The month picker grows out of the scope pill and stays aligned when you resize. Notifications are delivered more reliably with localized English/French rendering and durable offline reconciliation, so language and delivery state survive reconnects. Treasury month workflows are timezone-aware, All recent navigation is restored, and closed-month details load reliably. Offline sync, reconnect recovery, and the macOS launch experience are also more dependable.

New in this release: expense proof receipts are now available from expense details and My Finance. Treasurers and beneficiaries can attach photos or PDFs, add remarks, link related expenses into one proof group, and record unused money returned to the original or another account. Clear status indicators show what remains, when spending came in under budget, and when the group is verified. Board members can review recent church expenses and their proof status. The Audit trail now brings expense deletions together with approval activity, with clearer dates and full-value details. Expense screens now show returned money more clearly, keep account balances updated as transactions change, and avoid displaying rounded amounts as negative zero. Offline syncing, reconnect recovery, proof navigation, and download handling are also more reliable.

Board and Elders now have dedicated hubs to review and approve sensitive treasury decisions, including clearing a counting session, verifying bank deposits, changing approval rules, and enabling Batch Input catch-up. Pending requests and approval history are easier to follow. Treasurers can use Batch Input to catch up on past records. Important actions now include clearer confirmations, and pending requests are easier to review. Church Finance shows a warning when balances may be out of date while catch-up is active. This update also improves offline access, syncing, and overall reliability.
