Casdoor vs Redocly: at a glance
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 Redocly?
Redocly gives its docs MCP server its own name and public endpoint settings.
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin, mostly around access: 30-day sessions on hosted projects, fixed project lists for restricted members, and invites that no longer demote owners. On October 27 Reunite started saving the project config for Realm Plus builds, so access rules, AI assistant and MCP hide options and publish rules match the live site. @redocly/config 0.68.0 replaces the mcp.docs object with mcp.name, mcp.ignore and mcp.publicEndpoint options.

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.
Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly gives its docs MCP server its own name and public endpoint settings.
◆ Current state
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin, mostly around access: 30-day sessions on hosted projects, fixed project lists for restricted members, and invites that no longer demote owners. On October 27 Reunite started saving the project config for Realm Plus builds, so access rules, AI assistant and MCP hide options and publish rules match the live site. @redocly/config 0.68.0 replaces the mcp.docs object with mcp.name, mcp.ignore and mcp.publicEndpoint options.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server Redocly generates for docs sites is becoming a configurable product surface of its own, following last week's MCP-URL page actions. Around it, Reunite work stays focused on making permissions and config behave the same in Reunite as on the published site.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP and AI assistant options in @redocly/config, with follow-up fixes as Realm Plus projects move onto the Reunite config path.
