What is onemap?

A genetic-mapping mainstay that now points new users toward MAPpoly at load time

OneMap constructs genetic linkage maps for experimental crosses, and its 3.x line turned it into a hub in a wider mapping toolchain: export functions for VIEWpoly and QTLpoly, summary and interactive ordering functions adapted from MAPpoly, and retention of reference and alternative allele information from imported VCFs. The most recent release, 3.2.0 in January 2025, adds an announcement about MAPpoly to the README and the package load message, fixes a subscript-out-of-bounds warning in rf_2pts and refreshes vignettes and tests.

What is Verdaccio?

Verdaccio's v7 prereleases are consolidating forked code back onto shared packages.

The next-7 prerelease line moves in small, single-change increments. The substantive one adopts @verdaccio/server and drops the locally forked api, web, and storage code, keeping a thin Storage wrapper so legacy callback-based storage plugins continue to work. The two tags after it are toolchain and dependency work: replacing eslint and prettier with oxlint and oxfmt, and moving the verdaccio dependency set onto the next-9 dist-tag.

A genetic-mapping mainstay that now points new users toward MAPpoly at load time

◆ Current state

OneMap constructs genetic linkage maps for experimental crosses, and its 3.x line turned it into a hub in a wider mapping toolchain: export functions for VIEWpoly and QTLpoly, summary and interactive ordering functions adapted from MAPpoly, and retention of reference and alternative allele information from imported VCFs. The most recent release, 3.2.0 in January 2025, adds an announcement about MAPpoly to the README and the package load message, fixes a subscript-out-of-bounds warning in rf_2pts and refreshes vignettes and tests.

◆ Where it's heading

Versions 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 were driven by a benchmarking preprint on genotyping-by-sequencing best practice, and their content follows directly: marker filtering from two-point estimates, memory reduction after filtering, and optimisation of find_bins and map_avoid_unlinked. What has happened since is signposting rather than capability — a package that spent two releases integrating with MAPpoly now tells users about it every time it loads. The pre-3.0 tags are backfilled, with versions 2.3 through 2.7 sharing a single August 2021 timestamp, so their order carries no information.

◆ Prediction

The load-message announcement suggests attention is flowing toward the MAPpoly side of the toolchain; expect maintenance and compatibility releases here rather than new mapping algorithms.

2.5

Verdaccio's v7 prereleases are consolidating forked code back onto shared packages.

◆ Current state

The next-7 prerelease line moves in small, single-change increments. The substantive one adopts @verdaccio/server and drops the locally forked api, web, and storage code, keeping a thin Storage wrapper so legacy callback-based storage plugins continue to work. The two tags after it are toolchain and dependency work: replacing eslint and prettier with oxlint and oxfmt, and moving the verdaccio dependency set onto the next-9 dist-tag.

◆ Where it's heading

The v7 effort is about reducing what the main package maintains itself, folding forked implementations back into shared packages while preserving a compatibility shim for the plugin ecosystem. That plugin compatibility constraint appears deliberate and is likely to shape how far the consolidation can go. The surrounding tags suggest the project is also modernizing its build tooling while the architecture settles.

◆ Prediction

The api, web, and storage forks are gone but a legacy storage wrapper remains; removing that shim, which would break callback-based storage plugins, is the decision this line is heading toward.
