What is HelloID?

HelloID is retiring old APIs and tightening data rules ahead of larger business-rule limits.

HelloID's 2026.10 and 2026.11 cycles are mostly fixes, plus a few changes that matter to admins: the Product Ownership API endpoints are gone, custom field names must be unique regardless of case, and business-rule previews now refresh manually. A task-state filter helps find failed or pending product requests.

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.

HelloID vs Radarr: editorial side-by-side

H
HelloID
COLLAB
5.0

HelloID is retiring old APIs and tightening data rules ahead of larger business-rule limits.

◆ Current state

HelloID's 2026.10 and 2026.11 cycles are mostly fixes, plus a few changes that matter to admins: the Product Ownership API endpoints are gone, custom field names must be unique regardless of case, and business-rule previews now refresh manually. A task-state filter helps find failed or pending product requests.

◆ Where it's heading

The changes clear the way for bigger deployments: the manual-refresh change explicitly prepares for higher business-rule limits, and the field-name rule prevents PowerShell target conflicts. Expect provisioning scale to be the next focus.

◆ Prediction

A higher limit on business rules is the most likely next visible change, since the manual-refresh change was made to prepare for it.

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.
