What is ToolJet?

ToolJet's LTS and beta trains both narrow to component polish and CVE patching

ToolJet runs two parallel release trains — a 3.20 LTS line and a 3.21 beta line — and this window is dominated by small fixes on both. The most substantive tag is v3.20.212-lts, which brings dynamic-height support to several widgets, a dynamic number format for Currency Input, mobile camera flip, and AI build notifications. Everything newer than it is single-issue: a table header wrap fix, a gRPC discovery freeze, a stale row-click value.

What is WorkOS?

WorkOS is building identity for agents while quietly fixing the sign-up funnel.

WorkOS ships several small entries a week, and August splits cleanly in two. One half is authentication housekeeping for human users: an Android SDK, deliverability checks that reject undeliverable addresses at sign-up, invitation acceptance counting as email verification, and a reversible SCIM proxy for migrating directory connections without downtime. The other half is agent infrastructure — Agent Registration via the auth.md protocol, and the Pipes Token Proxy that calls third-party APIs on a user's behalf without the application ever touching their token.

ToolJet's LTS and beta trains both narrow to component polish and CVE patching

◆ Current state

ToolJet runs two parallel release trains — a 3.20 LTS line and a 3.21 beta line — and this window is dominated by small fixes on both. The most substantive tag is v3.20.212-lts, which brings dynamic-height support to several widgets, a dynamic number format for Currency Input, mobile camera flip, and AI build notifications. Everything newer than it is single-issue: a table header wrap fix, a gRPC discovery freeze, a stale row-click value.

◆ Where it's heading

The component library is where the work is going — dynamic heights, sizing modes, and overflow handling have appeared across four of the last six releases, which reads as a systematic pass over layout behaviour rather than isolated requests. The AI surface is growing quietly at the edges: build notifications here, an AI credits portal domain change, hardened guards on the AI onboarding API. Cherry-picks in both directions suggest the LTS and beta lines are being kept deliberately close.

◆ Prediction

Expect the dynamic-height and sizing pass to continue across remaining widgets, and the beta line's AI datasource integrations to graduate into the LTS train.

WorkOS is building identity for agents while quietly fixing the sign-up funnel.

◆ Current state

WorkOS ships several small entries a week, and August splits cleanly in two. One half is authentication housekeeping for human users: an Android SDK, deliverability checks that reject undeliverable addresses at sign-up, invitation acceptance counting as email verification, and a reversible SCIM proxy for migrating directory connections without downtime. The other half is agent infrastructure — Agent Registration via the auth.md protocol, and the Pipes Token Proxy that calls third-party APIs on a user's behalf without the application ever touching their token.

◆ Where it's heading

The agent work is the strategic line. Registration gives an agent an identity of its own instead of a borrowed human session; the token proxy means an application acting for a user never holds the credential. Together they describe a stack where an agent can be authorized, audited and revoked as a first-class principal. The human-auth releases are conversion and migration work — the deliverability check and SCIM Bridge both remove reasons a customer stalls — which is what a developer-infrastructure company does while its next category is still forming.

◆ Prediction

Registration and the token proxy leave scoping and revocation as the visible gaps, so expect per-agent permissions or consent surfaces next. Whether auth.md gains adoption beyond WorkOS is not something these entries can answer.
