What is betaselectr?

Standardised coefficients for models where standardising everything is wrong — but the feed only links out

betaselectr computes standardised coefficients selectively, for models where blanket standardisation misleads — interaction terms, categorical predictors and moderated effects, where standardising the product term or a dummy variable produces a number that does not mean what readers assume. It has been on CRAN since November 2024 across three releases. What those releases contain cannot be determined from this feed.

What is ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus?

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

Standardised coefficients for models where standardising everything is wrong — but the feed only links out

◆ Current state

betaselectr computes standardised coefficients selectively, for models where blanket standardisation misleads — interaction terms, categorical predictors and moderated effects, where standardising the product term or a dummy variable produces a number that does not mean what readers assume. It has been on CRAN since November 2024 across three releases. What those releases contain cannot be determined from this feed.

◆ Where it's heading

This changelog carries no release content. Every entry is a pointer to the CRAN page and to a changelog hosted on the package's own site, so the direction of development is not readable from what is published here. What the version numbers alone support is a package that reached CRAN in late 2024 and has issued two patch releases since, at roughly six-month intervals, without a minor version bump.

◆ Prediction

No prediction is supportable from these entries; the feed would need to carry actual release notes, or the package's own site would need to be read directly, before its direction could be called.

M2.5

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

◆ Current state

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is coverage expansion: methodically extending what can be backed up and restored across on-prem AD and Entra ID, while broadening cloud storage targets and operational integrations. The dependence on Microsoft's own PowerShell modules is the cost of that coverage, and 6322 shows where it bites — a stale module on the customer's side takes the product down mid-enumeration. Feature builds and pure-fix builds alternate at roughly a two-month cadence, so a single-issue build reads as a gap between feature cycles rather than a slowdown.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build; the next build carrying a Features section is due on the cadence this feed has held.
