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 Kubernetes?

Kubernetes v1.37 promotes gang scheduling and DRA to Beta/GA, formalizing its AI/ML workload stack.

Kubernetes v1.37 is a focused maturation release across two dimensions: core infrastructure (Storage Version Migration to GA, etcd RangeStream to Beta) and AI/ML-specific primitives (Workload-Aware Scheduling with gang scheduling to Beta, DRA Extended Resources to GA, HPA scale-to-zero to Beta). KubeletInUserNamespace (rootless mode) also reaches Beta. The graduation pace is high — capabilities that were Alpha in v1.35-1.36 are now stable.

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.

Kubernetes v1.37 promotes gang scheduling and DRA to Beta/GA, formalizing its AI/ML workload stack.

◆ Current state

Kubernetes v1.37 is a focused maturation release across two dimensions: core infrastructure (Storage Version Migration to GA, etcd RangeStream to Beta) and AI/ML-specific primitives (Workload-Aware Scheduling with gang scheduling to Beta, DRA Extended Resources to GA, HPA scale-to-zero to Beta). KubeletInUserNamespace (rootless mode) also reaches Beta. The graduation pace is high — capabilities that were Alpha in v1.35-1.36 are now stable.

◆ Where it's heading

Kubernetes is systematically assembling a first-class AI/ML compute substrate in-tree. Gang scheduling, DRA, workload-aware preemption, in-place resize, and scale-to-zero together form the primitive set that distributed training and LLM serving require. Previously these capabilities required Volcano or external schedulers; v1.37 puts them at Beta stability, making them safe for production adoption by GPU clusters.

◆ Prediction

v1.38 will likely see WAS, DRA, and rootless mode graduate to GA. Cloud providers' managed Kubernetes offerings will align their feature flags to the v1.37 Beta APIs, and GPU frameworks (Ray, Kubeflow) will adopt native WAS rather than custom scheduler integrations.
