What is ToolJet?

An LTS patch train quietly absorbing security fixes and multi-model AI switching

ToolJet's 3.20.x LTS line ships near-daily patch tags, most carrying a single merged PR. The substantive items in the current window are LLM switching with query transformation in the AI layer, two-factor authentication, a fix for cross-tenant vulnerabilities in ToolJet DB, and CSV import for ToolJet DB. Everything else is single-fix housekeeping - event handler ordering, layout deduplication, signup guard changes.

What is Windsurf?

Windsurf's own feature list has thinned out; what ships now is Devin arriving one surface at a time.

Across this stretch of the changelog, nearly every substantive release is a Devin capability landing inside the editor: the agent itself, Devin for Terminal, then Devin Review and Quick Review extended to all users on their existing subscription. The IDE-native work that remains is packaging around that — an agent inbox, session sorting, Windows stability. The other recurring release type is simply making new frontier models selectable.

An LTS patch train quietly absorbing security fixes and multi-model AI switching

◆ Current state

ToolJet's 3.20.x LTS line ships near-daily patch tags, most carrying a single merged PR. The substantive items in the current window are LLM switching with query transformation in the AI layer, two-factor authentication, a fix for cross-tenant vulnerabilities in ToolJet DB, and CSV import for ToolJet DB. Everything else is single-fix housekeeping - event handler ordering, layout deduplication, signup guard changes.

◆ Where it's heading

The LTS branch is doing two jobs at once. It is the stability line, which explains the volume of one-PR tags, but real capability is still landing on it - AI model switching and CSV import are not backports of cosmetic fixes. The security items are the more telling signal: two-factor authentication and a cross-tenant isolation fix arriving in the same tag point at a product being hardened for multi-tenant deployments where one customer's data reaching another is the failure that matters.

◆ Prediction

Expect the 3.20.x LTS cadence to continue at roughly a tag a day with further AI-layer work following the LLM switching groundwork. The entries do not show what is happening on the non-LTS branch, so how much of this originates there is not visible here.

Windsurf's own feature list has thinned out; what ships now is Devin arriving one surface at a time.

◆ Current state

Across this stretch of the changelog, nearly every substantive release is a Devin capability landing inside the editor: the agent itself, Devin for Terminal, then Devin Review and Quick Review extended to all users on their existing subscription. The IDE-native work that remains is packaging around that — an agent inbox, session sorting, Windows stability. The other recurring release type is simply making new frontier models selectable.

◆ Where it's heading

Windsurf is converging on being the interface layer for Cognition's agent rather than an independently evolving editor. The pattern in these entries is consistent: a Devin surface ships, then it is unbundled from a separate purchase and folded into the existing subscription. Meanwhile the editor's own release notes are increasingly bug fixes and model availability notices, which is what a front end looks like when the differentiation has moved behind it.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next notable releases to be further Devin surfaces reaching general availability on the existing subscription rather than new editor features, and continued same-week model-availability notices. The entries give no signal on whether the JetBrains plugin gets the same Devin surfaces.
