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 Windsurf?

Windsurf's own feature list has thinned out; what ships now is Devin arriving one surface at a time.

Across this stretch of the changelog, nearly every substantive release is a Devin capability landing inside the editor: the agent itself, Devin for Terminal, then Devin Review and Quick Review extended to all users on their existing subscription. The IDE-native work that remains is packaging around that — an agent inbox, session sorting, Windows stability. The other recurring release type is simply making new frontier models selectable.

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.

Windsurf's own feature list has thinned out; what ships now is Devin arriving one surface at a time.

◆ Current state

Across this stretch of the changelog, nearly every substantive release is a Devin capability landing inside the editor: the agent itself, Devin for Terminal, then Devin Review and Quick Review extended to all users on their existing subscription. The IDE-native work that remains is packaging around that — an agent inbox, session sorting, Windows stability. The other recurring release type is simply making new frontier models selectable.

◆ Where it's heading

Windsurf is converging on being the interface layer for Cognition's agent rather than an independently evolving editor. The pattern in these entries is consistent: a Devin surface ships, then it is unbundled from a separate purchase and folded into the existing subscription. Meanwhile the editor's own release notes are increasingly bug fixes and model availability notices, which is what a front end looks like when the differentiation has moved behind it.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next notable releases to be further Devin surfaces reaching general availability on the existing subscription rather than new editor features, and continued same-week model-availability notices. The entries give no signal on whether the JetBrains plugin gets the same Devin surfaces.
