Hatchet
Hatchet takes durable tasks serverless, with handlers for Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ToolJet and Verdaccio — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
Verdaccio v9 pre-release track actively versioning packages toward next major
Verdaccio, the private npm registry, is in an active pre-release cycle toward v9.0.0. The recent changelog is dominated by automated version coordination across the monorepo's packages — verdaccio core, memory, audit, auth-memory, url, and web packages are all being versioned together under the next-9 dist-tag. These are not feature releases but coordinated pre-release bumps that keep the package ecosystem consistent during the development cycle. The last substantive entry (v7.0.0-next-7.26) updates internal dependencies to point at the next-9 dist-tag.

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.
Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
Verdaccio, the private npm registry, is in an active pre-release cycle toward v9.0.0. The recent changelog is dominated by automated version coordination across the monorepo's packages — verdaccio core, memory, audit, auth-memory, url, and web packages are all being versioned together under the next-9 dist-tag.

The last substantive entry (v7.0.0-next-7.26) updates internal dependencies to point at the next-9 dist-tag.
Verdaccio appears to be in the late pre-release phase of a major version bump, with the monorepo packaging pipeline fully activated for the v9.0.0 track. The coordinated versioning across all packages simultaneously (verdaccio, memory, audit, auth-memory, url, web all at next-9.31) suggests the team is preparing for a synchronous GA release. The lack of feature content in the visible changelog indicates the major work happened in earlier alpha/beta cycles and the current focus is release stabilization.
Verdaccio v9.0.0 GA is likely imminent based on the coordinated next-9 package versioning. The release will probably include architectural changes made during the v9 development cycle that aren't visible in these pre-release version bumps.
