutes because a profile provider migration failed on PostgreSQL, and 1.12.2 replaces it. The release also lets OAuth2 and OIDC providers supply profile photos and updates mermaid to 11.17.
What is Lidarr?
Lidarr starts a 3.2 pre-release while 3.1 gains host and network checks
Lidarr ships small maintenance releases every few weeks. 3.1.6 on the stable branch improves Allowed Hosts and Trusted Networks handling and logging, adds release year detection and fixes Freebox imports. A 3.2.0 pre-release followed with wildcard IP support in Allowed Hosts, indexer-recommended page sizes and periodic cache cleanup.

HedgeDoc
5.0COLLAB
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixes seven advisories, then gets pulled for a PostgreSQL migration bug
◆ Current state
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixed seven security advisories, including an impersonation attack when two auth providers return the same profile id, a timing leak that revealed registered emails, and unescaped iframes in slides. It was pulled within minutes because a profile provider migration failed on PostgreSQL, and 1.12.2 replaces it. The release also lets OAuth2 and OIDC providers supply profile photos and updates mermaid to 11.17.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.x line remains driven by security response, with advisory batches arriving every one to three months. This release adds a schema migration, and the immediate PostgreSQL breakage shows the risk of mixing data changes into security patches. Small auth and rendering features keep arriving alongside the fixes.
◆ Prediction
More advisory batches on the 1.12.x line are likely, given the pattern; the entries do not show when the next major line will replace 1.x.
Lidarr
5.0COLLAB
Lidarr starts a 3.2 pre-release while 3.1 gains host and network checks
◆ Current state
Lidarr ships small maintenance releases every few weeks. 3.1.6 on the stable branch improves Allowed Hosts and Trusted Networks handling and logging, adds release year detection and fixes Freebox imports. A 3.2.0 pre-release followed with wildcard IP support in Allowed Hosts, indexer-recommended page sizes and periodic cache cleanup.
◆ Where it's heading
The *arr projects are rolling out the same host-validation settings together, and many of Lidarr's fixes are the same commits shipped in Prowlarr. The 3.2 bump is a version step, not a feature release, in what the notes show.
◆ Prediction
A stable 3.2.0 is the likely next entry, given the pre-release has been out since late October.
