Casdoor vs Infisical: at a glance
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 Infisical?
A credential platform assembled two or three pull requests at a time, never a headline
Infisical is assembling a credential platform rather than a secrets store, with PKI, PAM, KMIP and secret rotation advancing in parallel. No release carries a headline; each version lands two or three pull requests per pillar. The newest, v0.162.21, brings PAM access control improvements, expanded certificate-manager telemetry and a migration of project service tokens onto the v3 UI — the same pattern as the release before it, which added KMIP auto-renewal and removed the legacy environment dashboard.

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.

A credential platform assembled two or three pull requests at a time, never a headline
◆ Current state
Infisical is assembling a credential platform rather than a secrets store, with PKI, PAM, KMIP and secret rotation advancing in parallel. No release carries a headline; each version lands two or three pull requests per pillar. The newest, v0.162.21, brings PAM access control improvements, expanded certificate-manager telemetry and a migration of project service tokens onto the v3 UI — the same pattern as the release before it, which added KMIP auto-renewal and removed the legacy environment dashboard.
◆ Where it's heading
PKI is furthest along and PAM is the fastest-moving: it has picked up machine identities, Redis as an account type, and now finer access control, following the same absorb-the-identity-model path secrets took. Running underneath everything is the v3 UI migration, which has been consuming one settings surface per release — the environment dashboard, then service tokens. Read as a whole, the changelog describes a product deliberately refusing to announce itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect the v3 migration to finish sweeping the remaining project settings surfaces and PAM to keep collecting account types the way PKI collected sync destinations; the expanding certificate-manager telemetry suggests that pillar is being measured before it is expanded.
