## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-14

Event check-in is here. Scan the code at the door and the app checks you in.

New to Neat Notes? The same code walks you through setup and checks you in once your account is ready. Nothing to type, no code to remember.

Tastings you log at an event build your palate profile like any other pour.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-07-22

Fixed an issue where tapping "Confirm my account" from the verification email could take you to the website instead of opening the app. Improved reliability of event check-in via QR code. Minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-25

Discover got smarter. Browse whiskey venues and upcoming 
events, now with location support to filter by your area 
automatically. Plus performance improvements under the hood.

### 1.1.9 — 2026-06-23

Bug fixes, performance improvements, and refinements to palate matching. Better experience across the board.

### 1.1.8 — 2026-06-16

What's new in 1.1.8
Direct from Barrel events are here. Hosts can now run private barrel selection tastings — think liquor store groups heading to a distillery to pick a single barrel release. Add barrels directly from your inventory, let attendees log tastings, and see full event analytics on every pour. No catalog entry required.
For distillery partners, your tracked barrels now connect directly to your events. Build a lineup from your existing stock and get structured palate data from every taster before you pull the trigger on a release.
A few other things we cleaned up this update — the events discovery feed now refreshes properly, and some behind the scenes improvements to how tasting data flows into your analytics.
As always, every tasting makes your palate profile smarter. Keep pouring.
