 ## CHANGES
 
-* The `name` attribute is now a "special `plot_ly()` argument" and behaves similar to `split` (it ensures a different trace for every unique value supplied). Although this leads to a breaking change (`name` was previously appended to an automatically generated trace name), it leads to a more flexible and transparent API. Those that wish to have the old behavior back should provide relevant mappings to the `name` attributes (e.g. `plot_ly(mtcars, x = ~wt, y = ~mpg, color = ~factor(vs), name = "a")` would become `plot_ly(mtcars, x = ~wt, y = ~mpg, color = ~factor(vs), name = ~paste(vs, "\na"))`)

 * The `color` argument now maps to `fillcolor`, making it much easier to use polygon fills to encode data values (e.g., choropleth maps). For backwards-compatibilty reasons, when `color` maps to `fillcolor`, `alpha` defaults to 0.5 (instead of 1). For an example, `plot_mapbox(mn_res, color = ~INDRESNAME)` or `plot_mapbox(mn_res, split = ~INDRESNAME, color = ~AREA, showlegend = FALSE, stroke = I("black"))`.
 * The `color` argument no longer automatically add `"markers"` to the `mode` attribute for scatter/scattergl trace types. Those who wish to have the old behavior back, should add `"markers"` to the `mode` explicity (e.g., change `plot_ly(economics, x = ~pce, y = ~pop, color = ~as.numeric(date), mode = "lines")` to `plot_ly(economics, x = ~pce, y = ~pop, color = ~as.numeric(date), mode = "lines+markers")`).
 * The `size` argument now informs a default [error_[x/y].width](https://plot.ly/r/reference/#scatter-error_x-width) (and `span` informs [error_[x/y].thickness](https://plot.ly/r/reference/#scatter-error_x-thickness)). Note you can override the default by specifying directly (e.g. `plot_ly(x = 1:10, y = 1:10, size = I(10), error_x = list(value = 5, width = 0))`).
