## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-07-19

Share with full details: The shared & saved panchangam image now includes the complete day timings every Tithi, Nakshatram, Yogam and Karanam with start & end times.
Refreshed Home: "Today's highlights" redesigned with clear section headers and tidy, easy-to-scan rows.
Polish & performance improvements.

### 2.1 — 2026-07-08

Both month systems now shown. During Krishna Paksha, the Masam displays both conventions e.g. "Nija Jyeshtha (Amanta) · Ashadha (Purnimanta)" so North Indian (Purnimanta) users see the correct month.
Full day timings. Daily, Home and Month screens now list every Tithi, Nakshatram, Yogam and Karanam of the day with exact start and end times, not just the sunrise value.
Widget update. The home screen widget now shows the Purnimanta month too.

### 2.0 — 2026-07-07

* More accurate festival dates
* Bug fixes and improvements

### 1.0.8 — 2026-06-01

Adhika Masa support: the calendar now correctly identifies and labels intercalary months (e.g. "Adhika Jyeshtham") and the following true month ("Nija Jyeshtham"). Festivals like Varalakshmi Vratam, Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi and others now fall on the canonically correct date during Adhika years (next up: 2026 Adhika Jyeshtha). Sankalpa text also reflects the Adhika/Nija prefix.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-05-31

• Fixed festival dates for users outside India. Raksha Bandhan,   Varalakshmi Vratam, Krishna Janmashtami and other Hindu festivals now show the canonical India observance date everywhere in the  world (matching Drik Panchang and community calendars), instead of shifting based on local sunrise.
• Fixed off-by-one date in shared festival/vrat PNG exports for users west of UTC (US, Canada, UK).
• Thank you to everyone who reported the Aug 2026 dates — keep the feedback coming!
