### Enhancements

- **Fixed the worklist error message: **In the last release, PCC sometimes displayed an inaccurate error message if you opened and closed a hospital or vet list without selecting any animals. Now, PCC only displays the message if animals are actually queued on the hospital or vet list. If you receive the error message, review the queued animals, complete the treatment, and mark them as **Done**. (PCC-1859)
- **Improved backup file handling: **You can now save a backup file directly on your device, so you can easily share the files with Support for troubleshooting. Simply go to **Home** and select **Make PCC Folder Backup for Support** to save the backup to your Downloads folder. Additionally, backup files now store data for 21 days instead of 45 days to make it easier to transfer files. (PCC-1272, PCC-1846)
- **New reminder to reboot device:** If a device has been running for seven days without restarting, PCC will now remind you to reboot. Restarting regularly helps make sure data is saved correctly and PCC runs at its peak performance level. (PCC-1804)
- **Better pairing on Zebra devices: **Zebra devices should now connect more smoothly, without repeatedly asking for location permissions during pairing. (PCC-1714)
- **Invalid pen warning: **If you try to enter a pen that does not exist in DairyComp during CowCard or Simple Batch entry, PCC now displays an "Invalid Pen" warning. (PCC-1833, PCC-1837)
- **Hospital list updates:**
  - **Clear out queued animals faster.** If you end up with a long list of animals you no longer need in the hospital queue, you can now clear them all at once using a trash can button in the upper right corner. (PCC-1812)

**Complete events for animals that aren't on the hospital list yet.** Now, you can enter an event and mark an animal as **Done** if it's in the hospital pen, but not on the hospital list. This helps if sick animals are moved overnight and added to the list in the morning so its original pen can be recorded. To enable this, you must go to **Administration** > **Settings** and check the boxes next to **Show Hospital Form** and **Add Done Entries to the Done Panel**. Use caution if you enable this if any OnDone commands are applied to the hospital list. (PCC-1801)

**Multi-site treatment protocols must be applied to hospital pens. **If you use a multi-site treatment protocol, you must now select a hospital pen, which makes it harder to send an animal to the wrong pen. (PCC-1791)

**Hospital list settings are now listed together. **Updated the **Settings** page, so you can access all the hospital list features in one convenient location without scrolling back and forth. (PCC-1801)
:::

- **Fixed permissions behavior:** Resolved an Android 13 (or higher) permissions issue by removing a deprecated library and consolidating permissions to restore normal notification behavior. (PCC-1505)
- **Analytics now measure PCC feature performance: **Added Google Analytics to track the performance of the Breeding Grid. (PCC-1771)

### Bugs

- **PIN refresh fix:** Fixed an issue that could prevent transactions from sending if a PIN code was missing or changed between refreshes. (PCC-1372)
- **Improved app performance: **Resolved several crash or memory limitation issues to improve app stability. (PCC-1472, PCC-1810, PCC-1778, PCC-1800)
- **Dollar display fix: **Corrected spacing when displaying dollar values for Item Type #42 (CVAL4). (PCC-1723)
- **Large herd data transaction fix: **We fixed a problem that caused the app to freeze when sending large amounts of herd data. If a data set is too large, PCC now sends the data in smaller increments. (PCC-1856, PCC-1847)
- **Improved hospital list performance: **Implemented numerous hospital list fixes to improve its reliability. (PCC-1516)
- **FRESH event date entry fix: **We fixed the backdating of FRESH event dates, so you can set a different date than today's date. (PCC-1852)
