+Dinamica EGO 4 is an evolution of version 3 but features many improvements when compared to it including, but not limited to:
-  * Hundreds of bug fixes! Dinamica version 4 simply works better than version 3 that was a really great version of Dinamica.
+  * Hundreds of bug fixes! Dinamica version 4 simply works better than version 3. In fact, version 4 is the better version of Dinamica to date.
-  * It can installed alongside version 3. This allows you to keep both versions independently on the same computer making the migration processo from version 3 to 4 easier and less stressful.
+  * It can be installed alongside version 3. This allows you to keep both versions independently on the same computer making the migration processo from version 3 to 4 easier and less stressful.
-  * The input maps used by a model now can have different resolutions, number of lines/columns, registration coordinates etc. The only constraint is that all maps used by a model must share the same projection.
+  * [[reference_book:image_virtualization|The input maps used by a model now can have different resolutions, number of lines/columns, registration coordinates etc]]. Dinamica is now truly multi-resolution! The only constraint when creating a model is that all maps used by it must share the same projection.
-  * The [[wikipedia>R_(programming_language)|R language]] can be used to implement parts of a model. Basically, the user can use a custom R script to manipulate data the same way any Dinamica functor would do. See the documentation about [[Calculate R Expression]] and about [[external_communication|model coupling]] for some addition information on how to use R in a Dinamica model.
+  * The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)|R language]] now can be used to implement parts of a model. Basically, [[reference_book:r_coupling|the user can use a custom R script to manipulate data the same way any Dinamica functor would do]].
+  * Dinamica now features a dynamic progress bar showing the overall progress of the model execution. Since the models can be arbitrarily complex, the bar adapts automatically to each situation and tries not to underestimate the time remaining to complete the execution.
+  * When enough information is provided (functor alias, functor comments etc) Dinamica EGO represents the expressions used by [[Calculate Map]], [[Calculate Value]] etc with a name and type icon, instead of using just i1, v1 etc. This particular change makes easier for the user the understand the expression meaning without changing how they are represented internally.

 It is also possible to download and install the [[plugins_4|Enhancement Plugin for Dinamica EGO]]. This plugin can be used to speed up the execution of some Dinamica EGO operators under certain circumstances and it also allows R scripts to be used as part of Dinamica EGO models.
