What is AdGuard Home?

AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings

AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.

What is Apache Airflow?

Airflow's Go, Java and TypeScript SDKs all reach 1.0 on the same day.

On November 13 Apache Airflow released stable 1.0.0 SDKs for Java, TypeScript and Go within an hour. The Java SDK authors Dags natively, with dependencies, task groups, branching, Dag triggers and the Variable and task state APIs, serialized to the same format as Python Dags. The Go and TypeScript 1.0 releases are mostly last fixes after their betas. The Amazon provider 9.40.0 also went final.

AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings

◆ Current state

AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.

◆ Where it's heading

The two lines are now patched in step on security, while the 1.0 beta absorbs UI corrections and validation fixes ahead of a stable switch. The beta fixes are mostly about settings that did not save or validate correctly, which is the cleanup a new UI needs before it replaces the old one.

◆ Prediction

Expect more 1.0 betas fixing settings and validation in the new UI; the entries give no date for 1.0 stable.

7.5

Airflow's Go, Java and TypeScript SDKs all reach 1.0 on the same day.

◆ Current state

On November 13 Apache Airflow released stable 1.0.0 SDKs for Java, TypeScript and Go within an hour. The Java SDK authors Dags natively, with dependencies, task groups, branching, Dag triggers and the Variable and task state APIs, serialized to the same format as Python Dags. The Go and TypeScript 1.0 releases are mostly last fixes after their betas. The Amazon provider 9.40.0 also went final.

◆ Where it's heading

Airflow 3.4 made non-Python Dags possible as an experiment; a week later the language SDKs are declared stable. The project is turning its scheduler into a runtime that teams in Java, Go and TypeScript shops can adopt without writing Python. Provider releases keep their usual batched cadence underneath.

◆ Prediction

Expect the experimental Dag Importer and Task Loops from 3.4 to move toward stable in a 3.5 release, and SDK patch releases as first production users report issues.
