1.8
August 1, 2026
v1.8 — Parity and polish: the daily Sankalpam now recites the next nakshatra alongside next tithi/yoga/karana; the Festivals tab surfaces observances up to 10 years out instead of hiding anything past a year; and Settings replaces the Gotra + Veda text fields with pickers (the same 24-entry Gothram catalog Family uses, plus a 4-Veda menu). Sankalpam — next nakshatra: The sankalpam sheet already reads "[current tithi] (until X) then [next tithi]" for tithi, yoga, and karana. It now does the same for nakshatra — "[current] nakshatra (until X) pinpu [next] nakshatra yuktayam" in the English column and "[current] நக்ஷத்ர யுக்தாயாம் (X வரை) பின்பு [next] நக்ஷத்ர யுக்தாயாம்" in Tamil — so the anga-yukta sequence is complete for evening or late-morning recitations that cross the boundary. Festivals — full 10-year horizon: Observances whose next occurrence is more than a year out (Adhika Masam intercalary months, rarer sankramanas, some tithi-yoga combinations) previously showed "Outside bundled window" even though the panchangam data goes through 2035. The horizon now searches the full bundled range, so those rows show a real date. The "outside bundled window" label still applies for genuine edge cases where a rule has no match anywhere in the bundle. Settings — Gotra + Veda pickers: The Sankalpam Identity section's Gotra field is now a searchable list of the 24 seed gothrams (Bharadwaja, Kashyapa, Vasishta, Atri, Vishwamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni, Agastya, and 16 more), the same catalog used when picking a gothram for a Family member. The Sutra field becomes a Veda menu with the four Vedas (Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda). Existing free-text values are preserved.
