What is nfs-ganesha?

NFS-Ganesha is porting its management plane from DBUS to gRPC, four major versions in a month.

NFS-Ganesha is a user-space NFS server with pluggable FSAL backends for CEPH, GPFS and others. It is releasing major versions at an unusual rate — 12.0 through 15.1 since mid-July — and the connecting thread across all of them is gRPC: infrastructure first, then stats collection ported from DBUS, then more commands, then CacheMgr APIs and export management. Version 15.0 adds memory statistics and accounting alongside those APIs.

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.

NFS-Ganesha is porting its management plane from DBUS to gRPC, four major versions in a month.

◆ Current state

NFS-Ganesha is a user-space NFS server with pluggable FSAL backends for CEPH, GPFS and others. It is releasing major versions at an unusual rate — 12.0 through 15.1 since mid-July — and the connecting thread across all of them is gRPC: infrastructure first, then stats collection ported from DBUS, then more commands, then CacheMgr APIs and export management. Version 15.0 adds memory statistics and accounting alongside those APIs.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a control-plane migration carried out release by release in the open. Each version moves another slice of management surface onto gRPC — stats, exports, cache manager, a fake recall API for testing — while the data path work continues separately with XCOPY and clustered quality of service at 14.0. The 15.1 release extends ShowExports with a protocol summary and adds a gRPC FakeRecall API, which reads as filling in coverage rather than opening new ground. Note 15.0 and 15.1 are stamped seventy-nine seconds apart, so they were cut together rather than released as separate events.

◆ Prediction

Expect the remaining DBUS-era management commands to keep landing as gRPC APIs at this cadence. The open question these entries do not answer is whether DBUS is eventually removed or kept indefinitely alongside.

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.
