  We are reporting the updates in version 0.2.0 of the Automated
SpectroPhotometric REDuction (ASPIRED) pipeline, designed for common use on
different instruments. The default settings support many typical long-slit
spectrometer configurations, whilst it also offers a flexible set of functions
for users to refine and tailor-make their automated pipelines to an
instrument's individual characteristics. Such automation provides near
real-time data reduction to allow adaptive observing strategies, which is
particularly important in the Time Domain Astronomy. Over the course of last
year, significant improvement was made in the internal data handling as well as
data I/O, accuracy and repeatability in the wavelength calibration.
