FINANCE
Velocity0.0

Bring financial analysis, quantitative modeling and market data into the tidyverse

github.com/business-science/tidyquant ↗

tidyquant is in pure upkeep — CRAN compliance and upstream renames, nothing new.

r-financemaintenancecran-complianceupstream-driftstable
◆Current state
The visible release history is maintenance only. 1.0.10 fixes a single `tq_performance()` error; 1.0.6 chases a PerformanceAnalytics 2.0.6 test failure, an r-devel check flagged by CRAN, and a deprecated tidyr function; 1.0.5 handles Facebook's rename to META and a Yahoo Finance symbol-format quirk. No new functions, no new data sources.
◆Where it's heading
Every change in the window is reactive — something upstream moved and tidyquant followed. The releases are also slowing: three of them span from September 2022 to January 2025. The package is stable and still maintained against CRAN's checks, but it is no longer growing its surface.
◆Prediction
The next release is most likely another CRAN-check or upstream-dependency fix rather than new functionality; that is the only pattern these entries show.

    tidyquant 1.0.6 restores CRAN and r-devel checks

    Repairs test failures from PerformanceAnalytics 2.0.6 and r-devel, drops the deprecated `spread_()`, and moves readxl to imports. Housekeeping to stay green on CRAN.

    tidyquant 1.0.5 tracks META rename and Yahoo symbol format

    Tracks Facebook's rename to META and converts symbols like BRK.B to the BRK-B form Yahoo Finance expects. Data-source drift, handled — the same reactive pattern as the later releases.
