What is eratosthenes?
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().
What is Testomat.io?
Testomat is closing the loop from failing test to tracked defect, one quarterly digest at a time
Testomat ships in large periodic digests rather than continuous drops, and each one pairs a structural addition with a batch of interface work. The August release adds a per-project Defects page listing the bug-tracker issues raised against failing tests, plus defects in analytics, milestone insights, and comment mentions. Underneath it, the past year laid down Requirements, Milestones, a Public API v2, and an MCP server.

◆ Current state
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().
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
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.

Testomat is closing the loop from failing test to tracked defect, one quarterly digest at a time
◆ Current state
Testomat ships in large periodic digests rather than continuous drops, and each one pairs a structural addition with a batch of interface work. The August release adds a per-project Defects page listing the bug-tracker issues raised against failing tests, plus defects in analytics, milestone insights, and comment mentions. Underneath it, the past year laid down Requirements, Milestones, a Public API v2, and an MCP server.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs run in parallel here. One is structural test management — Requirements, Milestones, tree navigation, plans — filling out what a QA team needs to run a release cycle rather than just store cases. The other is machine access: an MCP server, a v2 public API, AI quality review, AI test-data suggestions, and an analytics chat, which together make the test corpus readable by something other than a person clicking through the UI. Defects is where the first arc finally reaches the bug tracker.
◆ Prediction
The next digest most likely deepens the defect loop, linking defect state back to test status or analytics, since that is the newest structural piece and currently a listing rather than a workflow. The API and MCP thread points at more agent-facing surface, though these entries do not indicate what it would cover.
