What is Moov?

Moov keeps absorbing the payments plumbing its customers would otherwise build themselves.

Moov is shipping on a steady quarterly API cadence with monthly increments in between, and the recent run has been about rail coverage and merchant-facing control. FedNow support arrived through the instant-bank-credit method with automatic network selection between FedNow and RTP, Google Pay landed earlier for both acceptance and payouts, and surcharging went from launch to test-mode card coverage. The embedding surface has been widening too — resumable onboarding Drops, custom Dashboard roles, fee plan disclosure, user-defined amounts on payment links.

What is tidyquant?

tidyquant is in pure upkeep — CRAN compliance and upstream renames, nothing new.

The visible release history is maintenance only. 1.0.10 fixes a single `tq_performance()` error; 1.0.6 chases a PerformanceAnalytics 2.0.6 test failure, an r-devel check flagged by CRAN, and a deprecated tidyr function; 1.0.5 handles Facebook's rename to META and a Yahoo Finance symbol-format quirk. No new functions, no new data sources.

6.3

Moov keeps absorbing the payments plumbing its customers would otherwise build themselves.

◆ Current state

Moov is shipping on a steady quarterly API cadence with monthly increments in between, and the recent run has been about rail coverage and merchant-facing control. FedNow support arrived through the instant-bank-credit method with automatic network selection between FedNow and RTP, Google Pay landed earlier for both acceptance and payouts, and surcharging went from launch to test-mode card coverage. The embedding surface has been widening too — resumable onboarding Drops, custom Dashboard roles, fee plan disclosure, user-defined amounts on payment links.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is consistent: take a decision a platform customer would otherwise have to make and make it Moov's problem. Network selection, surcharge regulatory caps, tipping presets, account connection scoping all follow that shape. Versioning discipline is a visible part of the story, with in-development versions previewed and deprecations announced ahead of the stable cut, which matters for a product whose customers embed it rather than integrate once.

◆ Prediction

Expect the v2026.10.00 cycle to firm up around the in-development changes now surfacing in previews, with the same pattern of a preview period before the stable release rather than a single large cut.

0.0

tidyquant is in pure upkeep — CRAN compliance and upstream renames, nothing new.

◆ Current state

The visible release history is maintenance only. 1.0.10 fixes a single `tq_performance()` error; 1.0.6 chases a PerformanceAnalytics 2.0.6 test failure, an r-devel check flagged by CRAN, and a deprecated tidyr function; 1.0.5 handles Facebook's rename to META and a Yahoo Finance symbol-format quirk. No new functions, no new data sources.

◆ Where it's heading

Every change in the window is reactive — something upstream moved and tidyquant followed. The releases are also slowing: three of them span from September 2022 to January 2025. The package is stable and still maintained against CRAN's checks, but it is no longer growing its surface.

◆ Prediction

The next release is most likely another CRAN-check or upstream-dependency fix rather than new functionality; that is the only pattern these entries show.
