Income Tax Calculations (UK)

github.com/mark-eis/fiscal ↗

UK income tax calculations reach CRAN, then go quiet behind pointer-only release notes.

◆Current state
Fiscal computes UK income tax. It reached its 1.0.0 milestone in March 2026 and shipped two patch releases in the fortnight after, then stopped. The GitHub release bodies carry no changelog of their own: each one points at the NEWS file and the CRAN page, so the feed shows cadence but not content.
◆Where it's heading
Three releases in a fifteen-day window reads as post-publication cleanup rather than a development push, which is the normal shape after a first CRAN acceptance. Because every body is the same boilerplate, direction has to be read from the tags alone, and the tags say only that two patches followed the 1.0.0 line.
◆Prediction
The most likely next release is an annual one tracking a new UK tax year's rates and thresholds. The release notes as published give no evidence for anything beyond that.

    Fiscal 1.0.2

    A patch release whose body carries no changelog at all, only links to the NEWS file and the CRAN page. What changed between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 is not readable from the feed.

    Fiscal 1.0.1

    The first patch after the CRAN debut, published with the same pointer boilerplate as its successor. Byte-for-byte the same body apart from the version string, so it carries no independent signal.

    Fiscal reaches CRAN with its first public release

    ⚡ SPARK

    The initial CRAN and GitHub release, and the only entry in the feed that marks a change of state rather than a version bump. It is the point at which UK income tax calculation in this package becomes installable the ordinary way.
