What is Quay?

Quay keeps both enterprise branches on a monthly CVE-patch metronome — and nothing else.

All ten releases in this window are security maintenance: dependency bumps for CVEs, SSRF hardening in mirroring and proxy cache, and a robot-token visibility fix for readonly superusers. The October pair (3.12.23 and 3.10.27) patches the same four CVEs — immutable, qs, lxml, WebOb — plus a compression bump. Neither line has shipped a user-facing feature in four months.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

Quay vs ToolJet: editorial side-by-side

Q
Quay
INFRA · APIS
5.0

Quay keeps both enterprise branches on a monthly CVE-patch metronome — and nothing else.

◆ Current state

All ten releases in this window are security maintenance: dependency bumps for CVEs, SSRF hardening in mirroring and proxy cache, and a robot-token visibility fix for readonly superusers. The October pair (3.12.23 and 3.10.27) patches the same four CVEs — immutable, qs, lxml, WebOb — plus a compression bump. Neither line has shipped a user-facing feature in four months.

◆ Where it's heading

The 3.10 and 3.12 lines move in lockstep, typically within hours to days of each other, on a roughly monthly cadence. New Containerfile.art files for ART/Konflux builds point to packaging work on Red Hat's build pipeline rather than product changes. Feature work, if any, is not surfacing in these maintenance branches.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next 3.12.x/3.10.x pair in roughly a month with another batch of CVE bumps. The entries give no signal of when or whether new capabilities will land on these lines.

5.0

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

◆ Current state

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

◆ Where it's heading

The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
