## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.9 — 2026-05-19

v1.0.9 Update Notes

Personal Page

- The "User Manual" entry has been changed to a small link next to the version number, making the interface simpler; the version number font is bolder for better readability.

Report Records

- **Offering Intentional Labor:** You can only submit your work after selecting an offering method. The unit will automatically update according to the selection, and the quantity will also be automatically filled in with the appropriate value; a new tip "1 stick of incense = 30 minutes" has been added.

- **Meditation:** You can only submit your work after selecting a meditation method.

- The prompt text on the homepage and the report window is now consistent, making the operation more uniform.

**Offering Intentional Labor Statistics:**

The "Today/Cumulative" section on the homepage cards and activity details page has been changed to display "Number of Times," as the time units for various offerings are different, and using the number of times is more accurate.

**My Classics/My Teachings:**

Items that only have a name and no link will display a "Name Only" label, and will be displayed based on your current language, allowing you to see at a glance which content is clickable and readable.

More Instant Content Updates

- The latest content will be automatically retrieved when you open the classic reader, and your reading progress will be retained.

- The list will automatically update when you return to the app; newly added classics or teachings will be visible without reopening the app.

French Selection Browsing

- New Kindle-like touch controls: 30% left for previous page, 30% right for next page, and 40% center for show/hide titles.

- The thumbnail view can be closed by clicking the outer area.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-05-13

New Features

- A new sub-menu has been added to the "Studying Teachings" activity: Clicking the "Study" button allows you to select teachings from the list (same process as "Reciting Classics and Group Practice").

- A "Manage Teachings" button has been added to the activity details page, allowing you to select the teachings you are currently studying.

Fixed Issues

- The maximum number of reports submitted per "Village Service" is now limited to 24 hours (including the +/− buttons for quick reporting on the details page and homepage, and automatic adjustment when switching items).

### 1.0.5 — 2026-04-07
