What is Greenbone Vulnerability Manager?
Greenbone's scanner daemon is growing a web-application scanning class beside its network roots.
gvmd releases every week or two, and the changelog splits cleanly in three: a sustained build-out of web application scanning, a rewrite of how reports are modeled and exported, and a long tail of memory-management fixes in the C core. Recent versions added web application scanner preferences, scanner verification, and a Web Application VT subtype with a database migration. The report work moved from ad-hoc XML toward a structured report model addressable through new GMP commands.
What is ToolJet?
Observability lands on OpenTelemetry semconv in the LTS train
ToolJet runs two lines in parallel and both are in a steady groove. The LTS train picked up frontend and app observability built on OpenTelemetry semantic conventions plus primary and backup access, following a 3.20.212 release that carried the substantive feature batch — dynamic height across Timeline, Filepicker, Reorderable List, RadioButtonV2 and Tags, dynamic number formats on Currency Input, camera flip on mobile, and AI build notifications. The beta line is mostly fixes and LTS cherry-picks.

Greenbone Vulnerability Manager
6.3INFRA · APIS
Greenbone's scanner daemon is growing a web-application scanning class beside its network roots.
◆ Current state
gvmd releases every week or two, and the changelog splits cleanly in three: a sustained build-out of web application scanning, a rewrite of how reports are modeled and exported, and a long tail of memory-management fixes in the C core. Recent versions added web application scanner preferences, scanner verification, and a Web Application VT subtype with a database migration. The report work moved from ad-hoc XML toward a structured report model addressable through new GMP commands.
◆ Where it's heading
Greenbone is widening what gvmd can orchestrate. Network and container scanning were the existing surface; web application scanning is being brought to parity, with its own VT class, preferences, validation, and verification path. In parallel the GMP protocol is gaining first-class report retrieval commands, which makes report data consumable by tooling rather than only renderable. The bug-fix stream is dominated by frees and cleanup in long-lived report paths, the signature of a codebase under memory pressure at scale.
◆ Prediction
Web Application VTs now have a subtype, a migration, and scanner verification, but the audit and scan report commands were added separately; expect the report model work to fold web application results into the same structured retrieval path rather than leaving a parallel one.

Observability lands on OpenTelemetry semconv in the LTS train
◆ Current state
ToolJet runs two lines in parallel and both are in a steady groove. The LTS train picked up frontend and app observability built on OpenTelemetry semantic conventions plus primary and backup access, following a 3.20.212 release that carried the substantive feature batch — dynamic height across Timeline, Filepicker, Reorderable List, RadioButtonV2 and Tags, dynamic number formats on Currency Input, camera flip on mobile, and AI build notifications. The beta line is mostly fixes and LTS cherry-picks.
◆ Where it's heading
Most releases are small and corrective, with feature work collecting into occasional larger LTS drops. The recurring themes are component sizing, which appears in nearly every release, and enterprise-operations work — global data source certificates, automated RDS SSL setup, CVE patching, and now standards-based observability. It reads as a platform hardening for self-hosted enterprise deployments.
◆ Prediction
Expect the dynamic-height and sizing pass to continue across the remaining widgets, and the beta line's AI datasource integrations to graduate into the LTS train. Standardizing on OTel semconv suggests exported traces and metrics for customer-run dashboards next.
