jstable vs Resend: at a glance
What is jstable?
A clinical table generator paying down years of edge cases in survey-weighted models
jstable turns regression and survival models into the formatted tables medical papers publish, wrapping coxph, glm, geeglm, lmer and their survey-weighted counterparts. The recent line is almost entirely correction work, concentrated in two places: the .display family and the TableSubgroup family. Version 1.3.25 alone fixed quasibinomial support for survey-weighted logistic regression, automatic factor-to-numeric outcome conversion for svyglm, weighted-versus-original sample counts in the n row, data.table input handling, and Overall column labelling.
What is Resend?
Resend is wiring itself into every agent runtime it can reach, and now adding the controls to stop a send.
Most recent entries are about who or what can call Resend rather than about email delivery itself: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, a remote MCP server tracking the current spec, a Codex plugin, a one-click Claude connector, and support for the Agent Plugins Standard. The email product still gets attention — suppressions, template folders, a compatibility checker in the code editor, and now cancellation of scheduled or queued Broadcasts from the API. Entries are terse one-liners, so the shipping cadence reads faster than the surface area actually changing.

◆ Current state
jstable turns regression and survival models into the formatted tables medical papers publish, wrapping coxph, glm, geeglm, lmer and their survey-weighted counterparts. The recent line is almost entirely correction work, concentrated in two places: the .display family and the TableSubgroup family. Version 1.3.25 alone fixed quasibinomial support for survey-weighted logistic regression, automatic factor-to-numeric outcome conversion for svyglm, weighted-versus-original sample counts in the n row, data.table input handling, and Overall column labelling.
◆ Where it's heading
Each CRAN release bundles several GitHub patch versions, so the notes read as rolled-up fix lists rather than feature announcements. The substantive thread is pcut.univariate, introduced across seven display functions in 1.3.11 to allow multivariable analysis restricted to significant variables, and repaired repeatedly since as it collided with interaction terms, single-variable selections, clustered models and data.table inputs. The survey-weighted path is the other recurring source: counts, labels and family handling that worked for unweighted data kept failing once weights were involved.
◆ Prediction
Expect further patches in the survey-weighted subgroup functions, since 1.3.25 fixed four separate issues there and each recent release has surfaced more in the same area.
Resend
6.3INFRA · APIS
Resend is wiring itself into every agent runtime it can reach, and now adding the controls to stop a send.
◆ Current state
Most recent entries are about who or what can call Resend rather than about email delivery itself: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, a remote MCP server tracking the current spec, a Codex plugin, a one-click Claude connector, and support for the Agent Plugins Standard. The email product still gets attention — suppressions, template folders, a compatibility checker in the code editor, and now cancellation of scheduled or queued Broadcasts from the API. Entries are terse one-liners, so the shipping cadence reads faster than the surface area actually changing.
◆ Where it's heading
Resend is treating agents as the next class of sending client and building the authorization and discovery plumbing they need before that traffic arrives. The progression is legible: authenticate third parties (OAuth), be callable (MCP), be installable per vendor (Codex, Claude), then be installable by standard. The Cancel Broadcast API is the first sign of the next phase — once non-human callers can schedule sends, the ability to revoke one programmatically stops being a convenience.
◆ Prediction
Authorization and discovery are covered and reversibility has now started; the remaining gap is what an agent is permitted to send in the first place, so scoped per-agent sending limits or approval gates before dispatch are the natural next piece.
