What is Knock?
Knock is hardening for enterprise buyers while its agent takes over the analysis work.
Knock ships weekly, in small, legible increments across three lanes: account governance (custom roles, passkeys), workflow primitives (wait-for-event, branch rebasing), and data ingress (Amplitude, Clay). The newest entry adds granular custom roles, which closes the last obvious gap in account-level access control. Alongside that, the in-product agent gained analytics, letting teams interrogate delivery performance without building reports.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet's LTS and beta trains both narrow to component polish and CVE patching
ToolJet runs two parallel release trains — a 3.20 LTS line and a 3.21 beta line — and this window is dominated by small fixes on both. The most substantive tag is v3.20.212-lts, which brings dynamic-height support to several widgets, a dynamic number format for Currency Input, mobile camera flip, and AI build notifications. Everything newer than it is single-issue: a table header wrap fix, a gRPC discovery freeze, a stale row-click value.

Knock is hardening for enterprise buyers while its agent takes over the analysis work.
◆ Current state
Knock ships weekly, in small, legible increments across three lanes: account governance (custom roles, passkeys), workflow primitives (wait-for-event, branch rebasing), and data ingress (Amplitude, Clay). The newest entry adds granular custom roles, which closes the last obvious gap in account-level access control. Alongside that, the in-product agent gained analytics, letting teams interrogate delivery performance without building reports.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs run in parallel. The infrastructure lane is buying enterprise credibility — roles, passkeys, audit-grade permissions — the checklist items that decide procurement rather than daily use. The data lane keeps widening what can trigger a workflow: product analytics from Amplitude, enriched rows from Clay, internal Slack channels as a destination. Together they push Knock from a notification API toward the messaging control plane, with the agent as the layer that explains what the plane did.
◆ Prediction
Expect the roles work to continue into audit logs or scoped API keys, since granular permissions without an activity trail is an incomplete enterprise story. More data sources are likely on the same cadence, with the CRM and warehouse categories the obvious remaining gaps.

ToolJet's LTS and beta trains both narrow to component polish and CVE patching
◆ Current state
ToolJet runs two parallel release trains — a 3.20 LTS line and a 3.21 beta line — and this window is dominated by small fixes on both. The most substantive tag is v3.20.212-lts, which brings dynamic-height support to several widgets, a dynamic number format for Currency Input, mobile camera flip, and AI build notifications. Everything newer than it is single-issue: a table header wrap fix, a gRPC discovery freeze, a stale row-click value.
◆ Where it's heading
The component library is where the work is going — dynamic heights, sizing modes, and overflow handling have appeared across four of the last six releases, which reads as a systematic pass over layout behaviour rather than isolated requests. The AI surface is growing quietly at the edges: build notifications here, an AI credits portal domain change, hardened guards on the AI onboarding API. Cherry-picks in both directions suggest the LTS and beta lines are being kept deliberately close.
◆ Prediction
Expect the dynamic-height and sizing pass to continue across remaining widgets, and the beta line's AI datasource integrations to graduate into the LTS train.
