Casdoor vs MainWP: 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 MainWP?
MainWP's pulse is a steady drip of per-extension maintenance, not headline features.
MainWP is a self-hosted dashboard for managing many WordPress sites from one place, and its changelog is really a stream of independent extension updates — Google Search Console, Patchstack security, regression testing, cost and time tracking, analytics integrations. Recent work is squarely maintenance: reliability fixes to sync logic, batched multi-site operations, and UI consistency passes tied to the MainWP v6 interface. No single release reshapes the platform; the signal is breadth of ecosystem upkeep.

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.
MainWP

MainWP's pulse is a steady drip of per-extension maintenance, not headline features.
◆ Current state
MainWP is a self-hosted dashboard for managing many WordPress sites from one place, and its changelog is really a stream of independent extension updates — Google Search Console, Patchstack security, regression testing, cost and time tracking, analytics integrations. Recent work is squarely maintenance: reliability fixes to sync logic, batched multi-site operations, and UI consistency passes tied to the MainWP v6 interface. No single release reshapes the platform; the signal is breadth of ecosystem upkeep.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is a broad extension catalog kept individually current rather than a concentrated feature push — each extension gets fixes and small additions on its own cadence. Two themes recur: hardening multi-site operations at scale (batched Patchstack syncing, robust site mapping) and aligning every extension's UI with the v6 redesign. This is the maintenance profile of a mature product monetized through add-ons.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued per-extension point releases focused on reliability and v6 UI alignment, with the security (Patchstack) and analytics (GSC, Fathom) integrations seeing the most active work. A platform-level shift isn't visible in these entries.
