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 GravityKit?

GravityKit's exporter stops producing files and starts keeping a spreadsheet in sync.

GravityKit ships weekly across a suite of Gravity Forms add-ons, publishing a Launch Log digest alongside dedicated announcements for the larger items. This window covers Google Sheets export in GravityExport, unions in Multiple Forms, rich text inline editing in GravityEdit, and a long tail of Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 compatibility fixes.

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.

GravityKit's exporter stops producing files and starts keeping a spreadsheet in sync.

◆ Current state

GravityKit ships weekly across a suite of Gravity Forms add-ons, publishing a Launch Log digest alongside dedicated announcements for the larger items. This window covers Google Sheets export in GravityExport, unions in Multiple Forms, rich text inline editing in GravityEdit, and a long tail of Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 compatibility fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

The suite is shifting from displaying form data to moving it. Unions stack entries from several forms into one View, Google Sheets export keeps an external sheet current, and the MCP add-ons in the same window expose theme and entry data to agents. Taken together, Gravity Forms entries are being treated as a data source other systems consume rather than something rendered on a WordPress page.

◆ Prediction

Expect additional live-sync destinations following the Google Sheets pattern, and continued compatibility work while Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 adoption spreads.
