cIRT
A choice-based IRT model published once in 2019 and kept compiling ever since
A side-by-side editorial comparison of enderecobr and lazyeval — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Brazilian address standardisation moves its core to Rust, betting on throughput over pure R
enderecobr standardises Brazilian address fields — street types, neighbourhoods, states, postcodes, house numbers — into consistent forms so records from different registries can be compared. It comes out of the ipeaGIT ecosystem and its API is a family of padronizar_* functions plus one padronizar_enderecos() that runs them together. The 0.5.0 release rewrote those standardisation functions in Rust with a documented speedup.
A package retired in 2017 just got rewritten against R's public C API.
lazyeval was the tidyverse's pre-rlang non-standard evaluation layer, formally set aside in 2017 when tidy evaluation replaced it. After eight and a half years without a release, 0.2.3 arrives as a compliance rewrite: the implementation now uses R's public C API, and the release note states it may differ from the historical one in subtle ways. Nothing about the package's role has changed.

The 0.5.0 release rewrote those standardisation functions in Rust with a documented speedup.
Two years of releases were about control and correctness: new formato arguments letting callers choose state names or abbreviations, integers or characters for house numbers, and a run of fixes for numbers mangled by thousands separators. That work settled the semantics. With the behaviour pinned down, the Rust rewrite becomes the natural next move, and the release pairs it with new matching rules for the two messiest fields, neighbourhoods and street names.
The rewrite covers the standardisation functions specifically, so the remaining pure-R paths around them are the likely next targets, alongside continued rule additions for street and neighbourhood variants.

Nothing about the package's role has changed.
This is a dormancy revival driven entirely from outside, R core tightening what counts as the public C API forces packages using older internals to be rewritten or be archived. lazyeval is still a dependency deep in older package trees, so keeping it installable matters more than developing it. The caveat about subtle behavioural differences is the notable part: a package nobody is developing has changed behaviour in ways its release note declines to enumerate.
Expect no further development, only additional compliance releases if R core tightens the C API again.

Latest ship moves from both products, interleaved chronologically. ⚡ = editorial spark.
They serve adjacent needs but don't currently overlap on shipped themes. enderecobr and lazyeval are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band). See the at-a-glance table above for a side-by-side breakdown of velocity, recent sparks, and editorial themes.
Sparkpulse doesn't pick a winner — we score release velocity, not feature parity. enderecobr and lazyeval are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band).
