cIRT
A choice-based IRT model published once in 2019 and kept compiling ever since
A side-by-side editorial comparison of manymome and r2dii.analysis — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Steady quarterly releases behind a feed that shows almost none of what changed.
manymome computes indirect and moderated effects for path-analysis and SEM models using bootstrap and Monte Carlo intervals. The four most recent CRAN releases (0.3.2 through 0.3.6) publish as bare pointers to the package's own NEWS page, so the feed carries no changelog text for any of them. Where content is visible, at 0.3.1 and 0.2.9, the work is fitting-engine breadth and speed rather than new methodology.
The climate-alignment maths behind PACTA, now stable and maintained rather than reshaped
r2dii.analysis computes the target-setting side of PACTA: market-share and sectoral decarbonisation targets that measure a loan book or portfolio against climate scenarios. It sits downstream of the matched company data the sibling packages produce. The 0.5.0 release declared it lifecycle-stable and handed maintenance to a new lead, and releases since have been narrow corrections rather than new methods.

The legible arc runs toward turning the q_* quick-mediation wrappers into a complete workflow: lavaan::sem fitting with full information maximum likelihood for missing data, a plot method, and user-specified mediation models, alongside repeated optimization of do_boot() and do_mc(). Cadence is roughly quarterly and has held for two years. What the last four versions actually contain cannot be read from this feed.
Expect continued quarterly CRAN releases extending the q_* family; beyond that the entries shown do not support a confident call on direction.

The history is a package converging. Early releases churn the output contract of target_market_share() and target_sda() — which sectors appear, which years, how missing production is treated — and each change alters the numbers users get. The ald-to-abcd rename runs across several releases before completing, and by 0.5.0 the churn has stopped, with three older summarise functions soft-deprecated and the package marked stable. What remains is edge-case correctness in target coverage.
With the package marked stable and the terminology migration finished, the soft-deprecated summarise functions are the obvious next thing to remove outright.

Latest ship moves from both products, interleaved chronologically. ⚡ = editorial spark.
Both compete on the same themes — r-package — within Analytics. manymome and r2dii.analysis are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band). See the at-a-glance table above for a side-by-side breakdown of velocity, recent sparks, and editorial themes.
Sparkpulse doesn't pick a winner — we score release velocity, not feature parity. manymome and r2dii.analysis are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band).
