Casdoor vs ggInterval: 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 ggInterval?
Interval-valued data plotting, spending 2026 making its function names and examples survive CRAN.
ggInterval visualizes symbolic interval-valued data — observations recorded as ranges rather than points — with a family of plot functions in the ggplot2 idiom. The plot catalogue grew most recently with interval correlation heatmaps and interval line plots compatible with time-series input. The three releases before that were corrections: seven plot functions renamed for consistency, examples switched from dontrun to donttest at CRAN's request, and a vignette rewritten to demonstrate every function in one place.

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.

0.0INFRA · APIS
Interval-valued data plotting, spending 2026 making its function names and examples survive CRAN.
◆ Current state
ggInterval visualizes symbolic interval-valued data — observations recorded as ranges rather than points — with a family of plot functions in the ggplot2 idiom. The plot catalogue grew most recently with interval correlation heatmaps and interval line plots compatible with time-series input. The three releases before that were corrections: seven plot functions renamed for consistency, examples switched from dontrun to donttest at CRAN's request, and a vignette rewritten to demonstrate every function in one place.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is consolidating an interface that had drifted. Renaming seven functions in a single release is the clearest signal — the naming was inconsistent enough to be worth breaking, and the vignette rewrite that followed suggests discoverability was the underlying complaint. Underneath that, the additions are steady and narrow: each release brings interval-aware versions of plot types that already exist for point data, which is the whole premise of the package.
◆ Prediction
The pattern of porting one more standard plot type into interval-aware form each release is the most likely continuation; the tsplot compatibility in the latest version hints that time-series interval data is the direction attracting attention.
