## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.14 — 2026-10-15

What's new:
• The bake planner follows each recipe's own times – rye, focaccia, buns and more no longer get a 12-hour fridge rest, and a levain build is added where the recipe needs one
• “Bake this” and “Plan ready time” buttons on recipes
• The starter card shows when you last fed it and when the next feeding is due
• “Fed now” and “Snooze 2 h” straight from the feeding reminder
• A getting-started checklist
• Undo after feeding
• Clearer status icons – not just colour
• Corrected recipe facts: cinnamon buns with an active starter, water temperatures and the float test
• The lifetime purchase is shown clearly

### 1.3.13 — 2026-10-15

Neu:
• Wer einen kostenlosen Testzeitraum startet, sieht eine kurze Begrüßung mit drei guten ersten Schritten
• Checkliste „Deine erste Woche“ im Sauerteig-Tab
• Optionale Erinnerung am Tag vor dem Ende des Testzeitraums – mit Preis und Kündigungsweg
• Enddatum des Testzeitraums und „Abo verwalten“ in den Einstellungen
• Eigenes Rezept direkt im Rezepte-Tab anlegen
• Mitteilungen werden beim Einrichten einer Erinnerung erfragt, nicht beim Start

### 1.3.12 — 2026-10-13

Verbesserungen und Fehlerbehebungen.

### 1.3.11 — 2026-10-12
