What is Harbor?

Harbor 2.15 patches swap Redis for Valkey and tighten registry security.

Harbor is shipping 2.15.x patch candidates with security and dependency work. 2.15.2 replaced Redis with Valkey as the cache backend and moved to Go 1.26. 2.15.3 added a manifest upload size limit, blocked proxy-cache poisoning through robot-name prefixes and neutralised CSV formulas in scan exports. 2.15.4-rc1 relaxes two defaults that had caused regressions: webhooks can reach private networks and legacy signer pulls are allowed.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet follows AI Builder 3 on LTS with Salesforce and signup fixes.

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line that carries fixes and selected features, and a beta line where larger work lands first. v3.20.241-lts brought AI Builder release 3, tying AI-built apps into the enterprise app lifecycle. The two releases since are fixes: Salesforce multi-user OAuth now uses PKCE, the signup endpoint respects the instance-level ENABLE_SIGNUP toggle, and a canvas drop bug is gone.

Harbor 2.15 patches swap Redis for Valkey and tighten registry security.

◆ Current state

Harbor is shipping 2.15.x patch candidates with security and dependency work. 2.15.2 replaced Redis with Valkey as the cache backend and moved to Go 1.26. 2.15.3 added a manifest upload size limit, blocked proxy-cache poisoning through robot-name prefixes and neutralised CSV formulas in scan exports. 2.15.4-rc1 relaxes two defaults that had caused regressions: webhooks can reach private networks and legacy signer pulls are allowed.

◆ Where it's heading

The patch line is closing abuse paths in a registry many teams expose internally, while walking back defaults that broke existing setups. The Valkey switch shows Harbor following the wider move off Redis after its licence change.

◆ Prediction

Expect 2.15.4 to go final with the restored defaults and a refreshed Trivy; the entries don't show what the next minor release contains.

ToolJet follows AI Builder 3 on LTS with Salesforce and signup fixes.

◆ Current state

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line that carries fixes and selected features, and a beta line where larger work lands first. v3.20.241-lts brought AI Builder release 3, tying AI-built apps into the enterprise app lifecycle. The two releases since are fixes: Salesforce multi-user OAuth now uses PKCE, the signup endpoint respects the instance-level ENABLE_SIGNUP toggle, and a canvas drop bug is gone.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run in parallel: making ToolJet manageable for larger orgs through enterprise connectors, scoped access and bulk user administration, and steadily promoting the AI Builder from beta into LTS. The latest patches close gaps in that enterprise work, such as Salesforce auth and signup controls, rather than opening new fronts.

◆ Prediction

Expect further AI Builder releases on LTS that extend lifecycle controls (promotion, environments, permissions) to AI-built apps, alongside more admin and access-control APIs.
