     <b>Overview:</b> One of the principal objectives encompassed the establishment of a dedicated repository for the <b>Volesti R Package</b>, in light of the prior amalgamation of both <b>R</b> and <b>C++</b> code within a singular repository, which subsequently posed organizational complexities. In response, a conscientious endeavor was undertaken to restructure the repository framework for the stable <b>Volesti</b> version <b>1.1.2-6</b>. This endeavor involved the segregation of the <b>R</b> package code into a distinct repository denominated as <b>Rvolesti</b>, resulting in heightened lucidity and a more streamlined developmental approach.
 
     In order to facilitate seamless cohesion between the <b>Rvolesti</b> and <b>Volesti</b> repositories, the implementation of <b>Git Submodule</b> was undertaken. This strategic step enabled the <b>Rvolesti</b> repository to seamlessly retrieve the requisite <b>Header Files</b> from the <b>Volesti</b> repository.

     <b>Overview:</b> Ensuring the dependability and resilience of the <b>Volesti R Package</b> necessitated the incorporation of thorough testing mechanisms. In pursuit of this goal, emphasis was placed on the implementation of <b>CI</b> tests through the utilization of <b>GitHub Actions</b>. Specifically, the <b>rcmdcheck</b> package was utilized to execute static analysis and validate the <b>R</b> package comprehensively.

     <b>Overview:</b> During the <b>CI</b> testing phase, there were instances where unnecessary <b>Notes</b> were generated, posing a potential for ambiguity. In response, efforts were channeled towards the integration of the <b>.Rbuildignore</b> file into the <b>Rvolesti</b> repository. This file facilitated the exclusion of certain files or elements from the testing procedure.
