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

media automationself-hostedaccessibilityimport lists
◆Current state
Sonarr keeps publishing 5.0 test builds every few days. Build 2907 replaces the interactive search table with cards, marks advanced settings and moves fewer settings behind that label, and cuts duplicate requests on load. Build 2870 added TMDb import lists and a Multi-Season Pack release type. Accessibility work continues, with more context on System page and Manual Import 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.
