## Source excerpt

As I mentioned the other day, we have a lot of new features and announcements. Today I'd like to discuss the upcoming right side menu bar and new tab order functionality. Right SideMenu The old SideMenuBar supported the placement of the menu anywhere we want. We could place it in the left/right/top or bottom. The problem was that this support was painfully unreliable and inconsistent. When we migrated to the Toolbar API we ignored that support and only included the left side menu support. For some of us this isn't a big deal. Just a small limitation. However, if your app is localized to an RTL language this might be a problem.
