The nflverse data loader, whose releases are dictated by the NFL calendar and CRAN's archive policy
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ojoregex and relialearnr — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Oklahoma's court-data nonprofit maintains the regex layer that turns charge text into categories.
ojoregex is Open Justice Oklahoma's pattern library for classifying criminal charge descriptions from court records — the unglamorous translation layer between free-text charge fields and analysable categories. Its entire release history reached this feed as four tags published within three minutes, so the feed order reflects a backfill rather than a shipping cadence. Release notes are merge references rather than descriptions, which limits how much can be read from the changelog alone.
The teaching arm of an R reliability suite keeps pace with whatever its analysis siblings ship.
ReliaLearnR is a set of interactive learnr tutorials for reliability engineering, covering life data analysis, reliability testing, RAM concepts, reliability block diagrams, and repairable systems, each with code exercises and quiz questions. It was WeibullR.learnr until the start of 2026, when the rename and a set of shorter function names arrived together. A companion book now supplements the interactive material.

What the notes do show is a package alternating between domain corrections and R tooling upkeep: a fix to property-crime matching in one release, dplyr select semantics in the next. That is the expected shape for a regex catalogue — accuracy work arrives as individual charge types get miscategorised in real analyses, and the rest is keeping the package installable against a moving tidyverse. Contributions come from a small internal team, and the vignette work referenced in the earliest tag suggests the pattern list doubles as documentation for analysts.
The visible pattern is incremental match fixes as charge types surface in use; the release notes carry too little detail to predict anything beyond that without reading the underlying pull requests.

The tutorials track the maintainer's analysis packages rather than leading them: repairable systems and mean cumulative function teaching material appeared once the modelling functions for them existed elsewhere in the suite, and the reliability testing tutorial followed the same pattern earlier. Recent work has been about depth rather than coverage — interactive parameter sliders, goodness-of-fit sections, model comparison exercises, more quiz questions per topic. The rename to ReliaLearnR was part of the same suite-wide repositioning away from Weibull-specific branding that the plotting package made.
On the established pattern, the next tutorials will follow whatever the analysis packages shipped most recently; the entries do not indicate whether the newer tool-server interfaces will get teaching material of their own.
