What is flightsbr?

Brazil's flight-data package keeps working around what ANAC publishes and when.

flightsbr downloads Brazilian civil aviation data — flights, airport movements, aircraft registrations, air fares — straight from ANAC into R. Its read_ functions now default to the latest available date rather than requiring one, and read_aircrafts() has been renamed to read_aircraft(). The published feed jumps from 0.1.2 to 0.3.0 to 1.1.0, so intermediate releases are not visible here.

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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

ANALYTICS
0.0

Brazil's flight-data package keeps working around what ANAC publishes and when.

◆ Current state

flightsbr downloads Brazilian civil aviation data — flights, airport movements, aircraft registrations, air fares — straight from ANAC into R. Its read_ functions now default to the latest available date rather than requiring one, and read_aircrafts() has been renamed to read_aircraft(). The published feed jumps from 0.1.2 to 0.3.0 to 1.1.0, so intermediate releases are not visible here.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a package defined by its upstream. Its releases are mostly reactions to how ANAC serves data: a download path that broke on 2022 data, URLs with inconsistent .CSV casing that hid available dates, a broken data dictionary link, and an air fares reader that had to be pulled entirely when the source became unworkable. The 2025 release is the first that reads like product design rather than repair — defaulting to the latest data and fixing a typo in a function name at the cost of a deprecation. Availability of the source, not developer intent, sets the release cadence.

◆ Prediction

The most likely next move is another adjustment to a changed ANAC endpoint or the return of the suspended air fares reader, since upstream availability has driven every release visible here.

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.
