Dashy vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is Dashy?
Dashy ships a release per merged PR — the real 4.5 features are already scrolling off the feed.
The self-hosted dashboard cuts a version for essentially every merged pull request, so the recent window is a mix of dependabot bumps, German translations, an out-of-memory fix from unclosed secureConnect listeners, OIDC post-logout redirect support, and new sorting by provider and item ID. The 4.5.0 release that carries the substance — drag-and-drop editing of sections, items and widgets, a rebuilt GitHub stats widget on the official API, and number formatting in the custom-api widget — sits just outside this window.
What is ToolJet?
An LTS patch train quietly absorbing security fixes and multi-model AI switching
ToolJet's 3.20.x LTS line ships near-daily patch tags, most carrying a single merged PR. The substantive items in the current window are LLM switching with query transformation in the AI layer, two-factor authentication, a fix for cross-tenant vulnerabilities in ToolJet DB, and CSV import for ToolJet DB. Everything else is single-fix housekeeping - event handler ordering, layout deduplication, signup guard changes.

Dashy
6.3INFRA · APIS
Dashy ships a release per merged PR — the real 4.5 features are already scrolling off the feed.
◆ Current state
The self-hosted dashboard cuts a version for essentially every merged pull request, so the recent window is a mix of dependabot bumps, German translations, an out-of-memory fix from unclosed secureConnect listeners, OIDC post-logout redirect support, and new sorting by provider and item ID. The 4.5.0 release that carries the substance — drag-and-drop editing of sections, items and widgets, a rebuilt GitHub stats widget on the official API, and number formatting in the custom-api widget — sits just outside this window.
◆ Where it's heading
Development is steady and community-driven, with a maintainer handling auth and stability while contributors add widgets, sorting and translations. The direction after 4.5.0 is refinement rather than expansion: fix what the new editing surface exposed, round out OIDC, keep dependencies current. The per-PR release cadence makes the feed noisy relative to how much actually changes.
◆ Prediction
Expect the 4.5.x patch stream to continue at roughly a release every few days, dominated by dependency bumps and follow-up fixes to the drag-and-drop editor. Larger features will land in a 4.6 cut rather than trickling through patches.

An LTS patch train quietly absorbing security fixes and multi-model AI switching
◆ Current state
ToolJet's 3.20.x LTS line ships near-daily patch tags, most carrying a single merged PR. The substantive items in the current window are LLM switching with query transformation in the AI layer, two-factor authentication, a fix for cross-tenant vulnerabilities in ToolJet DB, and CSV import for ToolJet DB. Everything else is single-fix housekeeping - event handler ordering, layout deduplication, signup guard changes.
◆ Where it's heading
The LTS branch is doing two jobs at once. It is the stability line, which explains the volume of one-PR tags, but real capability is still landing on it - AI model switching and CSV import are not backports of cosmetic fixes. The security items are the more telling signal: two-factor authentication and a cross-tenant isolation fix arriving in the same tag point at a product being hardened for multi-tenant deployments where one customer's data reaching another is the failure that matters.
◆ Prediction
Expect the 3.20.x LTS cadence to continue at roughly a tag a day with further AI-layer work following the LLM switching groundwork. The entries do not show what is happening on the non-LTS branch, so how much of this originates there is not visible here.
