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 tern.rbmi?

Reference-based multiple imputation tables, shipping only what CRAN checks demand.

tern.rbmi renders the output of {rbmi} reference-based multiple imputation analyses into tern tables for clinical reporting. Its three most recent releases exist to satisfy CRAN: restricting vignette builds to gcc, adding V8 to Suggests, and a plain resubmission. No user-facing functionality has changed in the visible window, and the three older entries now backfilled are version-bump automation.

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.

Reference-based multiple imputation tables, shipping only what CRAN checks demand.

◆ Current state

tern.rbmi renders the output of {rbmi} reference-based multiple imputation analyses into tern tables for clinical reporting. Its three most recent releases exist to satisfy CRAN: restricting vignette builds to gcc, adding V8 to Suggests, and a plain resubmission. No user-facing functionality has changed in the visible window, and the three older entries now backfilled are version-bump automation.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a thin adapter package and behaves like one — it moves when CRAN or an upstream dependency forces it to. Between 2022 and 2024 the feed shows only version bumps, and the 2025 releases are packaging concerns rather than analysis changes. The newly surfaced 2022 entries reinforce rather than change that reading.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release to be triggered by a CRAN check failure or an {rbmi} update rather than by new tabulation features.
