  • Strengthened privacy: more reliable GDPR data export and deletion behind the scenes.
  • A more stable platform overall through many behind-the-scenes improvements.
Feature

v1.1 – More precise varroa alerts & seasonal thresholds

  • New varroa triage: treatment threshold reached (≥10 mites/day summer, ≥3 autumn, ≥5 spring) now triggers 'urgent' — previously required exceeding it. Aligns with EU 2019/6 'threshold reached = act'.
  • **Heads-up for existing users:** If your last varroa measurement was exactly at the threshold, it now shows as 'urgent' — please review treatment. Reach out if your season/method should be evaluated differently.
  • New settings toggle 'Threshold profile' (Standard | FiBL-strict) — Pro users can enable stricter winter thresholds (FiBL Treatment Concept 2023).
  • Dashboard, hive card and varroa overview now use unified thresholds — no more conflicting alerts across views.
