What is Cloudflare Tunnel?

cloudflared's release feed is checksums and nothing else — until a release has to warn you off itself.

The tunnel daemon ships on a calendar-versioned cadence, roughly two to four releases a month. Nine of the last ten release bodies contain only SHA256 checksums for the packaged binaries across amd64, arm64, 386, arm, FIPS Linux and the macOS and Debian/RPM packages; no changelog text accompanies them. Whatever changed in a given version is not discoverable from this feed.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet's LTS line is where the features land now, while beta collects single-line fixes.

ToolJet runs two release trains in parallel and this window makes the split obvious: the 3.20.x LTS branch carries the actual feature work — dynamic number formatting on Currency Input, dynamic height across Timeline, Filepicker, Reorderable List, RadioButtonV2 and Tags, camera flip on mobile, and AI build notifications — while the 3.21.x beta branch contributes two entries totaling three cherry-picked fixes. Security and connectivity plumbing also sits on LTS: global certificates across data source connections, automated RDS SSL setup, and a container-scan CVE sweep.

cloudflared's release feed is checksums and nothing else — until a release has to warn you off itself.

◆ Current state

The tunnel daemon ships on a calendar-versioned cadence, roughly two to four releases a month. Nine of the last ten release bodies contain only SHA256 checksums for the packaged binaries across amd64, arm64, 386, arm, FIPS Linux and the macOS and Debian/RPM packages; no changelog text accompanies them. Whatever changed in a given version is not discoverable from this feed.

◆ Where it's heading

The publishing pattern is stable and unlikely to change: release notes live elsewhere, and the feed functions as a distribution manifest. The one exception in this window is instructive — 2026.8.0 was amended after the fact to carry a known-issue warning, which is why it now carries a later timestamp than the 2026.8.1 release that superseded it. That is the only mechanism by which this feed communicates anything: a release gets edited when it turns out to be unsafe to run.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued checksum-only releases every two to three weeks, with substantive text appearing only when another regression forces a retroactive warning.

5.0

ToolJet's LTS line is where the features land now, while beta collects single-line fixes.

◆ Current state

ToolJet runs two release trains in parallel and this window makes the split obvious: the 3.20.x LTS branch carries the actual feature work — dynamic number formatting on Currency Input, dynamic height across Timeline, Filepicker, Reorderable List, RadioButtonV2 and Tags, camera flip on mobile, and AI build notifications — while the 3.21.x beta branch contributes two entries totaling three cherry-picked fixes. Security and connectivity plumbing also sits on LTS: global certificates across data source connections, automated RDS SSL setup, and a container-scan CVE sweep.

◆ Where it's heading

The component-level work is converging on one complaint — layout that does not adapt — with dynamic height now applied to six widget types across three releases. The AI thread is quieter here than in the recent beta history but has not stopped: AI build notifications ship in 3.20.212-LTS, and 3.20.209 lists a batch of AI feature fixes, which suggests the AI builder is now in the maintenance phase that follows a launch rather than the expansion phase.

◆ Prediction

Expect dynamic height to keep spreading to the remaining widgets, since it has arrived in three consecutive LTS releases. The beta branch looks likely to stay a staging area for LTS cherry-picks until the next minor opens.
