Homebridge 2.5.0 is a Matter release: new device types, and fixes for identity and cache

Homebridge 2.5.0 adds Matter device types for solar, battery, EV chargers, meters, tariffs and water heaters, and spends the rest of its list on behaviour that used to go wrong: air quality reporting only two levels, thermostats registering late, restored accessories losing their uniqueId or owner, and cache reads that took the accessory with them. It also bumps @matter/main to v0.18.0 and @homebridge/hap-nodejs to v2.3.0.

Mealie 3.30.0 lets you own the AI prompt, time each step, and plan a whole week

Mealie 3.30.0 moves AI prompt control into the app, so prompts can be appended to, replaced or extended with global instructions, and it retires the OPENAI_CUSTOM_PROMPT_DIR variable while importing existing prompts automatically. Instruction steps gain individual durations, meal plan entries can cover a full week, and a batch of fixes tightens import scoping, locale lookup and the permissions needed to manage units, tools, labels and recipe actions.

Memos 26.10.0 signs API clients out, stops reading /etc/secrets and makes export an admin job

Memos 26.10.0 is the first release under calendar versioning, and its upgrade notes matter more than its features: old installs need a 0.31.0 waypoint, cached access tokens expire on upgrade, the /etc/secrets files from 0.31.0 are no longer read, member export disappears, and the old upload and memo-length settings are replaced without migration. The features are a rich editor by default, per-user usage limits and declarative configuration.

borgmatic 2.2.0 keeps Borg deduplicating the tarballs you back up

borgmatic 2.2.0 adds a beta tarballs data source that streams a tar file into Borg as individual files, so VM exports deduplicate instead of sitting in the archive as one packed blob. The release also fixes a hang that hit database dumps with heavy output, file-descriptor exhaustion when dumping hundreds of databases, and a regression that cost ZFS, LVM and Btrfs hooks their Borg cache hits.

Paperless-ngx 3.4.0 builds workflow titles from custom fields and hands thumbnails to poppler

Paperless-ngx 3.4.0 lets workflow title templates use custom fields, adds relative date queries, and generates PDF thumbnails through poppler in the release that drops ImageMagick from the dependency list. Local 2FA is now skipped when an OIDC login carries a trusted AMR claim, and a set of quiet fixes covers re-index ordering, folder exports with --delete, and revoked task results.

Stalwart, the self-hosted mail and collaboration server, announced v1.0 on 26 October. The release finalises the database schema so upgrades stop being migrations, rewrites full-text search with phrase matching and indexing inside PDFs and office documents, and publishes the project's own benchmarks against Postfix and Dovecot.

Open WebUI 0.12.4 moves the image to Python 3.12 and tightens sharing

Open WebUI v0.12.4, published 25 October, rebuilds the Docker image on Python 3.12 and Debian 13, so pip packages inside the container need 3.12 support. It also makes Direct Integrations off actually disable saved tool servers, moves sharing changes into Access settings, and adds lazy skill loading plus visible context compaction.

Tube Archivist 0.6.0 can run as a non-root user, and the migration is not optional

Tube Archivist v0.6.0, published 25 October, can run under a dedicated non-root user, which meant removing the bundled nginx and serving media from the application. The release calls that a security improvement and a set of breaking changes: HOST_UID and HOST_GID go, ownership is yours to set, TA_BACKEND_PORT gives way to TA_PORT, media URLs changed, and Elasticsearch moves from 8.19.0 to 9.5.5.

Garage 2.5.0 makes lifecycle endpoints owner-only and will not downgrade

Garage v2.5.0, published 24 October, is the S3 store this desk named when MinIO archived its repository. It ships three upgrade notes that matter more than its feature list: no downgrading an upgraded node, bucket lifecycle endpoints restricted to owner-permission keys as a deliberate security change, and a new public_endpoint setting to add to garage.toml.

ntfy 2.33.1 rebuilds on Go 1.27.3 and makes cluster links visible

ntfy v2.33.1 rebuilds the service with Go 1.27.3 so certificate chains through the compromised eMudhra intermediates are rejected, adds per-peer and database pool metrics for its experimental cluster, and fixes the crash that hit older CPUs in 2.33.0. Take 2.33.1, not 2.33.0.

Paperless-ngx published v3.3.4 on 22 October to update certifi for the eMudhra/emSign CA incident and to pick up security fixes in Pillow and aiohttp. The project calls all of it third-party dependency work and recommends updating for everyone; the documented Docker route is a backup, a stop, a pull and a foreground start.
