  • duplication functionality
  • R indicator light/status bar colors 
    • gives users feedback when analysis is processing or has completed
    • functional but needs aesthetic improvements
  • Different color links between widgets
    • Green links have transmitted data and red links have no data
  • better help documentation structure in help files and widget file headers
    • still need to update all packages to comply with new structure 
  • Better memory management in data tables
    • Now Red-R will not duplicate all data in python when showing data tables. 
  • New package and template repository system 
    • the new website will facilitate upload of packages and templates and create new web pages on the fly.
    • Still needs testing and improvements to version management system
