What is Casdoor?

Casdoor is rebuilding its console on shadcn/ui, porting auth features into web2 release by release.

Casdoor tags multiple releases a day, each carrying a single commit, so the version stream reads as a commit log rather than a milestone list. The visible work splits in two: a frontend rewrite called web2 that is absorbing the old antd console into shadcn/ui and re-acquiring features as it goes, and a steady trickle of repairs on the live auth surface covering signup validation, theme handling, and translations. SAML IdP-initiated SSO in v3.161.0 is the only protocol-level addition anywhere in this window.

What is GitHub?

GitHub adds GPT-6.1 Terra to Copilot and makes assisted permissions GA across CLI, app and VS Code.

GitHub's latest releases split between Copilot and enterprise administration. On October 26, GPT-6.1 Terra became generally available in Copilot as a lower-cost model for everyday agentic and terminal work, and assisted permissions went GA in Copilot CLI, the Copilot app and VS Code, helping users decide when Copilot asks to run a command or touch a path. The week before brought enterprise-wide GitHub App installs, public monitoring for leaked secrets with triage and webhooks, and a Copilot app for Teams.

Casdoor is rebuilding its console on shadcn/ui, porting auth features into web2 release by release.

◆ Current state

Casdoor tags multiple releases a day, each carrying a single commit, so the version stream reads as a commit log rather than a milestone list. The visible work splits in two: a frontend rewrite called web2 that is absorbing the old antd console into shadcn/ui and re-acquiring features as it goes, and a steady trickle of repairs on the live auth surface covering signup validation, theme handling, and translations. SAML IdP-initiated SSO in v3.161.0 is the only protocol-level addition anywhere in this window.

◆ Where it's heading

The web2 migration is the spine of this release train, and it is advancing by increments rather than by cutover: code moves across, then the features that code backed get rebuilt on the other side. Everything else in the window is maintenance on the shipping product, sized to single commits. Expect the migration to keep consuming minor versions until web2 reaches parity with the console it replaces.

◆ Prediction

The next releases most likely continue porting console screens into web2 and cleaning up the login theme path that v3.160.0 and v3.163.3 have both touched. The entries give no signal on when web2 becomes the default, so the cutover timing is unclear.

10.0

GitHub adds GPT-6.1 Terra to Copilot and makes assisted permissions GA across CLI, app and VS Code.

◆ Current state

GitHub's latest releases split between Copilot and enterprise administration. On October 26, GPT-6.1 Terra became generally available in Copilot as a lower-cost model for everyday agentic and terminal work, and assisted permissions went GA in Copilot CLI, the Copilot app and VS Code, helping users decide when Copilot asks to run a command or touch a path. The week before brought enterprise-wide GitHub App installs, public monitoring for leaked secrets with triage and webhooks, and a Copilot app for Teams.

◆ Where it's heading

Copilot is becoming an agent that runs commands across several clients, and GitHub is adding the controls that make that tolerable: per-action permission handling for users, global feature defaults and usage metrics for admins. Model choice is moving toward tiers by cost, with cheaper models aimed at routine agent work.

◆ Prediction

Expect more permission and policy controls for Copilot's agent actions, likely surfaced to admins, and further cheaper model options for agentic tasks.
