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 RSS-Bridge?

The web's duct-tape RSS layer, now quiet for a year after flipping every bridge on by default.

RSS-Bridge generates feeds for sites that removed theirs, and each release is a batch of community fixes to individual bridges plus a handful of new ones. Releases are date-tagged rather than versioned and land every few months, with the most recent in August 2025 — roughly a year of silence since. The core is stable PHP; the churn is in the ~400 site-specific scrapers that break whenever a target site changes markup or adds bot protection.

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.

0.0

The web's duct-tape RSS layer, now quiet for a year after flipping every bridge on by default.

◆ Current state

RSS-Bridge generates feeds for sites that removed theirs, and each release is a batch of community fixes to individual bridges plus a handful of new ones. Releases are date-tagged rather than versioned and land every few months, with the most recent in August 2025 — roughly a year of silence since. The core is stable PHP; the churn is in the ~400 site-specific scrapers that break whenever a target site changes markup or adds bot protection.

◆ Where it's heading

The project has been shifting from a curated tool to a general-purpose scraping surface: bridges are now all enabled by default, caching was rewritten, and token-based URL auth was added to make public instances survivable. That combination points at operators running shared instances rather than individuals running one bridge. The maintenance load, however, is entirely community-carried, and the gap since the last release suggests that pipeline has thinned.

◆ Prediction

The next release is likely another routine batch of bridge repairs and additions rather than a core change. The stated intentions in these notes — raising the minimum PHP version and separating the document root from the data folder — remain unshipped, and nothing here indicates when that lands.
