Hey birders, it’s been a long time coming! We’ve been working hard at adding new features, implementing feedback, and squashing bugs! Many of the changes were internal overhauls to allow for bigger and faster updates in the future, but we still have more than enough in this one for y’all to sink your teeth into for the next little bit!
The highlights for this version are the new bird species and its accompanying seed, the reworked first section, and the auto-save system (finally!). Of course, we’ve worked on many other things since the last update, the full* notes are below.
