Placemark & OSS Changelog

What's new with Placemark and open source recently:

Placemark

  • The features table in Placemark now lets you sort by different columns in ascending or descending order.
  • The features table had resizable columns, which broke. I fixed that, and you can resize columns again.
  • I've created a documentation website for Placemark, recreating some of what existed with Webflow but with Astro Starlight.

tokml

  • I've adopted changesets for release automation, like I've been doing on all my projects. The combination of changesets with a release action that publishes to NPM using OIDC is really nice, and makes maintenance and updates easier.
  • I dropped the UMD build, making the NPM package roughly 30% smaller.

simple-statistics

  • Quantile computations now match what R does. Thanks zhengshui for the fix.
  • Also, adopted changesets, like the rest of the projects.

I've been trying to 'fix what I find' in projects - small fixes in stuff like fastify-sensible and 11ty-vento. Contributing to existing projects in small ways feels good, I think it would be nice if the average longevity of projects were higher, and small contributions are what keep me interested in my older projects, too.
