What is Redocly?

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

What is Sonarr?

Sonarr 5.0 builds add Trakt Smart Lists, OIDC Remember Me and more accessibility fixes.

Sonarr is publishing 5.0 test builds every few days. Recent ones added a Trakt Smart List import, an option to pass seed time to qBittorrent as an inactive-seeding limit, Remember Me for OIDC login and lower-memory media info migration. Accessibility work continues, with screen-reader feedback for form errors, named icon-only controls and an accessible Calendar.

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

◆ Current state

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run together: an agent inside Reunite that does recurring docs work (feedback and discovery) and is gaining scheduling and scoping controls, and enterprise plumbing such as SCIM scale, Git token rotation and permission fixes. Last week's configurable docs MCP server points the same way, with Redocly adding AI surfaces and making them configurable in redocly.yaml.

◆ Prediction

Expect more reunite.agent duty types or options in @redocly/config, and the experimental diff command moving toward a documented API-change check.

5.0

Sonarr 5.0 builds add Trakt Smart Lists, OIDC Remember Me and more accessibility fixes.

◆ Current state

Sonarr is publishing 5.0 test builds every few days. Recent ones added a Trakt Smart List import, an option to pass seed time to qBittorrent as an inactive-seeding limit, Remember Me for OIDC login and lower-memory media info migration. Accessibility work continues, with screen-reader feedback for form errors, named icon-only controls and an accessible Calendar.

◆ Where it's heading

5.0 is in a polish phase: each build mixes small features from contributors with accessibility and UI fixes, after the earlier builds removed Basic Auth and tightened file safety. The pace suggests the team is converging on a stable 5.0.

◆ Prediction

Expect more accessibility and migration fixes before 5.0 reaches the stable channel; new large features look unlikely this late.
