A side-by-side editorial comparison of Casdoor and profoc — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Casdoor vs profoc: at a glance
What is Casdoor?
An identity platform tightening server-side enforcement one micro-release at a time.
Casdoor is a self-hosted single sign-on and identity management service covering OAuth, LDAP, MFA and user administration. It releases continuously — four tags landed within eighty minutes on 16 August — with each carrying a single commit, so a version number here marks one change rather than a bundle.
What is profoc?
A forecast combination package that spun its profiler out into its own project
profoc combines probabilistic forecasts online, using the Bernstein online aggregation family with B-spline smoothing over quantiles and time. The recent releases are infrastructure rather than method: 1.3.4 removed a using namespace arma directive for CRAN compliance and closed a timer edge case, 1.3.3 adjusted the integration with rcpptimer against its now-stable 1.2.0 API. The last release to change what users can do was 1.3.0, which exposed the conline C++ class to R and exported init_experts_list(), make_basis_mats(), make_hat_mats() and post_process_model() so the engine can be driven directly.

Casdoor
5.0INFRA · APIS
An identity platform tightening server-side enforcement one micro-release at a time.
◆ Current state
Casdoor is a self-hosted single sign-on and identity management service covering OAuth, LDAP, MFA and user administration. It releases continuously — four tags landed within eighty minutes on 16 August — with each carrying a single commit, so a version number here marks one change rather than a bundle.
◆ Where it's heading
The recent run is almost entirely about moving enforcement to where it cannot be bypassed. Password update and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, the column whitelist is respected when an admin updates a user, and sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden. Each of these closes a gap where the client or an administrative path could sidestep a rule the product already claimed to apply. LDAP search by uidNumber and gidNumber and phone number normalisation round out the same period.
◆ Prediction
Expect the per-commit release cadence to continue, with further authorization-boundary fixes given three of the last five entries address exactly that. Nothing here signals a larger architectural change.

◆ Current state
profoc combines probabilistic forecasts online, using the Bernstein online aggregation family with B-spline smoothing over quantiles and time. The recent releases are infrastructure rather than method: 1.3.4 removed a using namespace arma directive for CRAN compliance and closed a timer edge case, 1.3.3 adjusted the integration with rcpptimer against its now-stable 1.2.0 API. The last release to change what users can do was 1.3.0, which exposed the conline C++ class to R and exported init_experts_list(), make_basis_mats(), make_hat_mats() and post_process_model() so the engine can be driven directly.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is toward a reusable C++ core with thin language bindings. The timing code that lived inside profoc was extracted into the standalone rcpptimer package in 1.3.2, deliberately so other R packages and Python projects could use it through cpptimer and cppytimer, and the clock header was reworked in 1.3.1 to maximise the code shared between the R and Python versions. Method work sits earlier in the history - periodic splines and penalties in 1.2.0, the penalty() function in 1.1.0 - while the recent cadence, a single release in the last sixteen months, points at a package the maintainer considers finished.
◆ Prediction
The repeated references to future Python use suggest the next significant work happens outside this package, in the shared C++ components, rather than in profoc's R surface.
