CatastRoNav vs rjd3highfreq
A side-by-side editorial comparison of CatastRoNav and rjd3highfreq — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
CatastRoNav vs rjd3highfreq: at a glance
What is CatastRoNav?
Navarre's cadastre client finally reaches feature parity with its bigger Spanish sibling.
CatastRoNav wraps the Cadastre of Navarre, a Spanish region that publishes its own cadastral services separately from the national system. Until 1.0.0 the package could only fetch cadastral parcels via ATOM; it now retrieves buildings and addresses through ATOM as well and adds WMS INSPIRE layer access through catrnav_wms_get_layer(). The same release relicenses to GPL-2, moves requests to httr2 with retries and switches messaging to cli.
What is rjd3highfreq?
rjd3highfreq ships whatever the Java side ships, and only occasionally says what that was.
An R wrapper around JDemetra+ routines for seasonal adjustment of high-frequency time series, built on fractional airline decomposition. Only three releases are on record, roughly one every six months, and two of them describe nothing beyond updated .jar files. The package is a thin binding whose substance lives in the Java libraries it packages, and the release notes reflect that literally.

Navarre's cadastre client finally reaches feature parity with its bigger Spanish sibling.
◆ Current state
CatastRoNav wraps the Cadastre of Navarre, a Spanish region that publishes its own cadastral services separately from the national system. Until 1.0.0 the package could only fetch cadastral parcels via ATOM; it now retrieves buildings and addresses through ATOM as well and adds WMS INSPIRE layer access through catrnav_wms_get_layer(). The same release relicenses to GPL-2, moves requests to httr2 with retries and switches messaging to cli.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is being pulled into line with CatastRo, the maintainer's national-cadastre client: same transport, same UTF-8 normalization strategy, same option names falling back to the CatastRo equivalents. Coverage has been gated by what the Navarre Cadastre actually publishes — 0.1.0 said outright that further ATOM capabilities would arrive when the regional service made them available, and 1.0.0 is that promise landing.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to track new Navarre service endpoints as they are published, and to inherit whatever maintenance pattern CatastRo adopts next.
rjd3highfreq
0.0ANALYTICS
rjd3highfreq ships whatever the Java side ships, and only occasionally says what that was.
◆ Current state
An R wrapper around JDemetra+ routines for seasonal adjustment of high-frequency time series, built on fractional airline decomposition. Only three releases are on record, roughly one every six months, and two of them describe nothing beyond updated .jar files. The package is a thin binding whose substance lives in the Java libraries it packages, and the release notes reflect that literally.
◆ Where it's heading
The one release with detail points at where the work actually is: 2.4.1 exposes eps and deps parameters on fractionalAirlineDecomposition(), controlling the optimisation routine's convergence precision and the step size for its numerical derivatives. That is tuning access for users whose series were not converging well under the defaults, and it is the only user-facing surface change visible here. The earlier entry even appears under a different package name, rjd3xhighfreq, which suggests some instability in how this line is published.
◆ Prediction
Expect further releases tracking JDemetra+ .jar versions, with R-level parameters exposed only as specific estimation problems surface; the entries do not support a firmer read than that.
