Released 28 Sep 2026

Previous Release

Improvements

• Re-announce updated What's New: Administrators can explicitly re-announce materially updated What's New content while preserving each user's earlier dismissal history.
• Editorial review for release communications: Administrators can preview, edit and explicitly approve selected release notes, announcements, contextual tips and Product Update content before activation.
• A more consistent PantryM8 experience: Recipe, Settings and Admin navigation now shares a clearer connected layout, while official PantryM8 branding automatically uses the right wordmark for each background.

Resolved Bugs

• More reliable Smart Shopping review: Smart Shopping now avoids showing review actions for Planner coverage that no longer has a Meal, while preserving valid active and completed shopping history.

2.2.7 - OCR Updates - shared item population

Released 2 Sep 2026

Previous Release

2.2.6 - OCR enhancement

Released 29 Aug 2026

Previous Release

Improvements

• Recipes where families plan and cook: Planner and Dashboard Meal cards show Recipe context, and Dashboard cooking details can be opened without leaving the day overview.
• Safer reviewed receipt processing: Receipt processing shows real progress, supports cancellation and recovery, and always keeps detected Items editable before confirmation.
• A clearer path from receipt to Items: Receipt review now guides unresolved products one at a time, offers stronger catalogue suggestions, keeps purchase quantities editable, and lets households manage their own learned receipt aliases.

Resolved Bugs

• Item creation returns to the right Meal: Creating an Item while editing a Meal now returns it to that Meal with the current ingredient selection intact.
• Planned Meals swap correctly: Dashboard and Planner swaps now exchange the selected planned entries while preserving their dates and individual planning details.
• Mobile navigation stays accessible: The portrait navigation menu and backdrop now remain above page content and close consistently across touch, keyboard and orientation changes.
• Locked plans stay protected: Planner bulk-clear actions now leave every Meal protected by completed shopping history in place and report protected entries before confirmation.
• More predictable Item searching: Item search waits for an explicit Enter or search action, keeps related controls together, and avoids duplicate requests when focus changes.
• More reliable receipt recognition: Valid grocery lines, multiple aliases for one Item, and database-timed processing now behave consistently while preserving reviewed confirmation and account-private learning.

2.2.5 - Social Media Logins & Vision OCR

Released 21 Aug 2026

Previous Release

New Features

• Controlled release preparation and updates: Administrators can prepare release content, apply required updates separately, validate communications and explicitly activate an audited release.

Resolved Bugs

• Planner and shopping polish fixes: Recent user-facing fixes improved planner return flow, shopping review actions, quantity handling, and cache-refresh behaviour for shared assets.
• More reliable OCR configuration testing: OCR credentials and bounded diagnostics store without truncation, and configuration tests use a valid deterministic image.

2.1.5 - August Updates & Onboarding Wizard

Released 4 Aug 2026

Previous Release

New Features

• A guided start for every household: A short, resumable Getting Started guide helps households choose planning, shopping and dashboard preferences before opening the part of PantryM8 they want to use first.
• Build an Item catalogue your way: Add initial Items from reviewed receipt scanning, shopping CSV files or manual entry, or continue without adding Items yet.

Improvements

• Clearer plan and feature visibility: My Plan, subscription-aware feature messaging, and shared release communication are now presented more clearly for everyday PantryM8 use.
• Safer reviewed receipt processing: Receipt processing shows real progress, supports cancellation and recovery, and always keeps detected Items editable before confirmation.
