Changelog

October 15, 2026 New

Mobile App (version 1.1.21, build 90)

• Fixed the Festivals & Markets header buttons (Post, Season calendar, Google, Add Festival) overlapping and running off the edge of the screen on a phone
• Fixed a recurring festival or market occasionally showing up twice in the list after it rolled over to its next date, with no way to make the duplicate go away

October 12, 2026

Mobile App (version 1.1.21, build 88)

• Fixed the Males/Females counts on every species' roster screen (Sheep, Cattle, Goats, Swine, Horses, and more) showing 0 and 0 — the count was comparing against the word "male," but the app stores each species' own term (ram/ewe, bull/cow, buck/doe, and so on), so it never matched. Totals and the individual animal cards were never affected, just this one count
• Sharper, non-washed-out logo on the login, sign-up, and chat screens

October 5, 2026

Mobile App (version 1.1.20)

• Fixed animal photos showing the crest instead of the animal — photos are now sized for the phone before they leave the server, wherever they are stored
• Fixed saving an animal from the edit screen failing with a "method not allowed" error
• A photo you replace on the website now replaces the old one on the phone instead of sitting next to it

September 19, 2026

Registered Livestock

• Registered name, registration number, and registry on every animal — cattle, sheep, goats, swine, rabbits, horses, llamas, alpacas, and camels. Pedigrees print registry-style: registered names over barn names, reg numbers over tag numbers
• Registry description fields on cattle, sheep, and goats: strain (bloodline), horn status, colors and markings with their locations, brands, and the breeder's name and address — the same fields your breed association records
• Ear tag details — color, shape, and which ear — on cattle, sheep, goats, and swine
• Outside sire and dam: record a purchased animal's parents by name and registration number without adding them to your herd. They show on the pedigree as real entries with their reg numbers
• Paste a registration certificate into the chat and the animal is created for you — registered name, reg number, tattoos, sire and dam, breeder, markings, all extracted and previewed before anything saves
• New Registration Worksheet: one printable page with every field a registry application asks for, filled from the animal's record — ready to copy into ADGA's portal or any registry's form

Herd Intelligence

• Descendants view: every recorded offspring of a sire or dam, five generations deep with counts — the pedigree's other direction
• Offspring Loss report for sheep, cattle, and goats: every dam ranked by losses, split into lost-at-birth and died-later, with hard-birth counts and a repeat-offender flag
• Parasite Resistance report: every recorded deworming per animal and per bloodline, with frequent-treatment flags and watch flags on sire or dam lines that outrun the herd average — resistance problems that span generations, on one screen
• Goat lactation report: freshening-anchored lactations with 305-day totals, butterfat and protein, and milk-based breeding values
• Ask the chat any of it — "which ewes keep losing lambs?", "do I have a worm resistance problem in any bloodline?" — the numbers come from your records, nothing else

Weights

• Tag any weight with a milestone — birth, weaning, yearling, treatment, sale, or butcher — so you compare animals at the same points, not just dates
• The health-record form takes an optional "Weight Today" that saves a treatment-tagged weight record in the same stroke — dosing time is when animals are on the scale anyway

Day to Day

• Tasks are personal now: your list shows your own tasks by default, with a switch for the whole farm's or another member's
• Roster filters by sex — one tap splits rams from ewes, bucks from does, bulls from cows, on every species
• Tag numbers are now unique within your farm only — another farm using tag "42" no longer blocks yours. If a save is ever rejected, the form now says exactly why at the top instead of quietly bouncing
• 14 heritage sheep breeds added, including Florida Cracker, Gulf Coast Native, Hog Island, and Navajo-Churro
• Your public animal display now obeys the show-on-website switch, full stop — sold or deceased animals come off automatically, and a reference or memorial animal you re-tick stays up
• Event weather now forecasts the festival's own location, not your farm's
• Puppy waitlists say "All Reserved" when every puppy is spoken for, instead of inviting deposits for animals that aren't available

Mobile App (version 1.1.19)

• Everything above that touches an animal form works on the phone too — registration and registry details, outside parents, ear tags, milestone weights, and the reports
• Fixed the animal list showing a blank page on herds with lots of photos — photos are now sized for the roster
• Fixed weight and health records saved offline never reaching the server — stuck records sync on the next connection, no re-entry needed
• Weighing with a Bluetooth scanner connected now pops a number pad, since the scanner hides the keyboard

July 27, 2026 New

Product Subscriptions

• Sell any product as a recurring order — weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. Made for egg shares, milk, and soap-of-the-month boxes
• Buyers subscribe right from your storefront and are billed automatically each cycle — no reminders to send, nothing to re-order
• Every paid cycle creates the order and a fulfillment task, so packing day is already on your list
• Customers update their card or cancel through their own secure link — you're not fielding those requests by hand

Festivals & Markets

• Track every festival, market, and fair in one place — from "thinking about it" through applied, accepted, and confirmed
• Set an application deadline and it becomes a reminder task automatically, so you never miss a cutoff
• New Season Calendar shows your whole year at a glance — each event a colored bar by status, with application deadlines flagged
• Attach applications, permits, and maps to each festival, so the paperwork lives with the event
• Set a festival to repeat each year — next season's entry is ready without re-typing the details
• Record what you actually made and how busy it was, so you can see which festivals are worth going back to
• Turn on the booth-prep automation and an acceptance kicks off your checklist: pay the fee, confirm details, plan inventory

July 24, 2026 New

Wholesale & Per-Location Pricing

• Set a wholesale price on any product variant, and flag customers as wholesale — farm-stand and phone orders for those customers use the wholesale price automatically
• Set a different price per selling location — charge festival prices at the festival, farmers-market prices at the market, and store prices at each store, all from the same product
• Farm-stand and phone-order sales now have a "where's this sale happening" picker — the sale uses that location's price and comes out of that location's stock

Square POS

• Product barcodes now sync to Square as the item's UPC, so scanning at a register just works
• Per-location prices sync to the matching Square Location — link each of your locations to its Square Location from Storefront → Locations
• Barcode fields now warn you when a code won't sync as a Square UPC, so you can spot them before they matter

Counting Inventory — Edit Stock

• New Receiving scan mode: every scan adds to the count automatically — scan a whole box one item after another, no typing. Set a quantity per scan for sealed cases
• New Count from Photo mode: scan an item's barcode, snap a photo of the box, and the count is estimated for you — always shown as an estimate you can correct
• New Fresh Count button: zero out one location's counts before a full re-scan, so what you scan becomes the new total instead of stacking on stale numbers

Batch Production — Tray Barcodes & Labels

• Give a curing batch a tray barcode, print it, and stick it on the tray — then use the new Scan Cure Weight page to scan the tray and log a weigh-in without hunting the batch down in a list
• Print a single batch label sized for your label printer (2" round, 4×6", or 57×32mm) — save or share it straight to your printer's app
• Print labels for every curing batch at once on the same Avery label sheets the barcode generator uses — one pass for the whole rack
• Batches with no barcode get one assigned automatically when you print, so it's one step, not two

Cleaner Menus

• The Finances menu is now grouped into Sales, Inventory, Bookkeeping, and Reports instead of one long list — on the web sidebar and the mobile app menu both

Mobile App Fixes

• Fixed task reminders set on mobile silently disappearing — they now save to the server, survive sync, and carry over to each new occurrence of a recurring task
• Fixed the inventory photo-count failing with "could not count that photo" — and when something does go wrong, the message now tells you why

July 14, 2026 New

SMS Text Alerts

• Turn on text alerts for tasks, medical records, litters, invoices, hatches, your daily digest, waitlist activity, and account notifications — each one is its own toggle, so you only hear about what matters to you
• SMS is opt-in per notification type — nothing texts you until you turn it on
• Manage SMS preferences from your Profile on the web, or right from the mobile app
• Fixed a bug where saving notification preferences in the mobile app could silently reset settings you'd configured on the web

Batch Production

• Mark a batch as failed when it doesn't cure right or has to be thrown out — keeps your yield and revenue reports accurate instead of leaving a batch stuck in limbo

Account Security

• Two-factor login now locks out after repeated incorrect codes, so a lost or guessed phone number can't be brute-forced

June 29, 2026 New

Batch Production — Cure Tracking Log

• Add periodic weight entries to any batch to track moisture loss during curing
• Each batch now shows a Cure Log card with pour date, ready date, days remaining, and a full weigh-in history
• Ready date turns green with a checkmark once the cure period has ended — you know at a glance when a batch is sellable
• Cure end date now visible directly on the batch list alongside started date — no need to open each batch
• Fixed "Mark Curing" and "Mark Complete" buttons on iOS — both now work correctly
• Batch header no longer overflows on narrow mobile screens — title and action buttons stack cleanly
• Batch list no longer shows the product name twice when the batch name matches the recipe name

Mobile App — Task Fixes

• Fixed task editing on iOS — the Update Task button now saves correctly
• Fixed task deletion on iOS — the Delete Task button now works correctly
• Fixed ghost tasks: tasks deleted on the web no longer reappear in the app after the next sync
• Tasks now sync to your device in real time when you or a team member makes a change — no manual refresh needed

June 27, 2026

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where new users clicking the email verification link from a different device (e.g., registering on desktop, clicking the email on their phone) always got a 403 error — they can now verify their email normally
• Admins can now manually verify a user's email directly from the Manage Users panel — no more Tinker commands needed
