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 CRI-O?

Patch tags land monthly with release notes that itemize nothing.

The three most recent CRI-O entries are v1.34.11, v1.34.10 and v1.33.13, cut roughly a month apart across two supported minor lines. All three carry auto-generated notes whose 'Changes by Kind' sections are empty or labelled Uncategorized, with the body given over to download bundles, checksums, SPDX manifests and signatures. Only v1.34.10 admits to a Bug or Regression category, and does not say what it was.

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.

2.5

Patch tags land monthly with release notes that itemize nothing.

◆ Current state

The three most recent CRI-O entries are v1.34.11, v1.34.10 and v1.33.13, cut roughly a month apart across two supported minor lines. All three carry auto-generated notes whose 'Changes by Kind' sections are empty or labelled Uncategorized, with the body given over to download bundles, checksums, SPDX manifests and signatures. Only v1.34.10 admits to a Bug or Regression category, and does not say what it was.

◆ Where it's heading

What the feed does show is release engineering: every tag ships static bundles per architecture with checksums, SPDX SBOMs and signing bundles, which is the supply-chain posture Kubernetes runtimes are now expected to hold. The absence of itemized changes means the actual runtime work is invisible here, so read this feed as a release calendar for the 1.33 and 1.34 branches rather than a changelog.

◆ Prediction

Expect the same monthly patch cadence on both maintained branches, with content that stays uncategorized unless the project changes how it generates notes.
