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 SavvyCal?

SavvyCal keeps polishing scheduling ergonomics on a slow, steady cadence.

SavvyCal is a scheduling tool competing on booking-experience quality. Its changelog moves at a measured pace — roughly one release a month — and the recent run is a series of contained refinements: duplicating workflows, locking links against last-minute changes, per-event buffer control, multi-language booking pages, and improvements to booking on behalf of others.

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.

SavvyCal keeps polishing scheduling ergonomics on a slow, steady cadence.

◆ Current state

SavvyCal is a scheduling tool competing on booking-experience quality. Its changelog moves at a measured pace — roughly one release a month — and the recent run is a series of contained refinements: duplicating workflows, locking links against last-minute changes, per-event buffer control, multi-language booking pages, and improvements to booking on behalf of others.

◆ Where it's heading

The through-line is control and convenience for the host and for assistants who schedule for others: workflow reuse, guardrails on rescheduling, richer contact records, and localized booking pages. Nothing here shifts the product's category; it is deliberate incrementalism aimed at making the existing scheduling surface more flexible and reliable.

◆ Prediction

Expect more of the same — small, self-contained booking and workflow refinements on a monthly rhythm — absent any signal of a larger platform or AI move in these entries.
