inbospatial vs rjd3highfreq: at a glance
What is inbospatial?
A thin R wrapper over Flemish geospatial services, adding one standard at a time
inbospatial gives R users direct access to Flemish and Belgian government spatial services without hand-writing request URLs. Three releases over three years have built it up service by service: WMS and WMTS tile shorthands and projection-distortion utilities first, then the Flanders digital elevation model, and now OGC API Features querying plus layer discovery for WCS services. Much of each release is hardening the MHT-file parsing that these services return.
What is rjd3highfreq?
rjd3highfreq ships whatever the Java side ships, and only occasionally says what that was.
An R wrapper around JDemetra+ routines for seasonal adjustment of high-frequency time series, built on fractional airline decomposition. Only three releases are on record, roughly one every six months, and two of them describe nothing beyond updated .jar files. The package is a thin binding whose substance lives in the Java libraries it packages, and the release notes reflect that literally.

◆ Current state
inbospatial gives R users direct access to Flemish and Belgian government spatial services without hand-writing request URLs. Three releases over three years have built it up service by service: WMS and WMTS tile shorthands and projection-distortion utilities first, then the Flanders digital elevation model, and now OGC API Features querying plus layer discovery for WCS services. Much of each release is hardening the MHT-file parsing that these services return.
◆ Where it's heading
The package grows by absorbing one more service standard per release rather than by adding abstraction. The 0.1.0 additions point the same way — get_feature_ogc() covers a newer OGC standard alongside the existing WCS and WFS paths, and get_wcs_layers() addresses the practical problem that you cannot query a coverage without first knowing what layers exist. Release cadence is slow and driven by which service the maintainers needed next.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to add another regional service endpoint or extend OGC API Features coverage, on a timescale of a year or more given the gaps between the three releases so far.
rjd3highfreq
0.0ANALYTICS
rjd3highfreq ships whatever the Java side ships, and only occasionally says what that was.
◆ Current state
An R wrapper around JDemetra+ routines for seasonal adjustment of high-frequency time series, built on fractional airline decomposition. Only three releases are on record, roughly one every six months, and two of them describe nothing beyond updated .jar files. The package is a thin binding whose substance lives in the Java libraries it packages, and the release notes reflect that literally.
◆ Where it's heading
The one release with detail points at where the work actually is: 2.4.1 exposes eps and deps parameters on fractionalAirlineDecomposition(), controlling the optimisation routine's convergence precision and the step size for its numerical derivatives. That is tuning access for users whose series were not converging well under the defaults, and it is the only user-facing surface change visible here. The earlier entry even appears under a different package name, rjd3xhighfreq, which suggests some instability in how this line is published.
◆ Prediction
Expect further releases tracking JDemetra+ .jar versions, with R-level parameters exposed only as specific estimation problems surface; the entries do not support a firmer read than that.
