What is Presto?

Presto ships steadily, but the feed carries only version numbers and a link.

Presto is releasing on its usual cadence - 0.299 in late August, 0.298 and a 0.298.1 patch in June, 0.297 in April. What is shipping in them cannot be determined from this feed: every entry is a version number and a pointer to release notes hosted elsewhere, with no body text at all.

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.

Presto ships steadily, but the feed carries only version numbers and a link.

◆ Current state

Presto is releasing on its usual cadence - 0.299 in late August, 0.298 and a 0.298.1 patch in June, 0.297 in April. What is shipping in them cannot be determined from this feed: every entry is a version number and a pointer to release notes hosted elsewhere, with no body text at all.

◆ Where it's heading

The only readable signal is tempo, and tempo is steady rather than accelerating: roughly one minor release per two months, with point releases when a fix cannot wait. The project's direction, breaking changes, and connector work are all invisible here.

◆ Prediction

Cadence suggests 0.300 lands within about two months. Nothing in this feed supports a claim about what will be in it - the release notes would have to be read directly.

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.
