 # REDCapCAST 24.11.4
 
-The hosting on shinyapps.io has given a lot of trouble recently. Modyfied package structure a little around the `shiny_cast()`, to accommodate an alternative hosting approach with all package functions included in a script instead of requiring the package.
+This release attempts to solve problems hosting the shiny_cast app, while also implementing functions to preserve as much meta data as possible from the REDCap database when exporting data.

 * NEW: A new option to `raw_or_label` in `read_readcap_tables()` has been added: "both". Get raw values with REDCap labels applied as labels. Use `as_factor()` to format factors with original labels and use the `gtsummary` package to easily get beautiful tables with original labels from REDCap. Use `fct_drop()` to drop empty levels.
