What is Jackett?

Jackett ships a daily build to keep hundreds of torrent indexers working as sites move and close.

Jackett is an open-source proxy that turns hundreds of torrent tracker sites into a single Torznab API for media automation tools. It ships an auto-generated release roughly every day, and nearly every one is indexer upkeep: new domains, category mappings, selector fixes after site redesigns, and removing dead trackers.

What is Supabase?

Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.

The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.

Jackett ships a daily build to keep hundreds of torrent indexers working as sites move and close.

◆ Current state

Jackett is an open-source proxy that turns hundreds of torrent tracker sites into a single Torznab API for media automation tools. It ships an auto-generated release roughly every day, and nearly every one is indexer upkeep: new domains, category mappings, selector fixes after site redesigns, and removing dead trackers.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is entirely maintenance. Its value depends on keeping up with a tracker ecosystem where sites change domains and layouts weekly. Where possible, the project is moving definitions to sturdier integrations, such as switching world-of-tomorrow to its Torznab API and retiring trackers that moved to direct downloads.

◆ Prediction

Expect the daily cadence to continue, with more trackers moved to API-based definitions and more dead sites removed. Core changes stay rare.

Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.

◆ Current state

The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.

◆ Where it's heading

Supabase is paying down the security cost of its own convenience. Auto-exposing every public-schema table made the product fast to start with and easy to misconfigure; the fix is explicit Postgres grants, staged over six months from new projects in April to all existing projects on October 30. The RLS Tester is the same theme from the other side — the auto-exposure default only worked if row-level security was correct, and until now there was no way to check.

◆ Prediction

Expect the remaining rollout dates to hold and more of the developer experience to be rebuilt around explicit grants, with the RLS Tester graduating from preview as it becomes the tool people need to verify the new model. The October cutover for existing projects is the moment where this stops being an announcement and starts breaking things.
