What is Pydio Cells?

Cells 5.1 gives tag values their own access policies and endpoints.

v5.1.0 adds access policies for Entity Values, the metadata store v5 introduced, with dedicated CRUD endpoints replacing implicit parsing from JsonDefinition and an admin flag that stops end users adding new tag values. v5.0.3 a week earlier was startup and etcd stabilisation, plus Collabora action buttons that administrators can hide. The newest feed entry is v4.4.18, which brings a NATS JetStream fix and Collabora feature controls to the older line.

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.

Pydio Cells vs Radarr: editorial side-by-side

P2.5

Cells 5.1 gives tag values their own access policies and endpoints.

◆ Current state

v5.1.0 adds access policies for Entity Values, the metadata store v5 introduced, with dedicated CRUD endpoints replacing implicit parsing from JsonDefinition and an admin flag that stops end users adding new tag values. v5.0.3 a week earlier was startup and etcd stabilisation, plus Collabora action buttons that administrators can hide. The newest feed entry is v4.4.18, which brings a NATS JetStream fix and Collabora feature controls to the older line.

◆ Where it's heading

After v5's broad rebuild and a sync-focused repair tail, work has moved to governing what v5 created: who may read, edit or extend metadata. The service code follows, with namespace, entity and value handling split apart. v4.4.18 shows the previous major line is still maintained alongside v5.

◆ Prediction

Expect 5.1.x fixes around Entity Value migration and the refactored metadata service, and further v4.4 maintenance. The entries give no end date for v4 support.

2.5

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.
