What's New in Mercury
1.2.5
September 8, 2026
What's New: No new features in this release — 1.2.5 focuses on polishing recipe import and layout. Improvements: Importing from meal-kit sites is much cleaner: embedded tip lists inside step text are now converted to readable lines instead of coming in as raw markup, and amounts written with fraction characters (¼, 1¼) or glued to their unit (250g) are now parsed correctly even on the web-import path just as they are on the AI-import path. Long recipe names on library cards now expand to a third line and scale down slightly when needed, so the full title stays visible instead of being cut off. Bug Fixes: Fixed an edge case where HTML tags and entities from a recipe's webpage could leak into the imported recipe name, description, ingredients, andinstructions.
