Release Notes

• More reliable Premium purchases: verification after payment now waits for the store and retries, so you no longer see a "could not be activated" error.
• Pending payments (e.g. carrier billing, Ask to Buy) unlock Premium as soon as they are approved, without restarting the app.
• The Premium page now matches our pricing page; the yearly plan's free trial is shown only when you are eligible.
• Subscription terms are now shown for your device's store (App Store or Google Play).
• If your store subscription is linked to another account, a clear notice now tells you so.
• Settings > Sync now shows the history of recent syncs, which you can optionally attach to your feedback.
• During account deletion, the app re-checks after two-factor verification that the account has not changed.
• Time-zone fixes: today's and tomorrow's tasks on the home screen land on the right day, and hatch and check dates saved late at night no longer shift.
• Scheduled reminders are skipped during quiet hours, and reminders no longer overwrite each other.
• Printed bird and pair QR codes now open directly in the app.
• Genetics calculator: blue-series names and double-factor labels are corrected, and multi-locus crosses and Opaline Lacewing targets resolve more accurately.
• Security: the server connection check now survives certificate renewals, the content filter also catches disguised spellings, the sender name of a message is verified on the server, and your community block and mute lists no longer disappear while offline.
• Empty list screens can now be scrolled on small displays.
• Birds: a bird edited offline no longer loses its photo, ring-number checks ignore letter case, and health reminders stop for sold or deceased birds.
• Calendar: reminders for events deleted or rescheduled on another device are cancelled, completed events can be reactivated, and generated event titles appear in your own language.
• Breeding: marking an egg damaged and deleting the last egg now ask for confirmation, and eggs cannot be added to a closed incubation.
• Home-screen counters no longer stop at three; account deletion and backups are safer, and clearing conflict history no longer removes edits you could still restore.
• Various bug fixes and performance improvements.

• More reliable sync: after a brief server outage the app no longer stays stuck in "You are offline" for the rest of the session — it recovers on its own once the connection is back.
• Stronger data protection during sync: conflicting edits are kept instead of being lost, and an interrupted sync resumes where it stopped.
• If you sign in with Google or Apple, you can now delete your account from inside the app.
• Your profile now shows which sign-in method (Google, Apple, email) you are using.
• When a bird is sold or dies, its related egg events are removed from the calendar.
• The password reset screen now has a "Cancel and sign out" option.
• Various bug fixes and improvements.

• Crash reporting is back to help us improve stability. Only the error type and call stack are sent; bird, account and message content is never sent.
• Fixed the fallback version number on the About screen.

This is a maintenance update focused on stability, sync and privacy.

Sync and Calendar:

• Calendar events now update across your devices in real time.
• Sync is more reliable on weak connections and when switching accounts.
• Fixed an issue that could stop the database from opening on devices updating from very old versions.

Breeding and Genetics:

• Chick calendar events now follow weaning and banding status correctly.
• The planner PDF now correctly flags first-cousin pairings.
• Genetics calculator suggestions are ordered more consistently when probabilities tie.

Ease of Use:

• On small screens, the "add" and "clear filters" buttons on empty lists are always reachable.
• Tapping the home screen widget opens the right page.

Privacy and Security:

• Logging was tightened so personal data and content never end up in error logs.
• Server-side protections for notifications and subscriptions were strengthened.

This is a massive milestone release featuring significant infrastructure upgrades, offline-sync optimizations, and user experience enhancements!

User Experience (UX) & Login Screen:

• Redesigned Login screen: Form elements now elegantly slide into view with staggered animations, and all buttons feature a responsive, tactile press-scale feedback.
• Restored the smooth "idle egg" wobble pace after a cancelled social login attempt.

Performance & Offline-Sync:

• Hardened offline synchronization recovery mechanisms to maintain stability even on poor network connections (high packet loss and high latency).
• Comprehensive memory optimizations: Eliminated duplicate data decoding and N+1 queries for conflict badges, making the app noticeably faster and smoother.

Genetics & Genealogy:

• Rolled out Genetics History Sync Phase 2, featuring a fortified conflict resolution system.
• Cached sibling counts and fast-pathed carrier split badges to make the genealogy tree load instantly even for large flocks.

Admin Panel & Import Flow:

• Enforced safe two-step destructive guards for bulk purges and account deletions.
• Improved the bird import module to support order-independent lineage mapping and accurate quota counters.

Security & Infrastructure:

• Fully remediated external audit findings across sync, backup routines, and Premium quota constraints.
• Completely removed Sentry integration to improve user privacy and reduce the app footprint.

We also added a stunning "Interactive 3D Budgie Breeding Scene" to our landing page!

What's new and improved:

• Photos are now backed by permanent records instead of expiring links — community, bird, egg, and chick photos load reliably with automatically renewed secure URLs.
• Message notifications are now recipient-bound: no more missed or misrouted notifications, and message photos display securely.
• The genetics engine has been updated: sex-linked inheritance phases are computed more accurately, and unsupported crosses show a clear notice instead of misleading results.
• Stronger data integrity: deleting pairs, eggs, or chicks no longer leaves orphaned reminders, and comment and message history no longer skips entries.
• Chat photos are now securely cleaned up server-side during account deletion.
• In-app update checks are improved — update prompts now show the correct version.
• Expanded screen-reader support (verification codes and notifications) and fixed plural texts across languages.

Thanks for your feedback!
