pharmaverseadam vs silx

pharmaverseadam vs silx: at a glance
What is pharmaverseadam?
pharmaverseadam is the pharmaverse's test-data mirror, and it now covers neurology.
pharmaverseadam ships pre-built ADaM datasets generated by running the admiral family's own templates, so package authors and trainers have realistic analysis data without writing derivations first. The 1.3.0 release pulls in `ADAPET`, `ADTPET` and `ADNV` from admiralneuro and an anti-drug antibody dataset from admiral itself, and regenerates everything against current versions of seven upstream packages. Variables are now ordered and grouped to ADaM IG structure.
What is silx?
silx settles into maintenance a release after its PySide6 migration
silx is in the quiet phase after a generational release. 3.1.1 is a single fix to FitWidget loading a fit function from file. The release before it, 3.1.0, was the first real feature work since the migration - asinh axis scaling, twilight colormaps, and dark-theme icons - and 3.0.1 was similarly small. The 3.0.0 cut that reset the Qt binding and Python floor still defines what the line is doing.

pharmaverseadam is the pharmaverse's test-data mirror, and it now covers neurology.
◆ Current state
pharmaverseadam ships pre-built ADaM datasets generated by running the admiral family's own templates, so package authors and trainers have realistic analysis data without writing derivations first. The 1.3.0 release pulls in `ADAPET`, `ADTPET` and `ADNV` from admiralneuro and an anti-drug antibody dataset from admiral itself, and regenerates everything against current versions of seven upstream packages. Variables are now ordered and grouped to ADaM IG structure.
◆ Where it's heading
Coverage tracks the pharmaverse's own therapeutic-area expansion with a lag of one release: pediatrics arrived in 1.1.0, metabolic in 1.2.0, neurology in 1.3.0. The other consistent thread is a slow move off development versions — 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 both had to pin unreleased upstream builds to get working templates, while 1.3.0 cites released versions throughout. Reorganising the reference page by therapeutic area is the same maturation showing up in documentation.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to follow the established pattern — a refresh against current upstream versions plus datasets from whichever admiral therapeutic-area package reaches a stable release next.

silx settles into maintenance a release after its PySide6 migration
◆ Current state
silx is in the quiet phase after a generational release. 3.1.1 is a single fix to FitWidget loading a fit function from file. The release before it, 3.1.0, was the first real feature work since the migration - asinh axis scaling, twilight colormaps, and dark-theme icons - and 3.0.1 was similarly small. The 3.0.0 cut that reset the Qt binding and Python floor still defines what the line is doing.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence has slowed markedly since April, and the content has shifted from structural change to plotting and colormap refinement. That is the expected shape after a binding migration: downstream beamline code needs a stable target, so the project trades feature velocity for a quiet surface. The gap between 3.0.1 in May and 3.1.0 in August is the clearest signal of the deliberate slowdown.
◆ Prediction
Expect further point releases servicing the plotting and fitting widgets rather than another structural change, with feature work continuing to arrive in the 3.1.x minors rather than patches.
