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 themis?

themis is back to adding real resampling algorithms after a documentation-heavy stretch.

themis supplies recipes steps for handling class imbalance in tidymodels. The 1.0.x line was consumed by documentation accuracy, message translation and internal consistency work. Version 1.1.0 returns to substance with two new under-sampling methods.

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.

themis is back to adding real resampling algorithms after a documentation-heavy stretch.

◆ Current state

themis supplies recipes steps for handling class imbalance in tidymodels. The 1.0.x line was consumed by documentation accuracy, message translation and internal consistency work. Version 1.1.0 returns to substance with two new under-sampling methods.

◆ Where it's heading

The package grows by adding algorithms rather than restructuring itself. tomek() was rewritten to handle multiple classes and drop the unbalanced dependency, case weights arrived at 1.0.0, and cluster-centroid and condensed-nearest-neighbour under-sampling arrive now — each shipped as both a recipes step and a direct-implementation function.

◆ Prediction

Expect further under- and over-sampling methods in the same paired form, as the package fills out coverage of the standard class-imbalance literature.
