What is Mergify?

Mergify tightens merge queue controls with deployment pinning, per-lane capacity, and GitHub-native stacked PR support.

Mergify is shipping targeted capability additions to its merge queue around two themes: finer-grained deployment and scope controls, and tighter security around author permissions. Deployment conditions can now be pinned to specific apps, per-lane check capacity applies to dynamic scopes without enumerating scope names, and the stacked PR merge integration brings GitHub's native stacked PR feature into the merge queue. On the security side, head branch writes are now restricted to the originating repository and forks, preventing cross-repository writes.

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.

Mergify tightens merge queue controls with deployment pinning, per-lane capacity, and GitHub-native stacked PR support.

◆ Current state

Mergify is shipping targeted capability additions to its merge queue around two themes: finer-grained deployment and scope controls, and tighter security around author permissions. Deployment conditions can now be pinned to specific apps, per-lane check capacity applies to dynamic scopes without enumerating scope names, and the stacked PR merge integration brings GitHub's native stacked PR feature into the merge queue. On the security side, head branch writes are now restricted to the originating repository and forks, preventing cross-repository writes.

◆ Where it's heading

Mergify is expanding its merge queue from a queue-and-merge tool toward a fully controllable CI/CD gating layer. The deployment condition pinning, per-lane capacity limits, and stacked PR support each address specific enterprise workflow gaps rather than adding breadth. The Datadog metrics retirement (replacing custom metrics with a cleaner `mergify.queue.*` set) and badge API removal signal an API consolidation pass running in parallel with feature additions.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued deepening of the deployment condition model — more condition attributes for filtering merge behavior based on deployment context and app identity. The stacked PR integration suggests GitHub's native stacked PR tooling is gaining enterprise adoption; Mergify may add more explicit stacked PR workflow controls beyond queue membership.

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.
