What is DMRnet?

A categorical-variable selection package that publishes its full test logs as release candidates.

DMRnet implements delete-or-merge-regressors model selection for high-dimensional categorical data, alongside SOSnet and GLAMER variants from the same research group. Development is slow and academic — 0.4.0 in 2023, then two years to 0.4.1 in August 2025, which corrects an invalid lambda.1se computation and the cross-validation plots that displayed it. Every real release is preceded days earlier by a release-candidate entry containing the raw output of the correctness and consistency test suite.

What is ToolJet?

Observability lands on OpenTelemetry semconv in the LTS train

ToolJet runs two lines in parallel and both are in a steady groove. The LTS train picked up frontend and app observability built on OpenTelemetry semantic conventions plus primary and backup access, following a 3.20.212 release that carried the substantive feature batch — dynamic height across Timeline, Filepicker, Reorderable List, RadioButtonV2 and Tags, dynamic number formats on Currency Input, camera flip on mobile, and AI build notifications. The beta line is mostly fixes and LTS cherry-picks.

A categorical-variable selection package that publishes its full test logs as release candidates.

◆ Current state

DMRnet implements delete-or-merge-regressors model selection for high-dimensional categorical data, alongside SOSnet and GLAMER variants from the same research group. Development is slow and academic — 0.4.0 in 2023, then two years to 0.4.1 in August 2025, which corrects an invalid lambda.1se computation and the cross-validation plots that displayed it. Every real release is preceded days earlier by a release-candidate entry containing the raw output of the correctness and consistency test suite.

◆ Where it's heading

The package is converging on correctness rather than expanding. 0.3.3 was a wall of fixes to inference, log-likelihood, and degenerate cross-validation cases; 0.4.0 added the var_sel algorithm and brought GLAMER into the package's own net idiom over its tau parameter; 0.4.1 is again a statistical correctness fix. The published test-log releases are the tell — this maintainer treats reproducible evidence that hard cases still pass as part of the release artifact, which is unusual outside academic statistical software.

◆ Prediction

Given the two-year gap before 0.4.1 and its narrow scope, the next release is most likely another correctness fix arriving on a multi-year cadence, again preceded by a full test-log release candidate.

Observability lands on OpenTelemetry semconv in the LTS train

◆ Current state

ToolJet runs two lines in parallel and both are in a steady groove. The LTS train picked up frontend and app observability built on OpenTelemetry semantic conventions plus primary and backup access, following a 3.20.212 release that carried the substantive feature batch — dynamic height across Timeline, Filepicker, Reorderable List, RadioButtonV2 and Tags, dynamic number formats on Currency Input, camera flip on mobile, and AI build notifications. The beta line is mostly fixes and LTS cherry-picks.

◆ Where it's heading

Most releases are small and corrective, with feature work collecting into occasional larger LTS drops. The recurring themes are component sizing, which appears in nearly every release, and enterprise-operations work — global data source certificates, automated RDS SSL setup, CVE patching, and now standards-based observability. It reads as a platform hardening for self-hosted enterprise deployments.

◆ Prediction

Expect the dynamic-height and sizing pass to continue across the remaining widgets, and the beta line's AI datasource integrations to graduate into the LTS train. Standardizing on OTel semconv suggests exported traces and metrics for customer-run dashboards next.
