posteriordb-r: R package from stan-dev

posteriordb's R client ships a test-file fix and nothing else.

bayesian inferencestanbenchmark datar packagecompatibility
Current state
posteriordb-r is the R interface to the posteriordb collection of reference Bayesian posteriors, used for benchmarking inference algorithms. The single release in view fixes Stan syntax in test files. Neither the posterior collection nor the client API changes.
Where it's heading
One patch-level entry gives little to read. What it does say is that upkeep here tracks Stan's evolving syntax rather than the database's contents — the client's job is to stay compatible with the language the reference models are written in. Whether the collection itself is growing is not visible from this feed.
Prediction
Expect further compatibility patches as Stan syntax deprecations land; the entries give no signal on new posteriors or API changes.
