## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.8 — 2025-08-20

• Dietary Preferences page polish. Current diet badges display accurately (e.g., Pescetarian + Lactose-Free) and stay in sync after saving.
• Smarter diet preferences. Your diet is now auto-derived from your rules (e.g., Pescetarian, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free) and saved reliably to your profile.
• New preference alerts. Search results show clear badges for Avoid (orange) and Allergy (red). Tap to see exactly which ingredients or tags conflict.
• Better ingredient matching. Works with both catalog IDs and free-text names for more reliable warnings.

### 1.1.7 — 2025-08-18

• Fixed: rare case where ingredient units showed as “null”; amounts now display with proper units (g, ml, etc.).
• Fixed: “to taste” and “as needed” no longer show a bogus number (no more “0 as needed”).
• Improved: ingredient rows in Recipe detail—qualitative amounts are clearer and no longer get truncated.
• Improved: consistent sticky headers across Shopping List Prep and View for a smoother scroll experience.
• Guardrail: “Create Shopping List” is disabled/hidden when no meals are planned, preventing empty lists.
• Polish: visual alignment and spacing tweaks on Shopping List pages for a cleaner, consistent look.
• Misc: minor bug fixes and small performance improvements.

### 1.1.6 — 2025-08-08

• Security hardening: patched a rare user-data exposure vector
• Follow graph refactor: optimized follow/unfollow paths for snappier feeds
• Bookmarks overhaul: moved to a user-centric model for faster load times
• Feedback engine migration: swapped Firestore for Prisma/Neon under the hood—smoother, more reliable
• Cross-stack performance tweaks: various under-the-hood speedups and memory optimizations
• Bug crush: miscellaneous fixes and UI polish for a more stable experience

### 1.1.5 — 2025-07-31
