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 Jackett?

Jackett's daily tags keep chasing tracker sites, two indexer edits at a time

Every release in this window is a handful of indexer definition edits: a config note about IP filtering on newstudio and IPv6-only handling for anisource in the newest tag, and before it a steady run of domain bumps, trackers added and removed, and category mappings corrected. The bodies are auto-generated commit lists.

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.

Jackett's daily tags keep chasing tracker sites, two indexer edits at a time

◆ Current state

Every release in this window is a handful of indexer definition edits: a config note about IP filtering on newstudio and IPv6-only handling for anisource in the newest tag, and before it a steady run of domain bumps, trackers added and removed, and category mappings corrected. The bodies are auto-generated commit lists.

◆ Where it's heading

This is maintenance as a product. Trackers move domains, change authentication, or disappear, and Jackett ships a tag the same morning; Scenetime was added and dropped within days, 720pier removed and restored by revert. Nothing in the release stream suggests work on the application itself rather than on the definitions it carries.

◆ Prediction

Expect the same daily cadence of indexer edits, with the churn concentrated on domain changes and authentication method switches.
