What is Semgrep?

Semgrep adds Objective-C as an alpha target, its first new language since Dart went GA.

Semgrep ships weekly on two tracks. Supply Chain added Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, Bun lockfiles in 1.179 and unpinned Python requirements in 1.181. The matcher promoted Dart to GA in 1.180. 1.182 adds Objective-C (alpha) with search- and taint-mode rules, and updates the C# Pro, Terraform HCL and Lua grammars.

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.

Semgrep vs ToolJet: editorial side-by-side

5.0

Semgrep adds Objective-C as an alpha target, its first new language since Dart went GA.

◆ Current state

Semgrep ships weekly on two tracks. Supply Chain added Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, Bun lockfiles in 1.179 and unpinned Python requirements in 1.181. The matcher promoted Dart to GA in 1.180. 1.182 adds Objective-C (alpha) with search- and taint-mode rules, and updates the C# Pro, Terraform HCL and Lua grammars.

◆ Where it's heading

Language coverage is widening toward Apple-platform code, where .m files have so far sat outside Semgrep's rules, and Objective-C++ is promised separately. On the dependency side, Python requirements handling keeps moving toward how people write manifests by hand rather than how pip-compile emits them.

◆ Prediction

Expect Objective-C++ (.mm) support next, as the 1.182 notes say, and Objective-C moving out of alpha. The open item from 1.181, turning unpinned Python deps into findings, has no date yet.

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.
