The following is a list of user-facing changes to URY's Computing systems over the 2013 Summer break:
Website
- A refreshed website (with lots of changed under the hood)
- The return of a comments section in the URY Player
- A completely re-vamped Get Involved page with team descriptions and officer photos
- The return of news and speech pages (syndicating their respective blogspot blogs)
- Tracklists available for Shows
Members' Web Services

- New Banner management system replaces Django SiteAdmin. It is now trivial to manage banners and scheduling on the website.
- New Podcast management system replaces Django SiteAdmin. It is now trivial for any member to upload a Podcast. Original Podcast data is now stored and archived for prosperity.
- New Officer page with photos and more prominent vacant positions.
- Members' can now add 'bio' sections to their Profiles. These will soon also appear on the main Website.
- New walkthrough system for applying for Shows and Seasons makes the process more understandable and guides you as you go.

- Finished replacement of the NIPSWeb service with MyURY Show Planner.
- Fixed issues with Daylight Savings causing the Scheduler and Demo systems to get confused.
