Convert statistical model objects into tidy data frames for analysis

github.com/tidymodels/broom ↗

broom's release calendar is now set by CRAN checks, not by new tidiers.

rtidy-modelsstatisticscran-compliancemaintenance
◆Current state
broom converts model objects from across R's statistical ecosystem into tidy data frames. Four of its last six releases exist purely to resolve R CMD check warnings and errors on r-devel or to absorb upstream package changes. Maintainership passed to Emil Hvitfeldt at 1.0.11.
◆Where it's heading
Carrying hundreds of tidier methods for model classes it does not own, broom's workload is dominated by other projects' breaking changes and CRAN's evolving checks. New tidier coverage has largely migrated to the packages that define the models, leaving broom as a compatibility surface.
◆Prediction
Expect the cadence to stay reactive, with releases triggered by r-devel check failures and upstream API shifts rather than expanded model coverage.

    broom 1.0.11 transfers maintainership to Emil Hvitfeldt

    Maintainership transfers to Emil Hvitfeldt. No code change for users, but for a package this many others depend on, who holds the keys sets the pace and priorities of everything above.

    broom 1.0.10 clears an r-devel namespacing warning

    broom 1.0.9 requires R 4.1 and repairs epiR compatibility

    Raises the minimum R version to 4.1 and repairs errors introduced by an epiR update. Both are consequences of depending on a wide ecosystem rather than deliberate direction.

    broom 1.0.8 fixes cluster-robust intervals, drops orcutt tidiers

    The last release with real tidier work: confidence intervals now return properly for constant-only models with cluster-robust standard errors, and lme4 ANOVA output gains a new column name. Tidiers for the CRAN-archived orcutt package are dropped, showing how upstream attrition prunes broom's surface.
