What is Nextcloud?

Nextcloud ships three patch lines in a day as 35.0.2 adds webhook metadata and a report API.

Nextcloud released 35.0.2, 34.0.5 and 33.0.10 on the same day, a month after the 35.0.0 major that swapped OnlyOffice for Euro-Office and added FrankenPHP support. The backports share a security-flavored core: a CSRF token on the share-accept endpoint, upload checks against session and share tokens, and logs that no longer leak sensitive data. 35.0.2 also adds richer node-webhook metadata, webhook-compatible comment events and an API for system-report sections.

What is Radarr?

Radarr's maintenance run finally carries a few things users will see

6.4.3.10645 is a fuller release than the recent run: Trusted Networks and hostname validation arrive from the shared *arr base, external IDs are included for movies with links and shown only for the main link group, movies can be searched by original title from the page header, and days of the week use translations. The fix list covers Freebox single-file imports, re-importing an already-imported torrent, invalid languages stored in the database or hit during manual import, and connecting to Jellyfin 12 and later.

Nextcloud ships three patch lines in a day as 35.0.2 adds webhook metadata and a report API.

◆ Current state

Nextcloud released 35.0.2, 34.0.5 and 33.0.10 on the same day, a month after the 35.0.0 major that swapped OnlyOffice for Euro-Office and added FrankenPHP support. The backports share a security-flavored core: a CSRF token on the share-accept endpoint, upload checks against session and share tokens, and logs that no longer leak sensitive data. 35.0.2 also adds richer node-webhook metadata, webhook-compatible comment events and an API for system-report sections.

◆ Where it's heading

The patch stream is still dominated by sharing permissions, resharer caps and encryption cache fixes, now applied across three supported branches at once. The small additions in 35.0.2, webhooks and the 'Unified Sharing Legacy Sync' groundwork, point to sharing being rebuilt under the hood and to more automation hooks for integrators. The 35 line is absorbing regressions from the major at a steady monthly pace.

◆ Prediction

Expect a 35.0.3 within a month continuing sharing and encryption fixes, with more of the unified-sharing work surfacing; the entries do not say when that rework becomes user-visible.

Radarr's maintenance run finally carries a few things users will see

◆ Current state

6.4.3.10645 is a fuller release than the recent run: Trusted Networks and hostname validation arrive from the shared *arr base, external IDs are included for movies with links and shown only for the main link group, movies can be searched by original title from the page header, and days of the week use translations. The fix list covers Freebox single-file imports, re-importing an already-imported torrent, invalid languages stored in the database or hit during manual import, and connecting to Jellyfin 12 and later.

◆ Where it's heading

Reliability with third-party services remains the axis the work actually moves on — Freebox, Jellyfin, torrent re-import and language handling are all cases of another system behaving in a way Radarr had not accounted for. The framework-level additions in this release are inherited rather than chosen: Trusted Networks, hostname validation and health-check reasons appear identically in Prowlarr on the same day. The genuinely Radarr-specific additions are small search and metadata conveniences, which is the first time in two months the visible surface has moved at all.

◆ Prediction

Expect the external ID and original-title work to continue as metadata breadth rather than becoming a feature cycle, since that is the only axis on which this application has grown recently. The notes give no sign of a larger change.
