ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus
RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of OpenObserve and StatsBase.jl — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
After its largest release, OpenObserve is patching the seams.
v0.92.0 landed on 7 August with 836 commits and three new product surfaces - synthetic monitoring, Workflows v1, and an expanded AI observability set - after a long RC series. The two releases since are small: v0.92.1 fixed alert HAVING clause typing and put the MCP server setup page on the OSS build, and v0.92.2 adds a compactor delay setting and backports an MCP 404 fix for deployments running under a base URI. The 0.91 line is still receiving its own backports.
StatsBase.jl is in caretaker mode — correctness fixes in, dependency bumps out.
StatsBase.jl is deep in the 0.34 patch series, releasing every few months with changes that are either small correctness fixes or bot-authored dependency bumps. The most substantive recent release, 0.34.10, fixed weighted sampling with UnitWeights, sped up unweighted ecdf, and widened quantile to accept non-Real element types. Since then the tags have thinned to CI action bumps and a diff-only note.

OpenObserve is trying to become the whole monitoring stack rather than the storage layer under one. Synthetic checks, incident workflows, and SLO measurement each replace a separate tool, and incident ingestion from external alert sources hedges the migration path for teams that cannot switch all at once. The MCP work running alongside - open sourced, then given a setup page in the OSS build, then fixed for base-URI deployments - shows the same data being aimed at agent clients rather than dashboards.
The post-GA patches are still landing on the new surfaces, so expect another 0.92.x before feature work resumes - most likely hardening synthetic monitoring and Workflows, which are the two least-exercised additions.

This is the shape of a foundational Julia package that has reached its intended scope: the API is settled, and maintenance means keeping compat bounds current and closing long-tail correctness issues raised by users. Nothing in the feed suggests new statistical capability is being staged. The most likely reason is that new work now lands in the downstream packages that build on StatsBase rather than in StatsBase itself.
Expect more 0.34.x patches on the same rhythm — CompatHelper bumps and occasional user-reported edge-case fixes — with no signal in these entries that a 0.35 or 1.0 is being prepared.
