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.

What is Telegram?

Since the May release of guest AI bots and bot-to-bot chats, it has added AI Guardians that screen new group members, smartwatch apps, a rich text editor that can also generate text, Communities linking groups, channels and bots, and Welcome Messages with buttons inside messages.

Radarr vs Telegram: editorial side-by-side

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.

Telegram's agent platform adds AI group admins, Communities and a rich text editor.

◆ Current state

Telegram keeps shipping large bundled updates every four to eight weeks. Since the May release of guest AI bots and bot-to-bot chats, it has added AI Guardians that screen new group members, smartwatch apps, a rich text editor that can also generate text, Communities linking groups, channels and bots, and Welcome Messages with buttons inside messages.

◆ Where it's heading

The bot platform is still the direction, and recent updates give bots more formal roles. AI Guardians put automated admins in charge of group entry, rich text for bots improves their output, and Communities give bots a place alongside groups and channels. Consumer polish still ships in the same bundles.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next bundle to extend automated group moderation or bot permissions. Paid access for guest AI bots is plausible, but no entry shows it yet.
