Is it safe to update Prowlarr?
Tracking Prowlarr/Prowlarr
Update with care.
The release introduces meaningful behavioral changes — including a new Postgres connection string option, qBittorrent authentication overhaul (API keys, basic auth, cookie handling), and a MyAnonamouse download method change — that users relying on those integrations should review before updating. Non-docker users are explicitly instructed to switch their update branch to 'master' in Settings, and docker users must update the container image rather than updating in-place. No hard migration steps or data-breaking changes are called out, but the auth and integration changes warrant a quick read.
What changed
v2.4.0.5397 delivers a range of fixes and new capabilities. qBittorrent integration sees the most attention: basic auth is fixed, API key support is added, authentication cookie reuse is improved, and a bug where credential-change tests always passed is resolved. Newznab parameter handling is corrected for minage, minsize, and maxsize fields, and a limit=0 query bug is also fixed. New features include a Postgres connection string option, Basic Auth support for sync applications, and a MyAnonamouse switch to session-cookie-free downloads. The runtime is bumped to .NET 8.0.27, and several indexers (SecretCinema, MyAnonamouse, ZonaQ, SceneTime) receive fixes or updates.
