What is Auth0?

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

What is Jackett?

Jackett's daily tags keep chasing tracker sites, two indexer edits at a time

Every release in this window is a handful of indexer definition edits: a config note about IP filtering on newstudio and IPv6-only handling for anisource in the newest tag, and before it a steady run of domain bumps, trackers added and removed, and category mappings corrected. The bodies are auto-generated commit lists.

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

◆ Current state

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads dominate. One is agent and delegation infrastructure — Agents as Principal, Token Vault Privileged Worker, Custom Token Exchange session delegation — all still in Early Access. The other is tenant self-service: rate limits, blocklists, organization search and roles, global search. Auth0 is systematically converting things that required support intervention into API-configurable policy.

◆ Prediction

The Early Access items now stacking up, particularly the agent-identity pieces, are the obvious GA candidates next, following the Flexible Password Policy path from Early Access to general availability.

Jackett's daily tags keep chasing tracker sites, two indexer edits at a time

◆ Current state

Every release in this window is a handful of indexer definition edits: a config note about IP filtering on newstudio and IPv6-only handling for anisource in the newest tag, and before it a steady run of domain bumps, trackers added and removed, and category mappings corrected. The bodies are auto-generated commit lists.

◆ Where it's heading

This is maintenance as a product. Trackers move domains, change authentication, or disappear, and Jackett ships a tag the same morning; Scenetime was added and dropped within days, 720pier removed and restored by revert. Nothing in the release stream suggests work on the application itself rather than on the definitions it carries.

◆ Prediction

Expect the same daily cadence of indexer edits, with the churn concentrated on domain changes and authentication method switches.
