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.

What is Softr?

Softr adds a one-click path off Airtable, moving data, automations and apps onto Softr Database.

Softr now offers a Migrate from Airtable flow that imports bases and automations into Softr Database and copies an existing app onto it for testing before the switch. The same week brought record grouping in the database and a 90-day credit usage history for workflows. Earlier in October it added in-app notifications, workspace folders, public database sharing, and official connector listings on Claude and ChatGPT.

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.

6.3

Softr adds a one-click path off Airtable, moving data, automations and apps onto Softr Database.

◆ Current state

Softr now offers a Migrate from Airtable flow that imports bases and automations into Softr Database and copies an existing app onto it for testing before the switch. The same week brought record grouping in the database and a 90-day credit usage history for workflows. Earlier in October it added in-app notifications, workspace folders, public database sharing, and official connector listings on Claude and ChatGPT.

◆ Where it's heading

Softr is turning from a front end for other people's data into a full stack it owns: its own database, workflows billed in credits, and now a migration path away from the data source many customers started on. The MCP work in September and the Claude and ChatGPT listings keep the AI-access thread running alongside.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Softr Database features that close gaps with Airtable (views, field types, automations), and more credit visibility as workflow billing grows.
