Sonarr 5.0 swaps its interactive search table for cards and trims what counts as advanced.

media automationself-hostedaccessibilityimport lists
◆Current state
Sonarr keeps publishing 5.0 test builds every few days. Build 2941 turns multi-season packs from a release type into something users can actually import, compacts API JSON responses and cuts memory used while parsing them, and stops logging the Postgres password during migrations. Build 2907 replaced the interactive search table with cards. Accessibility work continues on settings and filter buttons.
◆Where it's heading
5.0 is still mixing contributor features with interface rework and accessibility polish. Performance work now joins it, with cache updates, import list sync and load-time requests all optimized in one build. Basic Auth removal and file safety defaults set its stricter baseline.
◆Prediction
Expect more interface and accessibility fixes before 5.0 reaches the stable channel. Larger changes are still landing in test builds, so the timing of that release remains unclear.

    Sonarr 5.0 build 2941: multi-season pack imports, leaner JSON

    Build 2941 completes the multi-season pack work started in 2870 by allowing those packs to be imported, and trims API payloads and JSON parsing memory. The Postgres password no longer lands in migration logs, a quiet but real fix before 5.0 leaves testing.
