ESPHome 2026.9.0 ships template climate component, OTA encryption with API key, and ESP-NOW for ESP32-P4
A side-by-side editorial comparison of MooseFS and ToolJet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
A year of pure maintenance while the 4.x line clears the runway for MooseFS 5.
MooseFS has shipped nothing but maintenance releases across the entire visible window. The last release carrying real capability work was 4.58.0, which fixed partial readdir and added directory-in-parts reading for multi-million-file directories; everything after it is correctness, packaging, and hardening. The 4.59.x releases are single-issue fixes reported by the community and by external security researchers.
ToolJet's AI builder goes model-agnostic with a multi-model catalog and MCP server baked into the enterprise image.
ToolJet has shifted its core narrative from low-code app builder to AI-powered app builder. In the past two weeks alone: MCP server packaging bundled into the EE production image, a multi-model build system with a visual model picker and effort variants, and AI build notifications wired into the canvas. The beta branch (v3.21.x) is a steady feed of component-level improvements while the LTS branch (v3.20.x) is now absorbing the AI infrastructure.

The line is consolidating rather than expanding. Two signals point the same way: 4.59.1 quietly updated license handling specifically so licenses can be refreshed ahead of MooseFS 5 migrations, and 4.58.4 spent its effort on Fedora spec files and a bootstrap rewrite. That is a project stabilizing a shipping branch and widening distribution while the next major version is built elsewhere.
The 4.59.x branch keeps absorbing community bug reports at a low cadence until MooseFS 5 arrives; the license-compatibility work in 4.59.1 is the clearest evidence that migration is the next milestone rather than more 4.x features.

ToolJet is building the infrastructure to make its AI builder run any model from any provider, not just OpenAI. The model catalog with effort variants (presumably mapping to cost/speed tradeoffs) and the bundled MCP server position ToolJet as a platform that AI agents can drive — not just a tool humans use to build apps. The Confluence marketplace integration points to continued enterprise integrations.
The MCP server now in the EE image will likely get documented API coverage in the next 2–3 releases, making ToolJet a programmable target for external AI agents. A new Basic plan suggests pricing restructuring; look for the AI builder features to be tiered behind higher plans.
