eratosthenes spends 0.1.0 hardening inputs rather than adding chronology methods.
eratosthenes does Bayesian estimation of archaeological chronologies from relative sequences, absolute constraints and artifact assemblages. The 0.0.9 line built out the inference diagnostics — traceplots, histograms, batch-means MCSE reporting, displacement estimation — and then consolidated artifact probability-density estimation into a single gibbs_ad_type(). The 0.1.0 tag turns outward instead, adding validators for every user-supplied structure and replacing seq_check() with a more informative seq_diag().
ScreenshotOne grinds out reliability and quietly tailors output for AI workflows
ScreenshotOne ships a steady stream of small, focused improvements to its rendering API — cache reliability, full-page stitching fixes, banner blocking, and admin and notification conveniences. The one strategic thread is tooling aimed at AI analysis, like splitting full-page captures into slices.

The package is moving from research code to something a non-author can run. Consolidating estimation behind one function, then wrapping every input class in a validator, are the two steps that make failures legible instead of cryptic, and the diagnostics added earlier serve the same end for the sampler itself. Nothing in the window changes the underlying model; the work is all about making it usable and its output checkable.
With inputs validated and diagnostics in place, the next release is more likely to extend the constraint or assemblage modelling than to keep reworking the interface, though the feed's three sparse tags give little to read a cadence from.
ScreenshotOne ships a steady stream of small, focused improvements to its rendering API — cache reliability, full-page stitching fixes, banner blocking, and admin and notification conveniences. The one strategic thread is tooling aimed at AI analysis, like splitting full-page captures into slices.
The product is maturing as dependable infrastructure rather than chasing big features, with incremental quality and rendering-fidelity work dominating. A light but recurring nod to AI use cases — slicing for analysis, agent integrations — hints at where new demand is coming from.
Expect continued reliability and rendering-fidelity fixes plus more features framed around feeding screenshots into AI pipelines; nothing in the recent cadence suggests a larger directional change.
