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 git2r?

git2r stopped vendoring libgit2 and now expects it on the system

git2r is the R binding to libgit2. The defining recent change is packaging, not API: 0.35.0 removed the bundled libgit2 source entirely and made a system install of libgit2 1.0 or newer a hard requirement, with a macOS fallback that downloads a checksum-verified static build. 0.36.2 follows up with proxy support and clearer build-time error messages.

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.

git2r stopped vendoring libgit2 and now expects it on the system

◆ Current state

git2r is the R binding to libgit2. The defining recent change is packaging, not API: 0.35.0 removed the bundled libgit2 source entirely and made a system install of libgit2 1.0 or newer a hard requirement, with a macOS fallback that downloads a checksum-verified static build. 0.36.2 follows up with proxy support and clearer build-time error messages.

◆ Where it's heading

The package is trading install convenience for a maintainable build, and the releases since are about softening that edge — better diagnostics when the requirement is unmet, documented system dependencies, platform-specific build configuration. The API itself grows slowly and only where the underlying libgit2 exposes something new.

◆ Prediction

Expect further build-configuration and diagnostics work on the unbundled setup, with API additions arriving only as thin wrappers over libgit2 features.
