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 GitHub?

GitHub Copilot tightens enterprise governance while AI security scanning drops its CodeQL prerequisite

GitHub is shipping across two parallel tracks: expanding Copilot's enterprise control surface with model selection tiers, VS Code Agents usage metrics, and governance tooling, while hardening security primitives with the SHA-1 HTTPS sunset and Advanced Security configuration enforcement. The Copilot auto model selection now exposes three cost/quality tiers (efficiency, balance, intelligence), giving enterprises meaningful tradeoffs without requiring manual model pinning.

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.

GitHub Copilot tightens enterprise governance while AI security scanning drops its CodeQL prerequisite

◆ Current state

GitHub is shipping across two parallel tracks: expanding Copilot's enterprise control surface with model selection tiers, VS Code Agents usage metrics, and governance tooling, while hardening security primitives with the SHA-1 HTTPS sunset and Advanced Security configuration enforcement. The Copilot auto model selection now exposes three cost/quality tiers (efficiency, balance, intelligence), giving enterprises meaningful tradeoffs without requiring manual model pinning.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is consolidation, not expansion: GitHub is making existing Copilot features more configurable, auditable, and lockable at the enterprise level. With Advanced Security enforcement now allowing enterprise admins to lock down settings below the organization level, the next moves are likely compliance reporting and policy management rather than new AI capabilities. The AI Scan prerequisite removal broadens adoption without requiring a new architecture.

◆ Prediction

Expect Copilot governance tooling — seat-level usage policies, cost attribution, and API access to usage metrics — to deepen over the next quarter as enterprise procurement teams demand chargeback and compliance controls.
