About ToolJet
Two trains, one pattern: the LTS line gets hardening, the beta line gets the AI connectors.
ToolJet runs two parallel release lines and the split is stark. The 3.20 LTS train has spent the last week on security and stability — a full critical/high CVE sweep from container scanning, LDAP fixes, module repairs — with its one feature being global certificate support across data source connections plus automated RDS SSL setup. The 3.21 beta train carries the actual product work: datasource tagging and mentions, HubSpot, ServiceNow and QuickBooks AI integrations, link and password expiry controls, and group-based user filtering endpoints.
