This is a compatibility release for DHIS2 2.39 and 40, that also includes one minor fix:

maps that previously used fixed periods have been updated to use relative periods

The 2.1.0 of the malaria package is an expansion of the version 2.0.0 comprising primarily:

A new "District dashboard" created to improve the monitoring and performance of the malaria programs at district level.
Some new visualizations in the "Data quality" dashboard
Scatterplots to monitor the consistency between logically related variables (e.g. Consistency between RDT tested and RDT positive, and Consistency between Microscopy tested and Microscopy positive).
Year over year trends to monitor the Proportion of inpatient malaria cases and the Test positivity rate.

The 2.0.0 version of the malaria package is an improved and more comprehensive adaptation of the 1.2.1 version.

The Burden Reduction dataset was expanded to collect and analyze more information about testing and treatment activities (particularly with a focus on differentiating P. vivax and P. falciparum infections and treatments)
New data elements to report data on pregnant women (vs old sex/age category combination)
The dashboards were divided in nine enumerated dashboards focusing on specific activities of malaria programs.
Both the old and the new dashboards have a number of improved and new visualizations, and guidelines on suggestions for interpretation in the form of text boxes.
Minor changes are spread thorughout the package and concern mostly improved naming and descriptions.
