What is CockroachDB?

CockroachDB holds a metronomic dual-track release rhythm through v26

CockroachDB is shipping on a predictable two-track cadence: Innovation releases roughly quarterly (v26.1 Feb, v26.3 May 2026) and Regular releases anchoring long-term support twice a year (v25.2, v25.4, v26.2). The schedule has held without slippage across the 18 months of entries visible here. Release artifacts are thin — version, date, track — with detail delegated to docs.

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.

CockroachDB holds a metronomic dual-track release rhythm through v26

◆ Current state

CockroachDB is shipping on a predictable two-track cadence: Innovation releases roughly quarterly (v26.1 Feb, v26.3 May 2026) and Regular releases anchoring long-term support twice a year (v25.2, v25.4, v26.2). The schedule has held without slippage across the 18 months of entries visible here. Release artifacts are thin — version, date, track — with detail delegated to docs.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is in steady-cadence mode rather than narrative-driven release mode. Investment is visibly going into release engineering discipline — predictable GA dates, clean dual-track support windows — not into headline features that would surface in changelogs. Innovation acts as the feature pipeline; Regular acts as the LTS anchor enterprises pin against.

◆ Prediction

v26.3 lands on the announced May/June 2026 date; a v26.4 Innovation slot opens around late summer with v27.1 Regular following the established November cadence.

5.0

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.
