Lidarr

COLLAB
Velocity5.0

Music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent

Lidarr 3.1 maintains a steady patch cadence with targeted bug fixes and no significant new features in the last six months.

Current state
Lidarr is shipping maintenance releases approximately every four to six weeks on the 3.1 branch. Each release contains a small number of targeted fixes — missing album search disablement, manual import release group correction, Spotify lookup rate limiting. The project is in a stable maintenance phase with no announced new capabilities.
Where it's heading
The release pattern over the last ten months shows consistent maintenance without any feature releases or minor version bumps beyond 3.1.0 to 3.1.5. Spotify API rate limit handling (3.1.3) and indexer bug fixes are the substantive improvements; the project is in steady-state for its core use case as an automated music collection manager.
Prediction
The next likely move is a 3.2.x feature release — the 3.1 branch has been stable long enough to expect a new development cycle — but none is signaled in these entries. Rate limit improvements for additional music metadata APIs are the most likely incremental additions.
