## Software history
The current version of ShakeCast, [V4 released in 2019](https://code.usgs.gov/ghsc/esi/shakecast/shakecast/-/releases), is a complete re-design of the application aimed at alleviating the pain points of its consumer base, while improving functionality. Newer versions of ShakeCast, ShakeMap, “Did You Feel It?”, and PAGER systems have been developed in Python due to its functionality and near-ubiquity in computer science courses and in academia. ShakeCast aims to be more intuitive and include features that both general users and administrators will find helpful. Many of the modifications are based on direct feedback from many ShakeCast users, feature requests, best practices in software development, and culling of vestigial functions. For example, developing and incorporating advanced fragility assignments into the ShakeCast Workbook required extensive software modifications and database improvements (Wald et al., 2017).
