- GIMDES halal certification recognized — Products with GIMDES labels on pack (e.g. gimdes, en:gimdes) now clear the needs-halal-certificate flag on animal products, same as other recognized halal cert bodies. - Fewer false suspicious flags on named flavors — hyphenated flavor names like Vanille-Aroma are no longer flagged as generic unspecified flavoring. - More additives flagged as suspicious — added detection for 19 more E-numbers (emulsifiers like polysorbates, sorbitan esters, and polyglycerol esters, plus lanolin and L-cystine) across 7 languages. - Suspicious additives/labels no longer shown as flat "not halal" — products flagged only through a suspicious additive or label (e.g. an emulsifier that may be animal-derived) now correctly show as suspicious instead of not halal. - More accurate certificate checks — fixed a bug where a cross-language keyword mix-up could wrongly flag a product as needing halal certification; Analysis Transparency now shows which keyword and language triggered a flag. - Fixed certificate-required badge — products confirmed as animal-derived now correctly show `Needs halal certificate` instead of `Suspicious` when an unrelated suspicious ingredient, label, or additive is also flagged. - Community hub in app — The Community tab (formerly About) links to halalscan.at, keyword suggestions, verdict reports, GitHub source code, the developer guide, and team contact. A Contribute prompt on Home and Result opens the same hub. - Language and account on every tab — The language picker and sign-in/account menu now appear in the app bar on Keywords, Halal Directory, Community, and Admin tabs, not just Home.

- Edge-to-edge compliance — Fixes a Play Store warning about deprecated Android APIs; improves display on Android 15 devices. - Keyword fix: 'manteca' (Spanish) — 'manteca de cerdo' (pork lard) is now correctly flagged as haram; bare 'manteca' and 'manteca animal' are flagged as suspicious; plant-derived forms like 'manteca de cacao' (cocoa butter), 'manteca vegetal', and 'manteca de karité' are no longer flagged. - Broiler, fryer, piliç keywords — Added Turkish 'piliç', English 'broiler'/'fryer', and German 'Broiler' as chicken synonyms so products using these terms trigger halal cert review. - Verdict fix: unknown ingredients — Products with no ingredient data are now correctly shown as Unknown instead of Halal.

- Improved meat detection — Products containing chicken, beef, turkey, or other meat without a halal certificate now correctly show as not halal instead of passing as halal. - Share analysis — Share a product's halal analysis via WhatsApp, copy link, or any app from the result screen.

- Related guides — Flagged ingredients on the result screen now link to halalscan.at articles (e.g. natural flavour, E-numbers). Tap Read guide on any flagged item or open the related guides section. - Admin guide links — Admins can attach halalscan.at blog slugs to any ingredient canonical (built-in or custom) in Rules; updates appear on the next scan without an app release. - Guide card descriptions — Related guide cards now show full titles and descriptions for blog slugs managed in the database, not just a generated title.

- EU alcohol-free labels - Products marked alcohol-free or alkoholfrei (including trace under 0.5%) are now flagged as not halal; true 0% alcohol and fatty alcohols stay excluded. - Photo auto-approve (superadmin) - Superadmins can enable auto-approve in Admin System Settings so user photo uploads publish immediately without the manual review queue. - Photo submission feedback — After you upload a product photo, the result screen shows a pending-review state until it is approved; duplicate uploads for the same slot are blocked. - My contributions — Signed-in users can review all photo uploads and their status (pending, approved, rejected) from the account menu.

- Admin analysis header — Fixed pending/total stats rendering vertically on narrow layouts in the Analysis approval tab. - Deep Analysis toggle — Superadmins can enable or disable per-ingredient Deep Analysis in System Settings; when off, the Analyse button and admin Analysis queue are hidden.

- Microbial rennet on labels — Products listing microbial or vegetable rennet (e.g. mikrobielles Lab, pflanzliches Lab) are no longer flagged as possibly animal-derived; plain Lab or rennet without a source still prompts verification. - Aroma / flavouring warnings — Vague aroma and flavouring flags now note that alcohol may be used in extraction, not only animal-derived sources. Vegan-labelled products get an updated explanation: animal origin is not assumed, but alcohol content still cannot be ruled out. - Result screen sync — Suspicious-ingredient banners and findings now match server analysis and mention alcohol extraction for aroma/flavouring, not only animal origin. Rescans pick up newer shared-database results instead of stale local cache.

- Finding language — the app now reports what it found rather than issuing a verdict: "Nothing flagged", "Haram ingredients detected", "Suspicious ingredients found"

- **Localized verdict explanations** — Result screen explanations now follow your app language instead of stored English analysis text. - **More E-numbers flagged** — E481, E482, E570, E572, E631, and E635 are now detected as suspicious (may be animal-derived). - **Three-tier result screen** — verdict and images are always visible; findings (flagged ingredients) expand with one tap; full details (allergens, ingredient list, transparency) open in a sheet.

Image cropping — you can now crop photos before sending them for ingredient analysis or product image submission. Image upload preview — after cropping a product photo, a preview is now shown with Cancel and Submit buttons before the image is sent. Transparency card — label analysis — Analysis Transparency now shows labels checked, flagged labels, and suspicious labels; German and Turkish translations added for all transparency card strings. Redesigned result screen — verdict and product name are now combined in a compact hero card, ingredient images appear side by side, ingredients are collapsed by default showing only flagged items, and the Deep Analysis and Community Discussion cards are merged into one section. Scan Another fixed from history — tapping 'Scan Another Product' now opens the scanner even when the result was opened from scan history. Reanalyze fix — Re-scanning a product no longer overwrites AI-sourced ingredients with dummy data from Open Food Facts. Allergens, additives & brand on result screen — the result screen now shows brand and pack size on the product card, plus a collapsible 'Allergens & Additives' section with allergen, may-contain, and additive chips; chips are highlighted when they match a keyword finding. Additive analysis — food additives (E-numbers) are now analysed for halal status; haram additives (e.g. E120 carmine, E542 bone phosphate, E904 shellac) and suspicious additives (e.g. E471, E441, E322) are highlighted in colour on the result screen.

- **Smarter ingredient checks** — Products with Cyrillic or other non-Latin labels now use Open Food Facts English text and taxonomy when available, so pork and similar terms are detected reliably (e.g. Bulgarian minced pork). Explanations no longer claim a haram name match when none was found. - **Result details** — When keyword matching used translated or taxonomy data, the result screen shows which source was used (label, OFF language, or taxonomy). - **Label analysis** — Product labels (e.g. 'contains pork') are now scanned for haram and suspicious keywords and shown separately on the result screen. - **Gelatin reclassified as suspicious** — Gelatin and E441 are now flagged as suspicious (requires source verification) rather than haram, since halal sources (fish, halal-certified beef) exist. Unspecified gelatin is predominantly pork-derived in Western markets — look for a halal logo or explicit source labelling. - **Flagged label highlighting** — product labels flagged as haram or suspicious are now shown in red/orange on the result screen, and the verdict explanation now includes label warnings alongside ingredient warnings.

- Community display name — After sign-in, confirm or choose the name shown in discussions and comments. Change it anytime from your profile menu. - User role — Your account menu now shows your role (e.g. Member, Moderator, Scholar, Admin). - Smoother Google sign-in — On iPhone and Android, sign in with the native Google account picker when possible, with a browser fallback if needed. Fixes an issue that could block sign-in on iOS. - More reliable scan history on Android — Improved local database setup so your scan history saves more reliably.
