What is Grafana Mimir?

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

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.

What is statsmodels?

statsmodels ships only what the ecosystem breaks — six releases, no new statistics.

Every release in this window is a compatibility release. 0.14.2 and 0.14.3 absorbed NumPy 2, 0.14.5 fixed an import failure caused by SciPy 1.16, and 0.14.6 did the same for pandas 3.0. The only additive change across two years is Pyodide support in 0.14.4, described in its own notes as one feature and no fixes. A 0.15.0.dev0 tag exists from 2023 and has not been followed by a 0.15 release.

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.

statsmodels ships only what the ecosystem breaks — six releases, no new statistics.

◆ Current state

Every release in this window is a compatibility release. 0.14.2 and 0.14.3 absorbed NumPy 2, 0.14.5 fixed an import failure caused by SciPy 1.16, and 0.14.6 did the same for pandas 3.0. The only additive change across two years is Pyodide support in 0.14.4, described in its own notes as one feature and no fixes. A 0.15.0.dev0 tag exists from 2023 and has not been followed by a 0.15 release.

◆ Where it's heading

The library is being kept alive rather than developed: each release answers a break introduced upstream, and the interval between them is set by the NumPy, SciPy and pandas release calendars rather than by anything statsmodels is building. Two consecutive releases whose stated purpose was restoring the ability to import the package is the sharpest available signal about maintainer bandwidth. The 0.15 line remains a dev tag with no visible progress toward a release.

◆ Prediction

The next release is most likely another compatibility patch triggered by a NumPy, SciPy or pandas major, and nothing in these entries indicates 0.15 is close.
