ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus
RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AgencyAnalytics and mlr3proba — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AgencyAnalytics is turning its assistant into scheduled agency staff work, not a chat box.
The release cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, letting those requests run on a cadence and post results into the client's conversation. Around them sit portfolio-management improvements — client tags, report share history, advanced metric filtering — and a consolidated Data tab feeding the assistant's context.
mlr3proba is shedding weight as its survival work moves into sibling packages
mlr3proba provides probabilistic supervised learning for mlr3 — survival analysis, density estimation, and the measures that go with them. Recent releases are almost entirely upkeep: a distr6 fork to work around an upstream problem, an ooplah fix, a predict-type correction, and registration in mlr_reflections$loaded_packages. The one deletion is telling, with LearnerDensPenalized removed after pendensity left CRAN.

Every recent release either gives AgencyAI more to read or more autonomy in when it runs. The Data tab consolidation, the AI Tracker add-on for AI search visibility, and now scheduling all point the same way: the platform is being positioned to produce the recurring client deliverables an agency would otherwise assign to a junior analyst.
Expect scheduled AgencyAI output to gain delivery paths beyond conversation history — into reports or client-facing sends — given the existing report scheduling and share infrastructure.

The package is being pared back rather than extended. Its README now points at survdistr and mlr3cmprsk as matured alternatives for parts of what it covers, which reads as scope being handed off, while the Cox proportional-hazards autoplot arrived from mlr3viz in the other direction. Several fixes exist to route around dependencies that broke or disappeared, which is the recurring cost of building on a long chain of specialized CRAN packages.
The dependency churn suggests more consolidation — further reliance on survdistr and mlr3cmprsk, and more learners retired when the package underneath them goes unmaintained.
