What is Huginn?

Huginn wakes from a four-year silence and spends it hardening multi-user instances.

After no releases between August 2022 and August 2026, Huginn has shipped seven dated releases in seven weeks. The first two were security releases: command injection, cross-user OAuth binding, arbitrary file reads, and same-origin script execution. Later releases added an egress proxy against internal-address fetches, a JSONPath method allowlist, a separate-process job runner with a watchdog, and moves to Ruby 4, MySQL 8.4 and PostgreSQL 18.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet's latest tags are maintenance; the AI Builder features still wait on beta.

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line for fixes and promoted features and a beta line for larger work. The newest LTS tag, v3.20.246, fixes uneditable rows in the 'Add new rows' popup and adds Tabs tests; the newest beta, v3.21.78, only adds security guideline docs. The substantive recent LTS changes were keyboard accessibility across widgets, a SCIM filter fix and v2 APIs for workspace user metadata.

Huginn vs ToolJet: editorial side-by-side

Huginn wakes from a four-year silence and spends it hardening multi-user instances.

◆ Current state

After no releases between August 2022 and August 2026, Huginn has shipped seven dated releases in seven weeks. The first two were security releases: command injection, cross-user OAuth binding, arbitrary file reads, and same-origin script execution. Later releases added an egress proxy against internal-address fetches, a JSONPath method allowlist, a separate-process job runner with a watchdog, and moves to Ruby 4, MySQL 8.4 and PostgreSQL 18.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is a maintainer paying down years of security and runtime debt, in that order. Fixes have shifted from advisories toward operational reliability (job recovery, lock timeouts, check deduplication) and deployment cleanup (Heroku-24, dropping OpenShift and Cloud Foundry, a rewritten Docker-first README). Several releases ship breaking defaults with upgrade notes and conservative migrations rather than avoiding change.

◆ Prediction

Expect more roughly fortnightly dated releases on runtime, dependency and deployment upkeep. The entries show no new Agent types yet, so whether feature work returns is unclear.

ToolJet's latest tags are maintenance; the AI Builder features still wait on beta.

◆ Current state

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line for fixes and promoted features and a beta line for larger work. The newest LTS tag, v3.20.246, fixes uneditable rows in the 'Add new rows' popup and adds Tabs tests; the newest beta, v3.21.78, only adds security guideline docs. The substantive recent LTS changes were keyboard accessibility across widgets, a SCIM filter fix and v2 APIs for workspace user metadata.

◆ Where it's heading

Enterprise readiness remains the common thread: a v2 external API growing one resource at a time, identity-provider fixes and accessibility work. AI Builder attachments, GPT-6.1 Sol and tighter metered Cloud limits still sit on the beta line.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder attachments, GPT-6.1 Sol and the new plan limits to reach an LTS tag, as AI Builder release 3 did. More v2 admin endpoints are likely along the way.
