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 LibreSpeed?

LibreSpeed finished its design migration and is now hardening what it measures.

LibreSpeed spent late 2025 and early 2026 landing a rewritten frontend that had been in progress for roughly two years, moving it from a feature-switch pre-release to the default in 6.0.0. With that migration behind it, the 6.2.x line has turned to measurement itself and to deployment robustness — a dedicated connection-stability test, installable PWA packaging, and a string of Docker and asset-layout 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.

LibreSpeed finished its design migration and is now hardening what it measures.

◆ Current state

LibreSpeed spent late 2025 and early 2026 landing a rewritten frontend that had been in progress for roughly two years, moving it from a feature-switch pre-release to the default in 6.0.0. With that migration behind it, the 6.2.x line has turned to measurement itself and to deployment robustness — a dedicated connection-stability test, installable PWA packaging, and a string of Docker and asset-layout fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

The most interesting shift is scope. LibreSpeed was a one-shot bandwidth benchmark; 6.2.0 added a standalone stability test with live latency charting, packet-loss tracking, and CSV export, which is a different job — watching a connection over time rather than scoring it once. The 6.2.1 follow-up shows the maintainers treating measurement accuracy as the product: upload results were being inflated when a request came back with an HTTP error, and the client now waits for a successful status before starting a replacement. Deployment work runs continuously alongside, mostly making Docker and non-Docker layouts behave identically.

◆ Prediction

The stability test is new enough that its server selection and timeout handling are still being fixed, so expect the next releases to keep refining it rather than opening another surface. Docker and asset-layout parity looks like the other ongoing thread.
