Casdoor vs Fission
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Casdoor and Fission — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Casdoor vs Fission: at a glance
What is Casdoor?
Casdoor ships a version bump per commit, and the recent run is all tenancy hardening.
Casdoor tags a release on nearly every merge — ten versions between August 4 and August 10, most carrying a single commit. The recent run clusters on two threads: multi-tenant isolation (cross-organization webhook restrictions, organization checks on add APIs, Casbin group rules following user renames) and DingTalk integration repair. Individually each release is small; read together they are a sustained pass over organization boundaries.
What is Fission?
Fission's release feed carries only RC tags, and none of them say what shipped
Every entry here is a release candidate — v1.22.0-rc1 and rc2, v1.23.0-rc1, v1.25.0-rc1 — with no final release appearing between them, and the version sequence skips 1.24 entirely. The bodies are whatever the tagging commit said, so what reaches this feed is a dependabot bump, a CLI tool-version refresh, a codegen sync explicitly labelled as having no functional change, and one entry that is nothing but links to an external release-highlights page. The actual release notes live on the project's documentation site, not here.

Casdoor
5.0INFRA · APIS
Casdoor ships a version bump per commit, and the recent run is all tenancy hardening.
◆ Current state
Casdoor tags a release on nearly every merge — ten versions between August 4 and August 10, most carrying a single commit. The recent run clusters on two threads: multi-tenant isolation (cross-organization webhook restrictions, organization checks on add APIs, Casbin group rules following user renames) and DingTalk integration repair. Individually each release is small; read together they are a sustained pass over organization boundaries.
◆ Where it's heading
The organization is becoming the unit of configuration. Record retention days, default token format, master-password hashing and LDAP visibility all became per-organization concerns inside a single week. That is the shape of a project hardening for multi-tenant deployment rather than adding end-user features, and the cross-organization webhook restriction in the newest release is the clearest statement of it so far.
◆ Prediction
Expect the per-organization configuration surface to keep growing and more cross-organization access checks on the remaining endpoints, since the last week has moved steadily in that direction. The per-commit release cadence means this will arrive as another ten small versions rather than one milestone.

◆ Current state
Every entry here is a release candidate — v1.22.0-rc1 and rc2, v1.23.0-rc1, v1.25.0-rc1 — with no final release appearing between them, and the version sequence skips 1.24 entirely. The bodies are whatever the tagging commit said, so what reaches this feed is a dependabot bump, a CLI tool-version refresh, a codegen sync explicitly labelled as having no functional change, and one entry that is nothing but links to an external release-highlights page. The actual release notes live on the project's documentation site, not here.
◆ Where it's heading
What can be read from these tags is infrastructure maintenance rather than product direction: Go dependency updates, helm and kind and skaffold and cosign version refreshes, and regenerated swagger and applyconfiguration files kept in sync with CEL and webhook validation comments in the core API types. That last one is the only entry hinting at anything structural — CEL-based validation on the API types implies declarative validation moving into the CRDs — but the commit itself changes only generated output.
◆ Prediction
This feed does not carry enough to predict product direction; until final releases or their notes appear here rather than only candidate tags, any read of where Fission is heading would be guesswork.
