Sonarr 4.0.x ships steady patch maintenance with no feature moves this cycle

tv-managementautomationself-hostedmedia-server
Current state
Sonarr's 4.0.19.x and 4.0.20.x releases are nearly pure maintenance — the majority of entries are changelog-link-only patches with no documented user-facing changes. The one visible user-facing addition in this window is Jellyfin/Emby connection testing and a new Jellyfin auth header in v4.0.19.2995, keeping pace with upstream media server API changes.
Where it's heading
Sonarr is in maintenance mode for its 4.0.x branch. Tracker and media server compatibility updates are the steady-state output, with no signal of a major capability expansion or version bump. The Jellyfin auth header update confirms the team is responding to upstream API changes rather than driving new feature development.
Prediction
Continued patch maintenance for tracker and media server compatibility. A 4.1.x release would be the meaningful signal to watch, but nothing in the entries suggests it is imminent.
