What is ToolJet?

ToolJet's latest tags are maintenance; the AI Builder features still wait on beta.

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line for fixes and promoted features and a beta line for larger work. The newest LTS tag, v3.20.246, fixes uneditable rows in the 'Add new rows' popup and adds Tabs tests; the newest beta, v3.21.78, only adds security guideline docs. The substantive recent LTS changes were keyboard accessibility across widgets, a SCIM filter fix and v2 APIs for workspace user metadata.

What is Uptrends?

Synthetic monitoring built for people who script their checks, not click them.

Uptrends is a synthetic and digital experience monitoring service, and its recent releases cluster around multi-step API monitoring: bearer token authentication per API call, JWT encode and decode functions for signing and reading tokens, and a 30-second check interval for new Enterprise accounts. Around that sit account and workflow improvements — duplicable custom integrations, maintenance-period filtering by schedule attributes, SSL certificate monitors gaining the same HTTP and TLS version options as HTTPS monitors, and automatic SSO redirect at login. The August entry is a support-matrix change rather than a feature: Windows Server 2019 is no longer offered for new private location installations.

ToolJet's latest tags are maintenance; the AI Builder features still wait on beta.

◆ Current state

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line for fixes and promoted features and a beta line for larger work. The newest LTS tag, v3.20.246, fixes uneditable rows in the 'Add new rows' popup and adds Tabs tests; the newest beta, v3.21.78, only adds security guideline docs. The substantive recent LTS changes were keyboard accessibility across widgets, a SCIM filter fix and v2 APIs for workspace user metadata.

◆ Where it's heading

Enterprise readiness remains the common thread: a v2 external API growing one resource at a time, identity-provider fixes and accessibility work. AI Builder attachments, GPT-6.1 Sol and tighter metered Cloud limits still sit on the beta line.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder attachments, GPT-6.1 Sol and the new plan limits to reach an LTS tag, as AI Builder release 3 did. More v2 admin endpoints are likely along the way.

Synthetic monitoring built for people who script their checks, not click them.

◆ Current state

Uptrends is a synthetic and digital experience monitoring service, and its recent releases cluster around multi-step API monitoring: bearer token authentication per API call, JWT encode and decode functions for signing and reading tokens, and a 30-second check interval for new Enterprise accounts. Around that sit account and workflow improvements — duplicable custom integrations, maintenance-period filtering by schedule attributes, SSL certificate monitors gaining the same HTTP and TLS version options as HTTPS monitors, and automatic SSO redirect at login. The August entry is a support-matrix change rather than a feature: Windows Server 2019 is no longer offered for new private location installations.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is being shaped around authenticated, scripted API checks rather than simple uptime pings, and the pieces arriving are the ones that make a monitor look like a real client — token signing, per-call authentication, sub-minute frequency. The second direction is outward: OpenTelemetry export lets monitoring results land in Elastic, New Relic, Splunk, Prometheus or ITRS alongside application and infrastructure telemetry, and the Terraform Hub can emit import blocks for individual resources. Both point at customers who already run an observability stack and want Uptrends inside it rather than beside it.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Enterprise tier to keep receiving the sharper capabilities first, since both the 30-second interval and OpenTelemetry export shipped that way, and expect further authentication methods for multi-step API monitors given the run from bearer tokens through JWT functions.
