Navidrome vs SiYuan: at a glance
What is Navidrome?
Navidrome patches five vulnerabilities and gets Jellyfin clients working end to end.
Navidrome's only tracked release, v0.64.1, fixes five reported vulnerabilities: unthrottled Subsonic logins, SSRF and local file reads through M3U artwork, player takeover between users, and library filters skipped on three endpoints. It also makes the Manet and JellyBox Jellyfin clients sync and sign in correctly, adds Quick Connect sign-in and LAN discovery, and lets smart playlists reference other playlists.
What is SiYuan?
SiYuan 3.8.9 reaches RC, adding AI-agent extraction of images embedded in PDFs.
SiYuan moved 3.8.9 from beta.6 to rc.1 on Oct 28. The RC's only new item is AI-agent extraction of images embedded in PDFs; the rest of its long list matches beta.5's cumulative notes: pinned agent sessions, backlink filtering by database fields, block-reference collection through database automation, resizable table rows, mind-map themes and node copy/paste, TIFF previews and macOS proxy detection.

Navidrome
2.5COLLAB
Navidrome patches five vulnerabilities and gets Jellyfin clients working end to end.
◆ Current state
Navidrome's only tracked release, v0.64.1, fixes five reported vulnerabilities: unthrottled Subsonic logins, SSRF and local file reads through M3U artwork, player takeover between users, and library filters skipped on three endpoints. It also makes the Manet and JellyBox Jellyfin clients sync and sign in correctly, adds Quick Connect sign-in and LAN discovery, and lets smart playlists reference other playlists.
◆ Where it's heading
Navidrome is broadening beyond its Subsonic API roots by impersonating a Jellyfin server well enough for real Jellyfin apps to work against it. The security release shows multi-user and multi-library deployments are getting tighter permission checks as that surface grows.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Jellyfin client validation and compatibility fixes. With only one entry tracked, the larger roadmap isn't visible.
SiYuan
5.0COLLAB
SiYuan 3.8.9 reaches RC, adding AI-agent extraction of images embedded in PDFs.
◆ Current state
SiYuan moved 3.8.9 from beta.6 to rc.1 on Oct 28. The RC's only new item is AI-agent extraction of images embedded in PDFs; the rest of its long list matches beta.5's cumulative notes: pinned agent sessions, backlink filtering by database fields, block-reference collection through database automation, resizable table rows, mind-map themes and node copy/paste, TIFF previews and macOS proxy detection.
◆ Where it's heading
The 3.8.x line keeps turning databases and mind maps into structured tools that act on the block graph, and the built-in agent is gaining reach into document content such as PDFs. The release cadence is fast and noisy, with most builds repeating the same cumulative notes.
◆ Prediction
A stable 3.8.9 is likely within days, with little added beyond fixes now that it has reached RC.
