BayesianMCPMod vs Casdoor: at a glance
What is BayesianMCPMod?
A Bayesian dose-finding package extends from continuous endpoints to binary ones
BayesianMCPMod implements the Bayesian form of MCP-Mod for dose-finding trials, combining a multiple-comparison test for dose-response signal with model fitting for dose selection. Version 1.3.0 added functions and vignettes for the binary endpoint case, opening the package beyond the continuous endpoints it was built around, and 1.3.2 followed with Firth's penalized regression to handle separation in those binary fits. The same 1.3.0 release let assessDesign() accept custom simulated data and custom model estimates, which moves simulation control out of the package and into the user's hands.
What is Casdoor?
Casdoor is spending its release cadence moving auth checks from the client to the server
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.

A Bayesian dose-finding package extends from continuous endpoints to binary ones
◆ Current state
BayesianMCPMod implements the Bayesian form of MCP-Mod for dose-finding trials, combining a multiple-comparison test for dose-response signal with model fitting for dose selection. Version 1.3.0 added functions and vignettes for the binary endpoint case, opening the package beyond the continuous endpoints it was built around, and 1.3.2 followed with Firth's penalized regression to handle separation in those binary fits. The same 1.3.0 release let assessDesign() accept custom simulated data and custom model estimates, which moves simulation control out of the package and into the user's hands.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release has widened the estimands and data shapes the framework accepts rather than changing its statistical core. 1.0.2 added non-monotonic beta and quadratic model shapes; 1.1.0 introduced getMED() for the minimally efficacious dose and parallel execution through the future framework; 1.2.0 switched the posterior and contrast functions from a standard deviation vector to a full covariance matrix and supported non-zero off-diagonals in the MCP step. The binary endpoint work is the same pattern applied to the outcome type, and the Firth addition shows the follow-through of a maintainer who has hit the separation problem in practice.
◆ Prediction
Expect the binary endpoint arm to keep filling in - more diagnostics and design assessment coverage matching what the continuous case already has - since 1.3.2 addressed a specific estimation failure rather than adding a new capability.
Casdoor
5.0INFRA · APIS
Casdoor is spending its release cadence moving auth checks from the client to the server
◆ Current state
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.
◆ Where it's heading
Read together, these commits describe one job: closing the gap between what the console enforces and what the backend enforces. Several of them move a check that previously lived in the UI into the server, which is the work of a project being deployed into environments that audit it. New authentication providers and integrations have thinned relative to this hardening pass.
◆ Prediction
The next releases most likely continue the same sweep - remaining endpoints where an admin or user request is trusted more than the server verifies - rather than adding a new identity provider.
