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.
What is Dub?
Dub keeps building Dub Partners into a serious partner-program OS — staggered rewards, group rules, analytics depth.
Dub is in a sustained build-out of Dub Partners alongside the original link product. The recent window added staggered reward durations (e.g. 25% for the first 12 months, 10% after), automatic group moves when partners hit performance milestones with audit history, bulk partner invites with customizable emails, multi/negative analytics filters across partners and links, Stripe free-trial tracking as lead events, and Viewer/Billing workspace roles for finer-grained access.

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.

Dub keeps building Dub Partners into a serious partner-program OS — staggered rewards, group rules, analytics depth.
◆ Current state
Dub is in a sustained build-out of Dub Partners alongside the original link product. The recent window added staggered reward durations (e.g. 25% for the first 12 months, 10% after), automatic group moves when partners hit performance milestones with audit history, bulk partner invites with customizable emails, multi/negative analytics filters across partners and links, Stripe free-trial tracking as lead events, and Viewer/Billing workspace roles for finer-grained access.
◆ Where it's heading
The partner program is becoming the gravity well. Each release either deepens program operators' control (commission shapes, automated tiering, role-based access) or improves the analytics layer that justifies those decisions. The Stripe trial tracking suggests Dub wants to own the full attribution chain from click to subscription, not just clicks. Cadence is steady and clearly themed.
◆ Prediction
Expect more commission/tiering primitives — bonuses, tier overrides, retroactive adjustments — and tighter Stripe/attribution coupling that handles refunds and churn natively. A formal marketplace for discovering vetted partners is plausible once individual-partner-page features mature.
