Lidarr vs SiYuan: at a glance
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.
What is SiYuan?
SiYuan's 3.8.10 alpha reaches 24 items, now with custom PDF sizes and better LAN sync.
SiYuan's 3.8.10 alpha.5 on November 3 lists 24 items, up from 19 in alpha.3. New this time: smarter LAN sync address picking on VPN and multi-interface setups, related database views in entry details, custom PDF page sizes, bottom-sheet dialogs on mobile and apostrophe-safe keyword search. The line already carried workspace-level AI memory, database sub-items, HTTP requests in templates and a built-in Markdown editor.

Lidarr

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.
SiYuan
5.0COLLAB
SiYuan's 3.8.10 alpha reaches 24 items, now with custom PDF sizes and better LAN sync.
◆ Current state
SiYuan's 3.8.10 alpha.5 on November 3 lists 24 items, up from 19 in alpha.3. New this time: smarter LAN sync address picking on VPN and multi-interface setups, related database views in entry details, custom PDF page sizes, bottom-sheet dialogs on mobile and apostrophe-safe keyword search. The line already carried workspace-level AI memory, database sub-items, HTTP requests in templates and a built-in Markdown editor.
◆ Where it's heading
SiYuan ships alphas every day or two and lets each release list grow until a freeze. The 3.8.10 line spreads across AI agent features, databases and mobile polish, while the desktop Electron process moves to strict TypeScript.
◆ Prediction
Expect more alphas, then a beta series that freezes the 3.8.10 list, as 3.8.9 did with its beta-to-RC run.
