SERVER RELEASE v2026.6.16
2026-06-20

Important Information

• Some users might not receive notifications following this update. To fix the issue, the user needs to open the mobile app and connect to the server.

New Features, Fixes & Improvements

  • Remove the Capacitorhttp plugin and fix the mobile app swticher issues that will follow. —> Implemented & Tested
• The registered device section of the user settings is a mess.
  • It’s trying to track both sessions and notification tokens, but does not rely on a single source of truth.

SERVER RELEASE v2026.6.14
2026-06-16

New Features, Fixes & Improvements

• Casdoor URL is not being updated when the Server URL is changed in server settings
  • Because of this, if a user changes their server URL, the casdoor instance will keep redirecting to the URL the server was initially set up with. If this url is a local ip or a URL that no longer points to the server, things will break.
  • Call the system setup routine creating the app.conf to update the file everytime the the server url is changed. —> Implemented & Tested

SERVER RELEASE v2026.6.13
2026-06-15

New Features, Fixes & Improvements

• Sometimes, when the mobile app resume from sleep, the idp shows up instead of simply login the user in
  • The idp should only ever appear when the refresh cookie is expired. This is not the case here. I suspect a race condition between the mobile os getting the cookies from disk and Spokes Blazor connection trying to reconnect.

SERVER RELEASE v2026.6.12
2026-06-15

New Features, Fixes & Improvements

• Logout bug when using Discord as a provider in Casdoor
  • The Discord ID token is too big to be stored in the cookie. This causes the reverse proxies in front of Spokes to crash and return 502. Fix : Replaced the legacy HTTP redirect logout mechanism with a robust, browser-initiated GET routing system. This resolves multiple edge-case crashes across various infrastructure setups.

  • On iphone, the user often ends up on this page. The page : Access Denied - You are signed in, but you do not… Clicking on back to dashboard twice fixes the issue —> Implemented & Tested (Implemented in ios-v2026.6.2)

SERVER RELEASE v2026.6.7
2026-06-11

Work in Progress & Minor Changes

• Chat bugs - Copy button for code blocks does not work

• Chat bugs - Add a channel delete button to the channel info panel.

• Voice chat

• SSO improvements
  • Test that Casdoor can easily be used as a provider with other apps

  • make password manager save the secure chat password under a different credential
  • No auto fill for the channel search text box
  • Pressing enter should work to confirm the password on the channel locked prompt
• Voice chat bugs
  • Long voice chat sessions seem to cause all kind of issues. I suspect some, if not most, are caused by a problem in how the dom is managed in voice channels.
  • Sometimes, in a voice channel with 2 users, one user stops hearing the other one. Nothing changes on the ui. After a while everything starts working again. Nothing changed in the ui at any point.
  • Remove the share screen button from mobile
