Kifu notation has been extended. Next to the original western notation style, Kawasaki and Japanese notation styles have been added. So now it looks much better from a Japanese aesthetic. If one were to find fault, it would be that the 「打つ」 for dropping pieces and the 「右左引直」 for disambiguation are not supported, and for the latter case the "departure square coordinate" is given just as in chess. For those who are familiar with computer shogi, perhaps it would be easier to describe as a mix with the CSA format.
However, it would be unreasonable to demand this much improvement at the current juncture. It's good enough how far it's come.
