What is Radarr?

Radarr's maintenance run finally carries a few things users will see

6.4.3.10645 is a fuller release than the recent run: Trusted Networks and hostname validation arrive from the shared *arr base, external IDs are included for movies with links and shown only for the main link group, movies can be searched by original title from the page header, and days of the week use translations. The fix list covers Freebox single-file imports, re-importing an already-imported torrent, invalid languages stored in the database or hit during manual import, and connecting to Jellyfin 12 and later.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.

Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

Radarr's maintenance run finally carries a few things users will see

◆ Current state

6.4.3.10645 is a fuller release than the recent run: Trusted Networks and hostname validation arrive from the shared *arr base, external IDs are included for movies with links and shown only for the main link group, movies can be searched by original title from the page header, and days of the week use translations. The fix list covers Freebox single-file imports, re-importing an already-imported torrent, invalid languages stored in the database or hit during manual import, and connecting to Jellyfin 12 and later.

◆ Where it's heading

Reliability with third-party services remains the axis the work actually moves on — Freebox, Jellyfin, torrent re-import and language handling are all cases of another system behaving in a way Radarr had not accounted for. The framework-level additions in this release are inherited rather than chosen: Trusted Networks, hostname validation and health-check reasons appear identically in Prowlarr on the same day. The genuinely Radarr-specific additions are small search and metadata conveniences, which is the first time in two months the visible surface has moved at all.

◆ Prediction

Expect the external ID and original-title work to continue as metadata breadth rather than becoming a feature cycle, since that is the only axis on which this application has grown recently. The notes give no sign of a larger change.

6.3

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

◆ Where it's heading

Each beta adds a piece that larger teams need: SSO and SCIM, governance through ownership and lifecycle rules, and now machine access through MCP and scoped tokens. 3.0 is becoming an AI-accessible knowledge base with enterprise controls rather than a straight successor to 2.x.

◆ Prediction

Expect MCP tools to be tied to the new PAT scopes and page rules, and the beta cadence to keep adding governance features before a release candidate.
