Predicting Disease Spread from Flow Data

github.com/reconhub/epiflows ↗

epiflows has shipped four releases in eight years, none of which changed the code.

repidemiologydormantmaintenancecran
◆Current state
epiflows predicts the spread of infectious disease along population flows between locations, and it is effectively dormant. The whole visible history spans 2018 to 2026 in four entries: the first CRAN release, a Zenodo archival tag, a Roxygen patch whose notes state the functionality is unchanged, and a 2026 release replacing deprecated ggplot2 and tibble calls. No entry describes new epidemiological capability.
◆Where it's heading
The package is being kept installable rather than developed. The one recent release is dependency maintenance contributed from outside, which is the pattern for RECON-era epidemiology packages that have outlived their original project funding. Two separate entries are both labelled version 0.2.1, so even the version history is not a reliable guide to what changed.
◆Prediction
Any further releases will most likely be more deprecation cleanup to keep the package on CRAN; there is nothing in the record suggesting active development has resumed.

    Roxygen patch for CRAN checks

    A Roxygen block patch for add_coordinates() to pass CRAN checks, with the notes stating the functionality is otherwise unchanged. Reuses the 0.2.1 version label already taken by a 2018 entry.

    First Zenodo archival tag

    A GitHub-only tag marking the first Zenodo archive, changing only element IDs in the website's HTML widgets. Explicitly does not affect the package code.

    First CRAN release
