Verdaccio v9 pre-release track actively versioning packages toward next major
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ToolJet and Woodpecker CI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
ToolJet's LTS branch added personal access tokens, MCP authentication, and AI content generation in a single build.
ToolJet is shipping simultaneously on two branches: an LTS track that recently landed personal access tokens for API and MCP authentication, hot-reload canvas editing, notifications, and AI-powered content generation (all in v3.20.220-lts), and a beta track that handles component-level fixes and refactors. The most recent builds on the top 6 list are mostly minor fixes and the start of AI builder recovery integration, with the significant feature release falling just outside the window.
Woodpecker CI hardens agent security and forge handling through its 3.14 release candidates
Woodpecker is iterating through 3.14.0 release candidates focused on security and agent/forge robustness: sanitizing agent-introduced state changes and log streaming, blocking registration as arbitrary agents, restricting log access, and cleaning up the Forge interface. Dependency security bumps (axios, otel, follow-redirects) and a lodash removal run throughout.

ToolJet is building out a programmable API surface for AI agents: PAT-based MCP authentication, personal access tokens for user management, and AI builder tooling together position ToolJet as something that can be driven by external agents, not just human builders. The hot-reload canvas (no editor unmount) is the kind of foundational quality investment that precedes deeper AI-native building features.
MCP tooling for ToolJet will deepen — expect more API coverage and agent-oriented capabilities in upcoming LTS builds, likely alongside expanded AI builder features (the AI positioning update in the README is a signal that messaging is shifting).

Dependency security bumps (axios, otel, follow-redirects) and a lodash removal run throughout.
The 3.14 line reads as a security-and-internals hardening cycle, tightening the agent trust boundary and forge integration rather than pushing features. The earlier 3.11 line shows the more typical mix of per-repo config features and fixes.
Expect 3.14.0 to converge to a stable release after the RC series, continuing the agent-security and forge-handling focus.
