Casdoor vs saperlipopette: at a glance
What is Casdoor?
Casdoor is spending its release cadence moving auth checks from the client to the server
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.
What is saperlipopette?
saperlipopette turned Git disasters into practice exercises, then passed peer review
saperlipopette creates disposable Git repositories in a temporary path, each staged into a specific broken or interesting state so users can practice recovering from it. Three releases span October 2025 to May 2026, ending with a 1.0.0 that reflects completed rOpenSci-style peer review — reviewers and editors are named in the release notes.

Casdoor is spending its release cadence moving auth checks from the client to the server
◆ Current state
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.
◆ Where it's heading
Read together, these commits describe one job: closing the gap between what the console enforces and what the backend enforces. Several of them move a check that previously lived in the UI into the server, which is the work of a project being deployed into environments that audit it. New authentication providers and integrations have thinned relative to this hardening pass.
◆ Prediction
The next releases most likely continue the same sweep - remaining endpoints where an admin or user request is trusted more than the server verifies - rather than adding a new identity provider.

saperlipopette turned Git disasters into practice exercises, then passed peer review
◆ Current state
saperlipopette creates disposable Git repositories in a temporary path, each staged into a specific broken or interesting state so users can practice recovering from it. Three releases span October 2025 to May 2026, ending with a 1.0.0 that reflects completed rOpenSci-style peer review — reviewers and editors are named in the release notes.
◆ Where it's heading
The package grew its exercise catalogue and then stopped to be reviewed. 0.1.1 added five exercises covering git blame, finding deleted files and lines via git log, ancestry parsing with rev-parse, and worktrees, and added switch/restore instructions alongside the checkout equivalents. 1.0.0 adds no exercises at all: it is interface polish, clarified use cases, documented workflows on every manual page, and internal renaming to align scripts with the functions they contain. Internationalisation was in from 0.1.0, with Spanish and French translations of both messages and commit messages.
◆ Prediction
With review complete and the structure documented, adding exercises is the cheap next move — the 0.1.1 batch shows the pattern. Whether more translations follow depends on contributors the entries do not name.
