What is Apache CloudStack?

CloudStack ships two LTS branches in lockstep and publishes nothing but pointers

Apache CloudStack maintains 4.20 and 4.22 as parallel LTS lines and tags them together — 4.20.3.1 and 4.22.1.1 were cut 49 minutes apart, both with bodies that say only which branch was tagged. The release entries themselves carry no content: the standard body is a set of links to release notes, install, upgrade, admin, and API docs hosted elsewhere. The one exception is the security releases, where the CVE list is written inline.

What is traumar?

Trauma registry statistics in R, tightening the numbers it reports against the literature.

traumar computes trauma-centre performance measures from registry data, including relative mortality metrics, SEQIC quality indicators and predicted survival probability. The recent releases are dominated by correctness rather than coverage: 1.2.5 changed how the denominator for SEQIC indicator 7 is derived so it reflects the definitive care population rather than a raw row count, and 1.2.3 realigned probability_of_survival() with published coefficients. Version 1.2.6 completes a deprecation, turning the old n_decimal argument into an error.

CloudStack ships two LTS branches in lockstep and publishes nothing but pointers

◆ Current state

Apache CloudStack maintains 4.20 and 4.22 as parallel LTS lines and tags them together — 4.20.3.1 and 4.22.1.1 were cut 49 minutes apart, both with bodies that say only which branch was tagged. The release entries themselves carry no content: the standard body is a set of links to release notes, install, upgrade, admin, and API docs hosted elsewhere. The one exception is the security releases, where the CVE list is written inline.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is stable and unlikely to change: maintenance releases on both LTS lines, a regular release on its own cadence, and security fixes backported across every supported branch at once. Because the feed only becomes descriptive when an advisory forces detail into it, the visible record of this project skews heavily toward vulnerabilities — seven CVEs across backups, templates, and cross-tenant Proxmox access in May alone — and says almost nothing about features.

◆ Prediction

Expect the paired-branch tagging to continue, with the next informative entry being a security release rather than a feature one. Nothing in this feed supports a claim about where CloudStack's capabilities are heading; that information lives in the release notes it links to.

0.0

Trauma registry statistics in R, tightening the numbers it reports against the literature.

◆ Current state

traumar computes trauma-centre performance measures from registry data, including relative mortality metrics, SEQIC quality indicators and predicted survival probability. The recent releases are dominated by correctness rather than coverage: 1.2.5 changed how the denominator for SEQIC indicator 7 is derived so it reflects the definitive care population rather than a raw row count, and 1.2.3 realigned probability_of_survival() with published coefficients. Version 1.2.6 completes a deprecation, turning the old n_decimal argument into an error.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a package whose outputs are reported numbers, and it is behaving accordingly: the notable changes in this window alter results rather than add features. A denominator computed as a row count instead of a filtered population, and a survival calculation not matching the coefficients it cites, are both the kind of defect that quietly propagates into published figures, and both were corrected here. Around that sit in-house validation helpers written deliberately to avoid a new dependency, and a steady tidy-up of tests and tooling.

◆ Prediction

Expect the validation family introduced in 1.2.4 to be applied more widely across the package's entry points, now that it exists and is deliberately kept internal. Further SEQIC indicators being reviewed against their definitions looks likely given indicator 7 needed it, though the entries name no specific one as next.
