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 Merge?
Merge's weekly cadence is all connector depth: no new categories, no agent surface.
Merge ships a dated digest every week, and for the last three months the contents have been uniform: per-connector mapping fixes, pagination and sync-reliability work, and incremental field coverage across Sage Intacct, NetSuite, SharePoint and QuickBooks Online. The one product-surface change in the window is per-integration customization of the Link setup flow, which lets customers hide auth steps and the Selective Sync screen for specific integrations. Everything else is fidelity work on integrations Merge already supports.

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.
Merge
5.0INFRA · APIS
Merge's weekly cadence is all connector depth: no new categories, no agent surface.
◆ Current state
Merge ships a dated digest every week, and for the last three months the contents have been uniform: per-connector mapping fixes, pagination and sync-reliability work, and incremental field coverage across Sage Intacct, NetSuite, SharePoint and QuickBooks Online. The one product-surface change in the window is per-integration customization of the Link setup flow, which lets customers hide auth steps and the Selective Sync screen for specific integrations. Everything else is fidelity work on integrations Merge already supports.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc points at depth over breadth. Merge is spending its release budget making existing connectors survive large accounts — big item catalogs, user-defined dimensions, high attachment volumes — rather than adding new verticals. Accounting and File Storage absorb most of each week's entries, with ATS and CRM getting steady but thinner attention, and nothing in the window suggests a change to the unified-API model itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next several digests to continue the Sage Intacct, NetSuite and SharePoint deepening, with further Link-flow configuration options as the main user-visible additions. The entries give no signal either way on whether Merge plans an agent- or MCP-facing surface.
