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.

What is Tyk?

Tyk 5.16 reaches RC5 with small gateway fixes, still without release notes.

Tyk 5.16.0 is on its fifth release candidate. RC3 fixed a case where stripping the listen path could change rewrite behaviour, and RC4 and RC5, cut at the same minute, carry a deep-copy fix for OAS config data. The 5.13.4 patch line is at RC5 with dependency and doc-comment updates.

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.

5.0

Tyk 5.16 reaches RC5 with small gateway fixes, still without release notes.

◆ Current state

Tyk 5.16.0 is on its fifth release candidate. RC3 fixed a case where stripping the listen path could change rewrite behaviour, and RC4 and RC5, cut at the same minute, carry a deep-copy fix for OAS config data. The 5.13.4 patch line is at RC5 with dependency and doc-comment updates.

◆ Where it's heading

Release work is spread across 5.16 candidates and a 5.13 patch train, both carrying security bumps and small gateway fixes. The release candidates are tagged with merge titles rather than notes, so the feed doesn't show what 5.16 adds.

◆ Prediction

Expect 5.16.0 and 5.13.4 finals; the feature content of 5.16 should only become visible in its release notes.
