Casdoor vs Woodpecker CI: 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 Woodpecker CI?
Woodpecker CI hardens agent security and forge handling through its 3.14 release candidates
Woodpecker is iterating through 3.14.0 release candidates focused on security and agent/forge robustness: sanitizing agent-introduced state changes and log streaming, blocking registration as arbitrary agents, restricting log access, and cleaning up the Forge interface. Dependency security bumps (axios, otel, follow-redirects) and a lodash removal run throughout.

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.

Woodpecker CI hardens agent security and forge handling through its 3.14 release candidates
◆ Current state
Woodpecker is iterating through 3.14.0 release candidates focused on security and agent/forge robustness: sanitizing agent-introduced state changes and log streaming, blocking registration as arbitrary agents, restricting log access, and cleaning up the Forge interface. Dependency security bumps (axios, otel, follow-redirects) and a lodash removal run throughout.
◆ Where it's heading
The 3.14 line reads as a security-and-internals hardening cycle, tightening the agent trust boundary and forge integration rather than pushing features. The earlier 3.11 line shows the more typical mix of per-repo config features and fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect 3.14.0 to converge to a stable release after the RC series, continuing the agent-security and forge-handling focus.
