What is cvms?

A cross-validation package whose real development has moved to its plotting function

cvms runs repeated cross-validation over model formulas and reports comparable metrics. The 2.0.0 release was a breaking correctness fix: every function accepting fold_cols mismatched training and testing data when fold indices were non-sequential, did not start at 1, or were strings, because the iteration index was compared against the raw fold value rather than its factor level index. 2.0.1 restored coefficient extraction for nnet::multinom and mixed models by supplying an environment containing the training data, and followed lme4's move of findbars() into the reformulas package.

What is ManageEngine Applications Manager?

Applications Manager pushes monitoring past the server and out to the end user's network path

Applications Manager ships on a roughly fortnightly build cadence, and each build arrives split across three feed entries — new features, minor enhancements, and issues fixed. Build 182000 adds ISP Latency Monitoring, measuring the network path between EUM agent locations and target hosts. The accompanying enhancements are runtime upgrades (JRE 11 to 17, PostgreSQL 15 to 17, Tomcat), and the fix list is dominated by Oracle monitoring and SSL connection problems.

A cross-validation package whose real development has moved to its plotting function

◆ Current state

cvms runs repeated cross-validation over model formulas and reports comparable metrics. The 2.0.0 release was a breaking correctness fix: every function accepting fold_cols mismatched training and testing data when fold indices were non-sequential, did not start at 1, or were strings, because the iteration index was compared against the raw fold value rather than its factor level index. 2.0.1 restored coefficient extraction for nnet::multinom and mixed models by supplying an environment containing the training data, and followed lme4's move of findbars() into the reformulas package.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run in parallel and only one is about cross-validation. The plotting function plot_confusion_matrix() has absorbed most feature work since 1.5.0 - custom gradient palettes, intensity limits, per-tile settings, dynamic font colors keyed to value thresholds, and arguments that accept functions rather than constants - to the point where a companion web application exists for using it without code. The cross-validation core, by contrast, sees maintenance: upstream compatibility fixes for pROC, ggnewscale and ggplot2, and the fold-matching correction that finally forced a major version.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued option growth in the confusion matrix plotting surface, since that is where nearly every release since 1.5.0 has spent its changes, with core cross-validation changes arriving only as upstream packages force them.

M5.0

Applications Manager pushes monitoring past the server and out to the end user's network path

◆ Current state

Applications Manager ships on a roughly fortnightly build cadence, and each build arrives split across three feed entries — new features, minor enhancements, and issues fixed. Build 182000 adds ISP Latency Monitoring, measuring the network path between EUM agent locations and target hosts. The accompanying enhancements are runtime upgrades (JRE 11 to 17, PostgreSQL 15 to 17, Tomcat), and the fix list is dominated by Oracle monitoring and SSL connection problems.

◆ Where it's heading

The recent builds trace a move from monitoring what a server reports to monitoring what a user experiences: ISP latency here, Capacity Planning widgets that flag idle and undersized resources in the previous build, Emergency Patching before that. The platform underneath is being modernised at the same time — this build alone jumps a major JRE version and two PostgreSQL majors. Oracle monitoring remains the most frequent source of defects across the fix lists.

◆ Prediction

Expect the end-user-experience surface to keep expanding around the EUM agent, and further platform version bumps as the JRE 17 migration settles.
