What is rjd3highfreq?

rjd3highfreq ships whatever the Java side ships, and only occasionally says what that was.

An R wrapper around JDemetra+ routines for seasonal adjustment of high-frequency time series, built on fractional airline decomposition. Only three releases are on record, roughly one every six months, and two of them describe nothing beyond updated .jar files. The package is a thin binding whose substance lives in the Java libraries it packages, and the release notes reflect that literally.

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.

rjd3highfreq ships whatever the Java side ships, and only occasionally says what that was.

◆ Current state

An R wrapper around JDemetra+ routines for seasonal adjustment of high-frequency time series, built on fractional airline decomposition. Only three releases are on record, roughly one every six months, and two of them describe nothing beyond updated .jar files. The package is a thin binding whose substance lives in the Java libraries it packages, and the release notes reflect that literally.

◆ Where it's heading

The one release with detail points at where the work actually is: 2.4.1 exposes eps and deps parameters on fractionalAirlineDecomposition(), controlling the optimisation routine's convergence precision and the step size for its numerical derivatives. That is tuning access for users whose series were not converging well under the defaults, and it is the only user-facing surface change visible here. The earlier entry even appears under a different package name, rjd3xhighfreq, which suggests some instability in how this line is published.

◆ Prediction

Expect further releases tracking JDemetra+ .jar versions, with R-level parameters exposed only as specific estimation problems surface; the entries do not support a firmer read than that.

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.
