What is aniread?
aniread stops asking you to know which tracker wrote the file
aniread is the reader package of the animovement suite, importing output from pose-estimation, centroid and behavioural-scoring tools into aniframe objects. Through 0.5.x the work was per-reader: get_supported_sources() exposed the format list programmatically, read_boris() added behavioural events, and Octron and BORIS each got targeted fixes. 0.6.0 changes the shape of the interface itself — read_dataset() takes any supported file through one entry point and detect_source() works out which software wrote it by inspecting contents, not just the suffix.
What is Feedly?
Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.

◆ Current state
aniread is the reader package of the animovement suite, importing output from pose-estimation, centroid and behavioural-scoring tools into aniframe objects. Through 0.5.x the work was per-reader: get_supported_sources() exposed the format list programmatically, read_boris() added behavioural events, and Octron and BORIS each got targeted fixes. 0.6.0 changes the shape of the interface itself — read_dataset() takes any supported file through one entry point and detect_source() works out which software wrote it by inspecting contents, not just the suffix.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is moving from a set of named readers to a dispatcher with the readers behind it, and the hard part is being handled rather than hidden: twelve sources emit .csv, so detection narrows by suffix then inspects content, and DeepLabCut and LightningPose files are structurally identical so it returns the combined 'deeplabcut/lightningpose' rather than guessing wrong. The honesty extends to gaps — optional-dependency detectors are skipped when the package is absent and the error names what was skipped, and SLEAP's csv suffix was withdrawn because auto-detection would have routed files into a reader that cannot read them. Alongside this, read_trackball() was substantially repaired for real two-sensor Bonsai captures, where alignment, clocks, corrupt rows and gap filling were each independently wrong.
◆ Prediction
Expect the withdrawn SLEAP csv suffix to return once read_sleap() gains support, since the changelog explicitly parks it against issue #87. Further detectors are the natural next increment, and the sensor-local-clock warning class suggests trackball alignment is not finished.

Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
◆ Current state
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from retrieval toward analysis: earlier releases broadened what Feedly could collect, recent ones give analysts agents that reason over it and emit artifacts their existing tools accept. Report Builder citations that trace a claim to its source passage target the trust problem gating generated intelligence in a SOC. Coverage has become table stakes; the contest is over whether analysts accept the machine's conclusions.
◆ Prediction
Expect the agent surface to keep gaining verbs rather than new data sources, with more export formats aimed at the SIEM and detection tooling analysts already run.
