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 Vault?

Vault under IBM lands 2.0.0, with FIPS 140-3 and HSM enterprise builds inside two weeks.

Vault crossed 2.0.0 in late March under its post-HashiCorp / IBM stewardship — the artifact pages now carry IBM's International Program License Agreement language alongside the existing MPL 2.0 / BSL terms. Enterprise variants followed within days: 2.0.0 enterprise FIPS 140-3 and HSM-flavored builds published April 1 and April 8, plus an sdk/v0.25.1 backport addressing a Go CVE. The recent shipping is release-engineering-heavy, not feature-heavy.

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.

2.5

Vault under IBM lands 2.0.0, with FIPS 140-3 and HSM enterprise builds inside two weeks.

◆ Current state

Vault crossed 2.0.0 in late March under its post-HashiCorp / IBM stewardship — the artifact pages now carry IBM's International Program License Agreement language alongside the existing MPL 2.0 / BSL terms. Enterprise variants followed within days: 2.0.0 enterprise FIPS 140-3 and HSM-flavored builds published April 1 and April 8, plus an sdk/v0.25.1 backport addressing a Go CVE. The recent shipping is release-engineering-heavy, not feature-heavy.

◆ Where it's heading

This is the cadence of a project completing a major-version rollout — community GA first, then RC and GA enterprise-flavor builds, then security-tracking SDK backports — rather than a roadmap pivot. The fact that FIPS 140-3 and HSM enterprise builds shipped in the same window as the 2.0 cycle is the signal worth holding onto: Vault's federal and regulated-industry posture is being kept intact under the new owner, and auth plugin version bumps suggest the wider ecosystem is staying in step.

◆ Prediction

Expect 2.x feature-bearing minor releases over the next few months, with FIPS 140-3 and HSM enterprise variants tracked alongside the community builds. GA bumps for the auth plugins to match the 2.x line are likely. Worth watching for more visible IBM branding or any Cloud-side packaging shifts that signal repositioning under the new owner.
