## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.11 — 2026-07-06

Permanently closed restaurants now show a greyscale hero image and a "Permanently Closed" badge, so it's immediately clear the venue is no longer operating before you tap in.

### 1.1.9 — 2026-05-31

Refined Logo Container: The main Hangry banner logo has been given a dedicated, optically balanced container with a subtle background anchor that matches the app's action buttons.
Tactile Spring Feedback: Tapping the logo now triggers a satisfying, springy micro-scale animation combined with a light haptic impact (HapticFeedback.lightImpact()) for a more premium, tactile feel.
Adaptive Contrast Tuning: The logo color automatically adapts to your system theme—using a rich crimson in light mode and a vibrant scarlet in dark mode to ensure perfect contrast and legibility.
Optimized Sizing: The logo has been scaled up slightly (from 36 to 40 units in height) to give it a stronger visual weight at the top of your screen.
