What is MISP?

MISP 2.5.50 deletes legacy discussions, templates and allowedlists as security fixes keep coming.

MISP is deep in a security-remediation cycle: 2.5.46, 2.5.47, 2.5.48 and now 2.5.50 each ship externally reported fixes, and 2.4.221 backported 57 of them to the EOL branch. 2.5.47 added PostgreSQL support and a first AI-assisted analysis integration. 2.5.50 moves Redis host settings to CLI-only and closes event-index and object-search information leaks. It also starts deleting legacy features outright.

What is Sonarr?

Sonarr 5.0 adds TMDb import lists and proper multi-season pack handling.

Sonarr keeps publishing 5.0 test builds every few days. Build 2870 adds TMDb import lists, shows every season in a multi-season pack and adds a Multi-Season Pack release type. Accessibility work continues, with download context on queue buttons and release names on history actions. Earlier builds added Trakt Smart Lists, OIDC Remember Me and a redesigned episode details view.

MISP 2.5.50 deletes legacy discussions, templates and allowedlists as security fixes keep coming.

◆ Current state

MISP is deep in a security-remediation cycle: 2.5.46, 2.5.47, 2.5.48 and now 2.5.50 each ship externally reported fixes, and 2.4.221 backported 57 of them to the EOL branch. 2.5.47 added PostgreSQL support and a first AI-assisted analysis integration. 2.5.50 moves Redis host settings to CLI-only and closes event-index and object-search information leaks. It also starts deleting legacy features outright.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is shifting from adding hardening patches to shrinking its attack surface. In 2.5.50, event discussions become analyst notes, legacy templates become event templates, and signature allowedlists become warninglists, with migrations and logged failures. Combined with the Overmind UI migration and the database abstraction, this looks like a deliberate cleanup of the 2.5 codebase.

◆ Prediction

Expect further legacy features to be migrated and removed in the next releases, alongside more advisories from the ongoing review. Admins with workflows on the removed discussion trigger will need to adapt.

5.0

Sonarr 5.0 adds TMDb import lists and proper multi-season pack handling.

◆ Current state

Sonarr keeps publishing 5.0 test builds every few days. Build 2870 adds TMDb import lists, shows every season in a multi-season pack and adds a Multi-Season Pack release type. Accessibility work continues, with download context on queue buttons and release names on history actions. Earlier builds added Trakt Smart Lists, OIDC Remember Me and a redesigned episode details view.

◆ Where it's heading

5.0 is still mixing contributor features with accessibility and UI polish. New import sources (Trakt, then TMDb) show the feature door is more open than earlier builds suggested, while Basic Auth removal and file safety defaults set its stricter baseline.

◆ Prediction

Expect more accessibility and calendar fixes before 5.0 reaches the stable channel. Contributor features may keep landing, so the timing of that release remains unclear.
