What is Gitea?

Gitea has switched to version 28 numbering; its feed has caught only the dev tags.

Gitea's feed captures release candidates and development tags, not final releases. The newest entry is a v29.0.0-dev tag on September 29 that adds the changelog for 28.0.0, which means Gitea has switched from 1.x numbering to major versions. Before that the visible entries were 1.26.0-rc0 in April, with Actions concurrency and a Terraform state registry, and 1.27.0-rc0 in June, with owner-level and global workflows and access-control fixes.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet's beta adds data source folders, database environments and git sync for workflows.

ToolJet runs two release lines: an LTS track that took AI Builder releases 4 and 5 and a custom-component CLI in late October, and a beta track that moves faster. Beta v3.21.87 on November 2 adds folders for data sources, environments for ToolJet Database, and git sync for workflows. The same release closes several tenant-isolation bugs, including an IDOR in page and component lookups and imports that trusted a client-supplied organization ID.

Gitea has switched to version 28 numbering; its feed has caught only the dev tags.

◆ Current state

Gitea's feed captures release candidates and development tags, not final releases. The newest entry is a v29.0.0-dev tag on September 29 that adds the changelog for 28.0.0, which means Gitea has switched from 1.x numbering to major versions. Before that the visible entries were 1.26.0-rc0 in April, with Actions concurrency and a Terraform state registry, and 1.27.0-rc0 in June, with owner-level and global workflows and access-control fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

Actions has been the main area of change across the 1.26 and 1.27 candidates, with reusable and scoped workflows, alongside repeated access-control fixes. The move to 28.0.0 numbering marks a new release scheme, but the feed has not captured its releases.

◆ Prediction

The feed is likely to keep showing dev tags rather than finals; the next visible entry may be a v29 release candidate.

5.0

ToolJet's beta adds data source folders, database environments and git sync for workflows.

◆ Current state

ToolJet runs two release lines: an LTS track that took AI Builder releases 4 and 5 and a custom-component CLI in late October, and a beta track that moves faster. Beta v3.21.87 on November 2 adds folders for data sources, environments for ToolJet Database, and git sync for workflows. The same release closes several tenant-isolation bugs, including an IDOR in page and component lookups and imports that trusted a client-supplied organization ID.

◆ Where it's heading

The beta line is filling in the structure larger teams need, with environments, folders, version control and permission scopes, while the LTS line absorbs AI Builder releases a few days at a time. The security fixes in the same beta point to an audit of multi-tenant boundaries.

◆ Prediction

Expect the beta's environments, folders and tenant-isolation fixes to reach the LTS line in a coming patch, as AI Builder releases did in October.
