## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-17

What's New in 1.3.0

App Tour
New to TrailSense? A guided tour now walks you through the key features on your first launch. You can replay it anytime from Settings → App Tour.

Smarter Plant & Mushroom Identification
PlantNet and the on-device AI model now run in parallel, giving you faster results and a local confirmation badge when both agree on a species. Mushroom detection accuracy has been improved with a refined confidence threshold and an expanded species database.

Group Trail Reliability
The Group Trail feature has been significantly improved. Firebase authentication errors are now clearly reported with a Retry button, so connection issues no longer leave you stuck on a setup screen.

Feature Discovery Hints
Pulsing green badges on the Flora, Discoveries, and Group tabs guide you to features you may not have explored yet. Tap the badge to learn what each feature does.

Full Localization — English, Turkish & Portuguese
All app text — including coach marks, feature hints, settings labels, and navigation — is now fully translated into English, Turkish (Türkçe), and Portuguese (Português).

Bug Fixes & Polish
• Fixed a UI refresh issue that prevented the Group retry button from updating the screen
• Improved app launch stability after a cache clear
• Minor performance improvements throughout

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-11

Group Trail — Bug Fixes
• Member triangles now visible on the map — switched from MapLibre's addImage/addSymbol (silent failures) to a Flutter CustomPaint overlay drawn directly on screen
• Triangle rotation fixed — your own triangle now rotates in real time using the device compass instead of GPS course (no more 5-second lag)
• Map rotation compensation — when the user rotates the map, all triangles stay correctly oriented on screen
• Stale location bug fixed — getLastKnownPosition() is now only used if it is fresher than 30 seconds; otherwise a fresh GPS fix is requested. Previously, an hours-old cached position could be pushed to Firestore, showing members at the wrong location

Group Trail — New Features
• QR code invite — a QR code is shown when creating a group; others can scan it with the camera instead of typing the 6-character code
• Stop Hike / Stop Ride button — full-width red button below the stats bar; label adapts to activity type
• All members' route lines on the map — each participant's path is drawn in their assigned color (own route is thicker/more opaque; others are thinner/translucent)
• Auto-fit camera on first GPS fix — when the map opens before members have a location, the camera automatically zooms to fit everyone once the first position arrives

Bug Fixes
• onSessionCompleted / onSessionDeleted callbacks were missing from the web DatabaseService stub, causing a compile error caught by static analysis

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-01

Group Trail: Hike or ride with friends in real time. Share your live location, speed, and status — no account needed.

Plant & Mushroom ID: PlantNet AI now runs alongside the on-device model for faster, more accurate identification. Offline model improved with better mushroom recognition.

Portuguese support: TrailSense is now available in English, Turkish, and Portuguese.

Performance improvements and bug fixes.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-31

• Group Hiking: Share your real-time location with friends and 
  family. Create or join a group and see everyone on the map 
  as you hike together.

• Flora Scanner: Upgraded AI model now identifies 60 plant 
  and mushroom species offline — no internet required.

• Improved mushroom identification accuracy with expanded 
  species database.

• Minor UI improvements and bug fixes.
