bagyo reached CRAN as a Philippine tropical cyclone dataset, with its tags stamped out of order.

◆Current state
A data package distributing Philippine Area of Responsibility tropical cyclone records, developed through 2024 pre-releases and accepted by CRAN in early 2026. The substantive release is v0.2.0: 2021 and 2022 typhoon data added, an unexported helper for downloading cyclone reports, CITATION.cff, an R 4.1 dependency for the base pipe, and a full pass over vignettes, tests and README. The v0.1.1 tag announcing the first CRAN release carries no content and is stamped two hours after v0.2.0.
◆Where it's heading
The package is establishing itself as a citable, yearly-updated dataset rather than a one-off scrape — the download helper and the '2022 data and general yearly upkeep' commit both point at a recurring refresh, and the CRAN DOI and CITATION file exist so the data can be cited in papers. It sits alongside the same maintainer's other public-health and survey data packages, which received matching repository upkeep in the same month.
◆Prediction
Expect an annual data release adding the next typhoon season, since that is the only recurring change in the history and the download helper was written to support it.

    2021 and 2022 typhoon data added

    Adds 2021 and 2022 typhoon data — the substance of any dataset release — along with a helper for downloading cyclone reports, CITATION.cff, a CRAN DOI badge and an R 4.1 requirement. Reads as the second CRAN release despite carrying an earlier timestamp than v0.1.1.
