What is Sonarr?

Sonarr 5.0 swaps its interactive search table for cards and trims what counts as advanced.

Sonarr keeps publishing 5.0 test builds every few days. Build 2941 turns multi-season packs from a release type into something users can actually import, compacts API JSON responses and cuts memory used while parsing them, and stops logging the Postgres password during migrations. Build 2907 replaced the interactive search table with cards. Accessibility work continues on settings and filter buttons.

What is Wazuh?

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

5.0

Sonarr 5.0 swaps its interactive search table for cards and trims what counts as advanced.

◆ Current state

Sonarr keeps publishing 5.0 test builds every few days. Build 2941 turns multi-season packs from a release type into something users can actually import, compacts API JSON responses and cuts memory used while parsing them, and stops logging the Postgres password during migrations. Build 2907 replaced the interactive search table with cards. Accessibility work continues on settings and filter buttons.

◆ Where it's heading

5.0 is still mixing contributor features with interface rework and accessibility polish. Performance work now joins it, with cache updates, import list sync and load-time requests all optimized in one build. Basic Auth removal and file safety defaults set its stricter baseline.

◆ Prediction

Expect more interface and accessibility fixes before 5.0 reaches the stable channel. Larger changes are still landing in test builds, so the timing of that release remains unclear.

5.0

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

◆ Current state

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

◆ Where it's heading

5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.

◆ Prediction

More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
