## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-12

1.1.0 is here! What's new:

• Alchemist's Journey — 10 levels, 4 progress trails, and 40+ achievements
  (themed, individual, and secret) to track your growth in the kitchen.
• Photo Alchemy — snap a photo of your fridge or pantry and let AI
  recognize the ingredients to generate recipes.
• EPUB import — pull recipes straight from ebooks, with the same
  multi-recipe-per-file support already available for PDF.
• Automatic translation — recipes imported in another language are now
  detected automatically and offer one-tap translation, including in
  batch when the file has multiple recipes.
• Smart substitutions — ingredient swap suggestions (now with a choice
  between multiple options, including vegan ones) and serving-size
  scaling with cook-time estimates.
• Quick time filter — find recipes under 15, 30, or 60 minutes right on
  the home screen.
• A more complete Alchemy — pick servings and a max time for generated
  recipes, and reuse your last purchase's ingredients with one tap.
• Shopping list grouped by market section (produce, dairy, butcher...)
  and a planner showing the full week with per-meal slots.

Fixes: the shopping list now has a button to clear the whole cart; the
keyboard now dismisses automatically when generating recipes in Alchemy;
plus additional stability improvements.
