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 RSelenium?

RSelenium's only release in eight years touched documentation and CI, nothing else.

1.7.10, published February 2026, contains documentation updates, a move from Travis CI to GitHub Actions, and CRAN note fixes — no functional change at all, and it is the first release since September 2018. The releases before it are equally quiet: a dummy argument in `executeScript`, `phantom()` made defunct, and credential-exposure and driver-startup fixes. The last real capability change in the window is `rsDriver()` arriving in 1.6.4, which replaced the defunct `checkForServer` and `startServer` helpers.

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.

RSelenium's only release in eight years touched documentation and CI, nothing else.

◆ Current state

1.7.10, published February 2026, contains documentation updates, a move from Travis CI to GitHub Actions, and CRAN note fixes — no functional change at all, and it is the first release since September 2018. The releases before it are equally quiet: a dummy argument in `executeScript`, `phantom()` made defunct, and credential-exposure and driver-startup fixes. The last real capability change in the window is `rsDriver()` arriving in 1.6.4, which replaced the defunct `checkForServer` and `startServer` helpers.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a package being kept installable rather than developed. The 2016-2018 era did the architectural work — moving process management out to wdman, recommending Docker for running a Selenium server, retiring PhantomJS — and nothing since has revisited it. That leaves RSelenium sitting on the older WebDriver arrangement while the browser-automation landscape has moved on.

◆ Prediction

Further releases, if any, are likely to be CRAN-compliance rather than feature work; the entries give no indication of active development resuming.
