What is Huginn?

Huginn moves to Ruby 4.0.9 for a regex memory-corruption fix and adds a localized web UI.

Huginn v2026.10.24 upgrades to Ruby 4.0.9, which fixes memory corruption when compiling attacker-controlled regular expressions, and the official Docker images follow. The web interface can now be set to other languages with the LOCALE variable, using a translation gem. The bundled MySQL moves to 8.4.13, and Docker latest tags now update only after release specs pass.

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.

5.0

Huginn moves to Ruby 4.0.9 for a regex memory-corruption fix and adds a localized web UI.

◆ Current state

Huginn v2026.10.24 upgrades to Ruby 4.0.9, which fixes memory corruption when compiling attacker-controlled regular expressions, and the official Docker images follow. The web interface can now be set to other languages with the LOCALE variable, using a translation gem. The bundled MySQL moves to 8.4.13, and Docker latest tags now update only after release specs pass.

◆ Where it's heading

Since its revival in August, Huginn has shipped security fixes first, then reliability and deployment cleanup. This release is the first to add something user-facing beyond that, a localized interface, while the runtime keeps getting pulled forward.

◆ Prediction

Expect translation gems for specific languages to appear and the roughly two-week release rhythm to continue with dependency and Docker upkeep.

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.
