What is bagyo?

bagyo reached CRAN as a Philippine tropical cyclone dataset, with its tags stamped out of order.

A data package distributing Philippine Area of Responsibility tropical cyclone records, developed through 2024 pre-releases and accepted by CRAN in early 2026. The substantive release is v0.2.0: 2021 and 2022 typhoon data added, an unexported helper for downloading cyclone reports, CITATION.cff, an R 4.1 dependency for the base pipe, and a full pass over vignettes, tests and README. The v0.1.1 tag announcing the first CRAN release carries no content and is stamped two hours after v0.2.0.

bagyo reached CRAN as a Philippine tropical cyclone dataset, with its tags stamped out of order.

◆ Current state

A data package distributing Philippine Area of Responsibility tropical cyclone records, developed through 2024 pre-releases and accepted by CRAN in early 2026. The substantive release is v0.2.0: 2021 and 2022 typhoon data added, an unexported helper for downloading cyclone reports, CITATION.cff, an R 4.1 dependency for the base pipe, and a full pass over vignettes, tests and README. The v0.1.1 tag announcing the first CRAN release carries no content and is stamped two hours after v0.2.0.

◆ Where it's heading

The package is establishing itself as a citable, yearly-updated dataset rather than a one-off scrape — the download helper and the '2022 data and general yearly upkeep' commit both point at a recurring refresh, and the CRAN DOI and CITATION file exist so the data can be cited in papers. It sits alongside the same maintainer's other public-health and survey data packages, which received matching repository upkeep in the same month.

◆ Prediction

Expect an annual data release adding the next typhoon season, since that is the only recurring change in the history and the download helper was written to support it.

Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months

◆ Current state

The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.

◆ Where it's heading

Packaging and the engine move on separate clocks: the chart ships weekly regardless of whether anything changed underneath, while Mimir itself cuts a minor roughly monthly. The weekly stream tells you nothing about direction and will keep dominating the feed by volume.

◆ Prediction

The chart line moving from 6.2.0-weekly to 6.3.0-weekly points at a 6.3.0 chart release carrying Mimir 3.2 once the candidate goes final.
