What is ToolJet?

ToolJet follows AI Builder 3 on LTS with Salesforce and signup fixes.

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line that carries fixes and selected features, and a beta line where larger work lands first. v3.20.241-lts brought AI Builder release 3, tying AI-built apps into the enterprise app lifecycle. The two releases since are fixes: Salesforce multi-user OAuth now uses PKCE, the signup endpoint respects the instance-level ENABLE_SIGNUP toggle, and a canvas drop bug is gone.

What is Tyk?

Tyk's release feed is CVE dependency bumps across three maintained lines.

Tyk is cutting release candidates on several maintained lines at once (5.8, 5.13, 5.15) and nearly all of them carry the same dependency bump for a batch of CVEs: kin-openapi, golang.org/x/crypto, thrift and the OTLP trace exporters. The one feature entry is the 5.16.0 alpha, where the gateway sends node metadata when it registers.

ToolJet follows AI Builder 3 on LTS with Salesforce and signup fixes.

◆ Current state

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line that carries fixes and selected features, and a beta line where larger work lands first. v3.20.241-lts brought AI Builder release 3, tying AI-built apps into the enterprise app lifecycle. The two releases since are fixes: Salesforce multi-user OAuth now uses PKCE, the signup endpoint respects the instance-level ENABLE_SIGNUP toggle, and a canvas drop bug is gone.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run in parallel: making ToolJet manageable for larger orgs through enterprise connectors, scoped access and bulk user administration, and steadily promoting the AI Builder from beta into LTS. The latest patches close gaps in that enterprise work, such as Salesforce auth and signup controls, rather than opening new fronts.

◆ Prediction

Expect further AI Builder releases on LTS that extend lifecycle controls (promotion, environments, permissions) to AI-built apps, alongside more admin and access-control APIs.

5.0

Tyk's release feed is CVE dependency bumps across three maintained lines.

◆ Current state

Tyk is cutting release candidates on several maintained lines at once (5.8, 5.13, 5.15) and nearly all of them carry the same dependency bump for a batch of CVEs: kin-openapi, golang.org/x/crypto, thrift and the OTLP trace exporters. The one feature entry is the 5.16.0 alpha, where the gateway sends node metadata when it registers.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is supply-chain maintenance spread across a wide support window, with feature work happening on the 5.16 alpha line. Gateway registration metadata hints at better fleet visibility from the control plane, but one ticket is not enough to call a direction.

◆ Prediction

Expect the CVE bumps to go final across 5.13 and 5.15 and more 5.16 alphas; what 5.16 adds beyond gateway registration isn't visible yet.
