What is cholera?

John Snow's 1854 cholera map is being rebuilt on real geographic coordinates.

cholera packages the Broad Street cholera outbreak data with tools to recompute pump neighbourhoods by Voronoi and walking distance. The last two releases carried the dataset from Snow's original plate coordinates onto georeferenced longitude and latitude, exposed through a latlong = TRUE argument on most functions. Function naming and plotting APIs are being tidied at the same pace.

What is ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus?

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

John Snow's 1854 cholera map is being rebuilt on real geographic coordinates.

◆ Current state

cholera packages the Broad Street cholera outbreak data with tools to recompute pump neighbourhoods by Voronoi and walking distance. The last two releases carried the dataset from Snow's original plate coordinates onto georeferenced longitude and latitude, exposed through a latlong = TRUE argument on most functions. Function naming and plotting APIs are being tidied at the same pace.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is clear and sustained: convert a historical, self-referential coordinate system into one that interoperates with modern GIS. Each release extends latlong coverage to more datasets — pumps, roads, landmarks, and now the plague pit and map frame — while archiving the older prototypes. Parallelisation and the walking-distance solver were reworked along the way to keep the heavier computations usable.

◆ Prediction

Remaining non-georeferenced pieces and the archived latlong prototypes are the obvious next targets, alongside continued consolidation of the add*()/plot*() function pairs.

M2.5

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

◆ Current state

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is coverage expansion: methodically extending what can be backed up and restored across on-prem AD and Entra ID, while broadening cloud storage targets and operational integrations. The dependence on Microsoft's own PowerShell modules is the cost of that coverage, and 6322 shows where it bites — a stale module on the customer's side takes the product down mid-enumeration. Feature builds and pure-fix builds alternate at roughly a two-month cadence, so a single-issue build reads as a gap between feature cycles rather than a slowdown.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build; the next build carrying a Features section is due on the cadence this feed has held.
