Grafana Mimir vs pedprobr: at a glance
What is Grafana Mimir?
Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months
The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.
What is pedprobr?
pedprobr is the likelihood engine, and it keeps finding ways to compute what it previously could not.
pedprobr computes pedigree likelihoods for the ped suite. Version 1.1.0 updated its loop handling to match pedtools 2.11.0, including founder and repeated loop breakers, and improved the peeling algorithm with single-child shortcuts and lower memory use. Version 1.0.0 was the other expansion: special lumping lets markers with mutation models that are un-lumpable in the Kemeny-Snell sense be lumped anyway in certain cases, with alleleLimit as a fallback for the rest.

Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months
◆ Current state
The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.
◆ Where it's heading
Packaging and the engine move on separate clocks: the chart ships weekly regardless of whether anything changed underneath, while Mimir itself cuts a minor roughly monthly. The weekly stream tells you nothing about direction and will keep dominating the feed by volume.
◆ Prediction
The chart line moving from 6.2.0-weekly to 6.3.0-weekly points at a 6.3.0 chart release carrying Mimir 3.2 once the candidate goes final.

0.0ANALYTICS
pedprobr is the likelihood engine, and it keeps finding ways to compute what it previously could not.
◆ Current state
pedprobr computes pedigree likelihoods for the ped suite. Version 1.1.0 updated its loop handling to match pedtools 2.11.0, including founder and repeated loop breakers, and improved the peeling algorithm with single-child shortcuts and lower memory use. Version 1.0.0 was the other expansion: special lumping lets markers with mutation models that are un-lumpable in the Kemeny-Snell sense be lumped anyway in certain cases, with alleleLimit as a fallback for the rest.
◆ Where it's heading
Every significant release here removes a class of computation that used to be infeasible, either by making a marker lumpable or by making a loop breakable. The rest is steady peeling-algorithm optimization, which has been reducing memory footprint release after release since 0.9.2. The newly added .diagnostics option suggests the peeling internals are now complex enough that the maintainer needs to inspect them.
◆ Prediction
Since special lumping is documented as covering only some cases so far, expect further lumping situations to be implemented as pedmut adds them.
