Lidarr vs SOGo: 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 SOGo?
SOGo's 5.12 line keeps shipping security fixes, now with mandatory settings attached.
SOGo, Alinto's self-hosted webmail, calendar and contacts suite, has made most 2026 releases about security. v5.12.11 in September fixed password reset poisoning and several XSS injections, and made a SOGoPasswordRecoveryBaseURLs setting mandatory when password recovery is on, with a warning that the XSS fix may affect webmail display. v5.12.12 in October fixed another major vulnerability and now verifies LDAP TLS certificates by default.
Lidarr vs SOGo: editorial side-by-side
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.
SOGo
2.5COLLAB
SOGo's 5.12 line keeps shipping security fixes, now with mandatory settings attached.
◆ Current state
SOGo, Alinto's self-hosted webmail, calendar and contacts suite, has made most 2026 releases about security. v5.12.11 in September fixed password reset poisoning and several XSS injections, and made a SOGoPasswordRecoveryBaseURLs setting mandatory when password recovery is on, with a warning that the XSS fix may affect webmail display. v5.12.12 in October fixed another major vulnerability and now verifies LDAP TLS certificates by default.
◆ Where it's heading
Fixes are increasingly arriving with secure defaults that break lax configurations, first password recovery URLs and then LDAP certificate checks. Feature work has been absent since 5.12.4 a year ago.
◆ Prediction
Further 5.12.x security releases are likely; operators should expect more defaults that require configuration changes.
