Updates under development are published at R-Universe as soon as merged or commited into the main branch in the repositories at GitHub. Two packages that depend on a commercial closed-source driver, but usable with a free runtime of the driver, are published only at R-Universe. Preliminary/experimental incomplete versions of a couple of new packages are already partly usable are also only at R-Universe and here in GitHub.

Posts and Pages at R for Photobiology

The site R for Photobiology contains 101 posts and pages published since 2016-09-15! I have recently rebuilt the site using Quarto, and I have transferred only some of the posts originally published using WordPress. I am slowly adding more old posts, but only those that remain relevant. The figure below shows original publication date even when posts have been later updated. The source files are in a public repository at GitHub.

I have published one post or page roughly every 36 days, or about 0.8 posts per month, since 2016-09-15.

I published the most recent post or page 121 days ago, and most recently updated a previously published one 10 days ago.
