v 2023.9

Big design refresh!

## Cowsmetic
- The Meals list (accessible from the top-left button of the Today view) finally looks like what I imagined initially. It has a reading mode with a clean interface, and an editing mode that comes to life with animations when you tap on a given day.
- A more moderate and pleasant dose of color! Let's face it, I'd been a bit heavy-handed with the green. I've been using this update for several weeks now and I love it!

## Texts
- Added a note about pretzels for vegans - Thanks Marina

## Bug Hunt
- The planets would not snap back into place when the meal details were closed by tapping on the starry background.

## Improvement

v 2023.7

## Improvement
- In the meals history, meals are now sorted by their occasion. This way, Breakfast will always come before Lunch, even if you entered them in reverse order. It should help if you do like me and sometimes answer at the end of the day by going back in time.
- Made the app 5% smaller by... redesigning the Paywall. If you remember, I had started a big work in this sense, but this step needed a redesign to get rid of the very heavy images. Hopefully, this will also bring more of you to support me in exchange for superpowers !

## Bug Hunt

- Improved performance on first launch

## Texts
- Fixed missing Widgets titles and descriptions
- Fixed text in Pretzel Day description

## Foundations
- Use a local configuration when reading data for widgets
- Improved the way the application asks for time in the background to check the arrival/departure of cows. Previously, the application could run out of time before it could perform its calculations.

v 2023.4

This update is a new start with the possibility to record more information about your meals.

The difficulty was to keep the ultra fast and simple mode (\"yes/no\"), while proposing to go further when you want.

At the beginning, I thought I would simply propose to record the types of meat. But I quickly felt like being able to track fruits and vegetables from time to time because not all of them have the same effects on health or the environment.

I hope you enjoy this update as much as I do.

## New
- Food Portions: keep track of the ingredients you've eaten. Whether you just want to keep track of the type of meat you ate, or keep a comprehensive record of what you eat, anything is possible!
- Ingredients Library: more than 300 food products to choose from, carefully organized and classified according to whether they contain meat or not
- Meal Occasions: specify when a meal happend - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack
- Vegan Meals: specify when a meal is vegan. Your efforts will not go unnoticed.
- Fasting: make those meatless \"meals\" count too! You can even add a moon to quickly log them.
- Add notes and tags: remember the circumstances or the delights you ate

## Improvement
- Redesigned speech bubble with a more visual display of your meals.
- A small cloud is displayed when an iCloud sync is in progress.

v 2023.3

OK, this is an update I didn't expect to make, but I discovered that the birthday cows weren't working in 2023 and I didn't want to wait another minute to fix that. I've thrown in a few other goodies for good measure.

## New
- New small and large widgets that will display a random cow - Thanks for the nudge Nyki & Filip

## Cow care
- Added the 2023 edition of the Easter Cow

## Improvement
- When visiting a day in the past, the theme and moon of the day correspond to the day visited instead of the current day.
- Add a list of ongoing timers. Otherwise, if you launched a timer and killed the app, it became impossible to stop it - Thanks Axel
- Collateral bonus: you can now launch multiple timers at the same time

## Bug Hunt
- Birthday Cows are back in 2023: if your birthday happened before January 1st and today, go to the settings and claim your cow

- The back arrow in the detail of a Forecast returned to its place (left) - Thanks Ethan
- You can close a Forecast with a left swipe - Thanks Ethan (again)

v 2023.1

Happy Moo Year! I wish you many delicious meals, good health, and a peaceful mind.

Great things are planned for this year, I can't wait to share them with you. The first major update will involve recording the details of your meals (while keeping it simple when you don't want to bother with more than a yes/no answer).

In the meantime, here's a little update to start the year on the right hoof. It introduces a new concept: collectible energies. These are groups of special energies that show up at random times. These are groups of special energies that manifest at random times. The forecast will tell you that an energy is present, but it won't reveal exactly which one.

Energized cows look different from normal cows and some of the energies in these collections may be rare or unique, so don't miss them!

## Cow care
- 2 additional cows in February

## Bug Hunt
- Sometimes the application did not have time to calculate the arrival and departure of cows. This led to late arrivals (or departures). Cows like to be punctual, so this was annoying.

v 2022.32

My little family caugth a seasonal bug. As an indie, this kind of thing means there's no one left to do the work. Thankfully, everyone is doing better
## Improvement
- For peace of mind, the notification asking if you ate meat today will disappear after you answer - Thanks Filip for the suggestion

## Texts
- ″Frequenty Asked Questions″ has found its L.

## Bug Hunt
- If the number of your responses/meals changed significantly each day (e.g. 50 one day, 20 the next, 70 the next), the app could no longer do its calculations (add missing days, attract cows, etc.). I had not imagined this use and the app was not ready to handle the resulting numbers . It should be better now. As always, just record a new meal and the system will self-correct. If you are one of the users who sometimes have more than 5 responses per day, I would like to talk with you to understand your usage please :)
- If you registered a meal for the day, before receiving the news of the day before, the cow you were about to attract was included in the headcount.Whether you understood that sentence or not, you can see why solving this bug might have been a headache. Thanks to the anonymous user who reported it!
- When using shortcuts, the view presented in response would sometimes crash

## Foundations
- We will soon be able to log more content inside the app, but this will require an update of the database. I made (big) changes in preparation for this.

Nov. 22, 2022

v 2022.31

A much smaller app, and even cuter cows.

## Improvement
- The application is 50 to 75% smaller. On an iPhone 14 Pro, that's like going from 72 MB to 22 MB. This means faster downloads with each app update, more storage space for you, and ultimately a greener app.
- The horizon of the forecasts listing the upcoming special cows is now the same as that of the calendar - Thanks Igor
- Cowlidays moons show up even if you're not a Naomist (but you're going to subscribe, right?)

## Cowsmetic
- The app size reduction prompted me to redo the cow images, so I took the opportunity to incorporate the cow makeover that was lying around in my bag. Nothing dramatic, just something to make the cows even cuter.

## Bug Hunt
- Some cows sometimes remained half associated with their day of arrival. What can I say, they are faithful.
- The detail view of the forecast sometimes had an animation bug: the whole view went up and down, instead of just the energy sphere.

## Compliance
- Some alternative app icons have been removed in accordance with ″App Store Review Guidelines″. These icons were too abstract to clearly identify the app.

v 2022.29

## Improvement
- On the Apple Watch, widgets are smarter about the selected tab when opening the app

## Bug Hunt
- Rounding errors could lead to unattributed cows. This is the remains of a previously fixed bug, but the fix could be ineffective if the number of meals per day was often different at the time.
- The release notes would crash if it was taking too long to load them - thanks KP Fate
- In the bug report view, the application version check indicated that you had a beta version even when you had the current version.

## Foundations
- The iOS and watchOS apps now share the same root, which is a step towards more watchOS views and other devices.
- Removal of items specific to iOS 14 support

v 2022.28

## New
- If a new version of the application is available, it will be displayed in the Settings. This should help you make sure your app is always up to date with the latest special cows!

## Bug Hunt
- On some rare occasions, the day change was not taken into account - thanks Adam
- Some cows were confused about their arrival date and did not appear on the right day in the history.
- On a Cowliday, the daily message would be displayed on any date, not just the current one.
- The bug report view now includes a self-diagnosis (previously only available in a convoluted way)

## Texts
- Localization of the Watch widgets names

## Foundations
- Improved data persistence processing logic to avoid unnecessary operations
- Added a check when running routine data checks to avoid data modification when possible

v 2022.27

Did you notice that we went from version 4.23 directly to version 2022.27? I changed my marketing version numbering scheme. I'll now be using the year and a number that will be incremented along the year. I believe that it's better for the app, for me, and thus for you as well. [Read more](https://sowenjub.me/writes/im-done-with-semantic-versioning/).

## Cow care
- The 2023 New Year's cow is ready to start the year with you.

## Bug Hunt
- Some of you tap faster than Flash, recording more than one meal per second. Unfortunately, the app didn't always have time to digest them, and it could lead to missing cows. Cows are used to chewing for a long time, that's why they didn't understand what was going on! As usual, if you were affected by this issue, it should solve itself the next time you answer. No cow is ever left behind, that's the Arnaud guarantee!

## Texts
- Localized the names of the Watch widgets

## Foundations
- Updated the logic handling purchases

v 4.23

An update taking advantage of the new features of iOS 16.1, but which you can enjoy in part from iOS15!
Cows are eager to do activities with you and to be even better companions. This update introduces a first activity that will allow them to be helpful to you.

## New
- Do an activity with your favorite cows! The Population View now includes a cow timer to accompany you while you cook, work or meditate. A randomly chosen cow among your favorites will accompany you during your session and lodge itself on your lock screen or your Dynamic Island if you have the latest iPhone.

v 4.22

## New
- The Watch app can now display upcoming Cowlidays. Swipe left to right to reveal it, or use the countdown widget.

## Improvement
- The Cowlidays Widgets redirects to the list of upcoming Cowlidays (both on the Locked Screen or the Watch).
- I also added the contact options in the release notes. It seems like a good place to invite you to contact me, whether you're happy with the updates or have spotted a problem.
- Enabled proper support for time sensitive notifications.

## Cowsmetic
- Improved the layout of the Home Screen Widget

## Bug Hunt
- Modifying missed days prompted you to subscribe; the subscription is required to modify the days you have already entered in the past, but you do not need it to catch up on missing days.

## Foundations
- The Widget and Watch app now use the same SwiftUI views as the main app for the planets (instead of images)
- Improved the code to fix various (harmless) warnings

You asked for them, here they are: Birthday Cows!

## New
- Birthday Cows: you can now get a cow on your birthday! If your birthday was earlier this year, don't worry, I've got you covered: you'll be able to claim your cow from the Settings. And there's also a mechanism to make sure you can get all the cows if your birthday falls on a holiday. How cool is that?

## Cow care
- A cow for the app's 3rd anniversary
- Sixteen's tail was clipped. It's healed now.

## Bug Hunt
- The bug that was turning your History into a windmill farm was back. Again. If this has affected you, just answer the question of the day as usual and your cows should be back soon. If not, please contact me.

- iOS14 would sometimes crash when displaying details about the subscription
- Updated a dependency that cause a crash on WatchOS
- Shorcuts no longer allow you to perform actions that require a subscription (sorry :p)
- Cows would sometimes get lost on their way to your planet. Space is vast, we can't really blame them, can we?

This update takes advantage of the new features in iOS16 to make it always easier to reach your goals and master your diet.

## New
- Overview Widget: keep an eye on your daily, weekly or monthly progress with a configurable widget that comes in all available formats (Inline, Circular and Rectangular). And since you can add the same widget multiple times, you can add this widget 3 times, change their configuration and track all 3 periods on the same screen!
- Cowlidays Widget: never miss a special cow again with this widget that displays the next (or the next 2) dates when you have a chance to attract one.
- Essential Widget: just a cow. I mean, who doesn't want a cow on their locked screen?
- New Watch Complications to track upcoming Cowlidays
- Shortcuts: there are both predefined Shortcuts as well as actions to use in your automation. If Siri doesn't understand you, let me know and I'll add more phrases!

Note: all Widgets are designed to make sure your data stays private.

## Cow care
- Two special cows, to celebrate iOS16 and Steve Jobs

## Improvement
- Hide toggle when the Cow name is not editable
- More daily puns (Thanks Gorlock for inspiring one of them, you're cowsome!)

- An invitation link to join a Discord server. Ask me anything or come talk about the future of the app.

- The Watch extension is more reactive
## Cowsmetic
- The Today view was refreshed, packed with more stars and all its planets entered the SwiftUI realm.
## Bug Hunt

July 1, 2022

v 4.16

Hey!

This update includes a big improvement: a better cow allocation logic that may well earn you more cows.
These changes are retroactive: a recount will take place when your device is idle. If this has an impact on your population, you will get a message in the "Population" view.

# Improvements
- The weekly goal of 0 days without meat has become a "guilt-free mode": the cows will never leave you. It's perfect for people who prefer an opportunistic approach to reducing meat consumption. Previously, this 0 days per week goal was actually 1 day out of 8 day, which meant you could lose cows even though you had no weekly goal!
- Calculations are now done on a weekly basis (Monday to Sunday, in accordance with the international standard ISO 8601 to allow for the arrival of worldwide statistics), instead of 7 rolling days. The rolling day system could result in cows being lost while the target of x days per week was met. Using the weekly basis is more consistent with the principle of setting a weekly goal as well as with the personal organization of many.
- When displaying lists of cows, the sorting was inconsistent between the preview and the full list
- The warning displayed when you change a day in the past has been removed: it was scary and annoying rather than anything else.

# Bug Hunt
- Cows that were spooked on the current day were considered already gone (and their names were already unchangeable). - Thanks Paula!
- Processing of data downloaded from the cloud could get stuck in a loop
- Sometimes, ephemeral clones would be generated for no good reason
- In even rarer cases, these two previous bugs could prevent the merging of cows

# Cowsmetic
- Brand new and fun way to set your weekly goal: check it out in the settings!
