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 GitHub?

GitHub sets a December 8 cutoff for ARM32 Actions runners and opens AI Scan to the API.

GitHub's week splits between Copilot supply and platform upkeep. Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon reached general availability in Copilot, issue types reached personal-account repositories, and enterprise GitHub Apps can assign Copilot seats. Since then it has added REST control over code scanning's AI Scan, a Cloudflare service-token detector and direct links to public monitoring alerts, and announced that hosted Actions runners stop running ARM32 jobs on December 8.

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.

GitHub sets a December 8 cutoff for ARM32 Actions runners and opens AI Scan to the API.

◆ Current state

GitHub's week splits between Copilot supply and platform upkeep. Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon reached general availability in Copilot, issue types reached personal-account repositories, and enterprise GitHub Apps can assign Copilot seats. Since then it has added REST control over code scanning's AI Scan, a Cloudflare service-token detector and direct links to public monitoring alerts, and announced that hosted Actions runners stop running ARM32 jobs on December 8.

◆ Where it's heading

Two deadlines now land on December 8: Dependabot alerts pausing on year-idle repositories and the end of ARM32 job execution on hosted runners. GitHub is pruning what it supports while putting its AI security features behind APIs that organizations can script.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Scan to move from public preview toward general availability with more organization-level controls, and more retirement notices timed around December 8.
