- Added the ability to view and cancel transactions from Pocket CowCard to DairyComp: When you send transactions from Pocket CowCard to DairyComp, you can now view the transaction progress and cancel the process instead of completely restarting your Pocket CowCard device. For example, if the transfer is taking longer than usual, you can cancel the transaction without losing any data. You can then diagnose and fix any connection issues before sending the data to DairyComp. Pocket CowCard-1503, Pocket CowCard-1520)

- Fixed several issues related to the FRESH event: We resolved multiple FRESH event-related issues.
