What is ToolJet?

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.

What is Zoho Creator?

Three months on, Zoho is still selling the HDS certification rather than shipping past it.

The feed's only current item is an August explainer of the HDS (Hebergeur de Donnees de Sante) certification Zoho Creator earned in May, walking through what the certificate covers: physical sites, hardware, virtual infrastructure, the application platform and system operations, all on Zoho-owned EU data centres. It makes a point of contrasting that scope with vendor certificates covering only part of the stack. Behind those two entries the feed drops to 2025 and earlier marketing and analyst content.

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

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.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.

Three months on, Zoho is still selling the HDS certification rather than shipping past it.

◆ Current state

The feed's only current item is an August explainer of the HDS (Hebergeur de Donnees de Sante) certification Zoho Creator earned in May, walking through what the certificate covers: physical sites, hardware, virtual infrastructure, the application platform and system operations, all on Zoho-owned EU data centres. It makes a point of contrasting that scope with vendor certificates covering only part of the stack. Behind those two entries the feed drops to 2025 and earlier marketing and analyst content.

◆ Where it's heading

Zoho is working the certification as a sales asset rather than following it with product news — the May announcement and the August explainer are the same fact addressed to two audiences, the second aimed at French healthcare buyers evaluating scope of coverage. Sovereign EU infrastructure remains the lever being pressed, and the full-stack framing is aimed squarely at competitors whose certification stops at the hosting layer. Release cadence for Creator itself is not readable here at all.

◆ Prediction

Expect further jurisdiction- and vertical-specific attestations on the same EU stack, and continued explainer content mining existing certifications; actual feature news appears to be published somewhere other than this blog.
