LibreELEC vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is LibreELEC?
LibreELEC's changelog stops dead at the 12.0 release in May 2024
The only entries available cover the LibreELEC 12 cycle — two betas and the 12.0.0 release — and the most recent of them is from May 2024. Their content is what a distribution release looks like: kernel bumps to 6.6, Mesa updates, Kodi moving through its Omega release candidates, wireless driver refreshes, and addon packaging work including a Podman addon. Nothing after 12.0.0 appears in the feed at all.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet's AI builder goes model-agnostic with a multi-model catalog and MCP server baked into the enterprise image.
ToolJet has shifted its core narrative from low-code app builder to AI-powered app builder. In the past two weeks alone: MCP server packaging bundled into the EE production image, a multi-model build system with a visual model picker and effort variants, and AI build notifications wired into the canvas. The beta branch (v3.21.x) is a steady feed of component-level improvements while the LTS branch (v3.20.x) is now absorbing the AI infrastructure.

LibreELEC's changelog stops dead at the 12.0 release in May 2024
◆ Current state
The only entries available cover the LibreELEC 12 cycle — two betas and the 12.0.0 release — and the most recent of them is from May 2024. Their content is what a distribution release looks like: kernel bumps to 6.6, Mesa updates, Kodi moving through its Omega release candidates, wireless driver refreshes, and addon packaging work including a Podman addon. Nothing after 12.0.0 appears in the feed at all.
◆ Where it's heading
Nothing in this data supports a claim about where LibreELEC is heading today, because the record ends more than two years ago. What the LE12 cycle itself shows is a project whose release content is almost entirely upstream integration — the value it adds is assembling a working appliance image around Kodi and a current kernel, not shipping features of its own.
◆ Prediction
No prediction is possible from these entries. With no releases recorded since May 2024, the feed has either stopped being updated or is pointed at a source the project no longer publishes to, and that should be resolved before this product's activity is read as real.
ToolJet
7.5INFRA · APIS
ToolJet's AI builder goes model-agnostic with a multi-model catalog and MCP server baked into the enterprise image.
◆ Current state
ToolJet has shifted its core narrative from low-code app builder to AI-powered app builder. In the past two weeks alone: MCP server packaging bundled into the EE production image, a multi-model build system with a visual model picker and effort variants, and AI build notifications wired into the canvas. The beta branch (v3.21.x) is a steady feed of component-level improvements while the LTS branch (v3.20.x) is now absorbing the AI infrastructure.
◆ Where it's heading
ToolJet is building the infrastructure to make its AI builder run any model from any provider, not just OpenAI. The model catalog with effort variants (presumably mapping to cost/speed tradeoffs) and the bundled MCP server position ToolJet as a platform that AI agents can drive — not just a tool humans use to build apps. The Confluence marketplace integration points to continued enterprise integrations.
◆ Prediction
The MCP server now in the EE image will likely get documented API coverage in the next 2–3 releases, making ToolJet a programmable target for external AI agents. A new Basic plan suggests pricing restructuring; look for the AI builder features to be tiered behind higher plans.
