A side-by-side editorial comparison of filearray and ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
The on-disk array layer under RAVE spends its releases hunting segfaults.
filearray stores large arrays on disk and reads them back with little memory overhead, serving as the storage substrate for the RAVE intracranial EEG stack. The 0.2.2 release fixes out-of-bound indexing that caused segfaults along certain margins and an ASAN-flagged signed integer overflow in the load path. The user-facing API has been stable since 0.1.6.
RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.
RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

filearray stores large arrays on disk and reads them back with little memory overhead, serving as the storage substrate for the RAVE intracranial EEG stack. The 0.2.2 release fixes out-of-bound indexing that caused segfaults along certain margins and an ASAN-flagged signed integer overflow in the load path. The user-facing API has been stable since 0.1.6.
This is infrastructure whose release history reads as a memory-safety log: unprotected C++ variables, buffer sizes exceeding array length, allocations one byte short, endianness on big-endian platforms, and now out-of-bound margins caught by sanitizers. The one sustained feature direction is reducing the cost of operating on arrays too large for memory — lazy operator evaluation through a proxy class, fmap-style application, and marginal collapse. Portability work has steadily removed hard requirements, dropping the C++11 declaration and swapping OpenMP for TinyThreads to get parallelism on macOS.
Expect continued sanitizer-driven patches rather than new interfaces; the three-year gap before 0.2.2 suggests releases now arrive only when a crash or a CRAN check demands one.

Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.
The direction is coverage expansion: methodically extending what can be backed up and restored across on-prem AD and Entra ID, while broadening cloud storage targets and operational integrations. The dependence on Microsoft's own PowerShell modules is the cost of that coverage, and 6322 shows where it bites — a stale module on the customer's side takes the product down mid-enumeration. Feature builds and pure-fix builds alternate at roughly a two-month cadence, so a single-issue build reads as a gap between feature cycles rather than a slowdown.
Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build; the next build carrying a Features section is due on the cadence this feed has held.
