LibrePhotos vs Radarr: at a glance
What is LibrePhotos?
LibrePhotos ships five releases in a month and makes sharing with family a first-class job.
LibrePhotos went from 1.2.1 to 1.5.1 between late September and the end of October. Release 1.3.0 moved tagging and search onto one OpenCLIP model and fixed two code execution bugs. Release 1.4.0 writes edits back to files and adds search filters, and 1.5.0 adds whole-library, per-person and collaborative album sharing, a Places map, 360° photo spheres and a self-updating Windows app. Release 1.5.1 repairs a stuck SQLite upgrade step.
What is Radarr?
Radarr's 7.0 pre-release moves to .NET 10 and adds OIDC login.
A Radarr 7.0.0 pre-release landed in late October with .NET 10, Node.js 24, OIDC authentication with Remember Me, PEM certificates, an option to bypass authentication for localhost and Trakt Smart List imports. Custom scores can now use the renamed filename before import. The 6.4.4 builds before it added a filter by movie file quality and more fixes for Trusted Networks and Allowed Hosts logging.

LibrePhotos
5.0COLLAB
LibrePhotos ships five releases in a month and makes sharing with family a first-class job.
◆ Current state
LibrePhotos went from 1.2.1 to 1.5.1 between late September and the end of October. Release 1.3.0 moved tagging and search onto one OpenCLIP model and fixed two code execution bugs. Release 1.4.0 writes edits back to files and adds search filters, and 1.5.0 adds whole-library, per-person and collaborative album sharing, a Places map, 360° photo spheres and a self-updating Windows app. Release 1.5.1 repairs a stuck SQLite upgrade step.
◆ Where it's heading
The summer's shared-instance plumbing now has a household-level payoff: a parent can share one child's photos with the grandparents instead of creating a whole shared setup. The project is also shedding complexity, with one vision model, one Docker image for any GPU and upgrade work run from an admin card. Security fixes appear in each of the last three feature releases, so anyone hosting for others has a reason to keep up with this pace.
◆ Prediction
With the Finish the upgrade card and self-update in place, expect more point releases like 1.5.1 that repair upgrade edge cases. Sharing should keep expanding, and further public-link and permission fixes are likely.
Radarr
2.5COLLAB
Radarr's 7.0 pre-release moves to .NET 10 and adds OIDC login.
◆ Current state
A Radarr 7.0.0 pre-release landed in late October with .NET 10, Node.js 24, OIDC authentication with Remember Me, PEM certificates, an option to bypass authentication for localhost and Trakt Smart List imports. Custom scores can now use the renamed filename before import. The 6.4.4 builds before it added a filter by movie file quality and more fixes for Trusted Networks and Allowed Hosts logging.
◆ Where it's heading
Authentication has become the main axis after months of third-party integration upkeep: Trusted Networks and hostname validation arrived in 6.4.3, and OIDC arrives in 7.0. That is a move toward instances exposed to more than one person or network.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 7.0 pre-releases that clear authentication and .NET 10 fallout before the build reaches the main branch. The notes give no date for a final 7.0.
