What is campsis?

Campsis breaks its API on purpose: snake_case throughout, RxODE compatibility cut loose.

Campsis runs clinical-trial simulations from pharmacometric models, sitting on mrgsolve and rxode2 as interchangeable engines, with the sibling package Campsismod supplying the model object layer. Version 1.9.0 is the release where the suite stops carrying its history: the whole API migrates to snake_case, backward compatibility with the old RxODE package is removed, and result processing is refactored into output functions that can be applied as a collection, with an NCA table the first substantial one. Campsismod made the same snake_case move a week earlier, so this is a suite-wide rename rather than one package's decision.

What is GitHub?

Security and governance controls catch up to the Copilot build-out

GitHub's shipping split cleanly this window: platform security and governance on one side, Copilot model rotation on the other. Credential revocation now works by token type during an incident, OAuth apps can opt into expiring tokens with refresh, and enterprise managed settings reached Copilot for JetBrains. Code Quality gained a Trends tab at the organization level, and CodeQL 2.26.3 improved JavaScript, TypeScript and Vue modeling alongside GitHub Actions queries.

Campsis breaks its API on purpose: snake_case throughout, RxODE compatibility cut loose.

◆ Current state

Campsis runs clinical-trial simulations from pharmacometric models, sitting on mrgsolve and rxode2 as interchangeable engines, with the sibling package Campsismod supplying the model object layer. Version 1.9.0 is the release where the suite stops carrying its history: the whole API migrates to snake_case, backward compatibility with the old RxODE package is removed, and result processing is refactored into output functions that can be applied as a collection, with an NCA table the first substantial one. Campsismod made the same snake_case move a week earlier, so this is a suite-wide rename rather than one package's decision.

◆ Where it's heading

The 1.8 and 1.9 releases together describe a package being made drivable from outside R. JSON interfaces arrived first for models in Campsismod 1.3.0 and for datasets in Campsis 1.8.0, then extended to scenarios, settings and study replication; the output side has now been generalised the same way, from fixed result processing to a collection of output functions applied to simulated results. Renaming every function and cutting RxODE loose is the cost of that consolidation, paid in one deliberate breaking release rather than spread across several.

◆ Prediction

With the rename and the RxODE removal behind it, the next releases should restore the rxode2 engine to the test suite, which 1.9.0 removed temporarily, and continue filling out the output-function catalogue beyond NCA. The JSON surface looks like the intended entry point for driving Campsis from outside R, though the entries do not say what is meant to consume it.

Security and governance controls catch up to the Copilot build-out

◆ Current state

GitHub's shipping split cleanly this window: platform security and governance on one side, Copilot model rotation on the other. Credential revocation now works by token type during an incident, OAuth apps can opt into expiring tokens with refresh, and enterprise managed settings reached Copilot for JetBrains. Code Quality gained a Trends tab at the organization level, and CodeQL 2.26.3 improved JavaScript, TypeScript and Vue modeling alongside GitHub Actions queries.

◆ Where it's heading

The interesting work has moved from adding Copilot surfaces to governing them. Enterprise managed settings, MCP allowlists, and per-token-type revocation are all answers to the same question — how an administrator controls an agent fleet — and they are arriving faster than the agent features themselves now. Model additions have become routine catalogue maintenance, individually low-signal.

◆ Prediction

Expect enterprise managed settings to keep extending to the remaining Copilot clients, and OAuth token expiry to move from opt-in toward default once adoption data supports it. The weekly model cadence should continue with little signal in any single addition.
