What's New in Mercury

1.2.4

September 7, 2026

Version 1.2.4 (build 2) New Features - Critical Control Points in Cooking Mode now show specific information: the exact target internal temperature (e.g. "Cook to 165°F internal temperature") plus guidance on what to verify; Control Points explain what to follow. - Imported recipes keep your original directions word-for-word. The instructs the AI to copy each step verbatim, then verifies every against your pasted text (text, photo, and web imports) and restores the original wording whenever the AI paraphrased. - The Import from Website sheet now reminds you that you can share directly to Mercury. Improvements - If the AI drops a numbered instruction during import, it's restored in the correct order and section. - Ingredient amounts import correctly from meal-kit-style lists where quantity follows the name ("Ground Beef 250 g"), including fractions (1½) and glued amounts like "7g". - Fractions are pre-converted before the AI reads them, so "¼ cup" imports as 0.25 cup — directions still display fractions normally. - When an ingredient's amount can't be determined, its unit is kept instead dropped, and unit-only ingredients display cleanly in lists, the share text, and the grocery list. Bug Fixes - Units and amounts no longer fail to import from column-formatted text. - Fixed fraction amounts occasionally importing garbled (e.g. "¼ cup becoming "14 g"). - Personal library recipes now refresh immediately after saving an matching shared library behaviour. - Editing an ingredient or step directly from a recipe's detail view right away, updates the view instantly, and refreshes Cook Mode's step ingredients.
