LATEST UPDATE

Version 2.0.8 streamlines invoice entry

The invoice builder now loads saved invoices safely and presents a more compact, clearly grouped editor for field hours, consumables and client billing.
AVAILABLE NOW11 August 2026
v2.0.8
01

Reliable saved-invoice loading

Validated invoice results are now retained before the editor updates, removing the invoice loading type error without changing stored data.

02

Smaller description field

Each line now uses a compact short-description box with a clear 180-character limit, allowing the full line editor to fit more comfortably on an iPad.

03

Clearer invoice sections

Invoice details and client billing fields have distinct headings, reduced spacing and a cleaner visual order.

04

Expandable business details

ABN, contact, payment instructions and notes are grouped into an expandable section so totals and day-to-day invoice lines stay easy to scan.

11 August 20262.0.7Version 2.0.7 adds operator-controlled round detectionVersion 2.0.7 · Round counter tuningOPEN

Operators can now select a target microphone volume and manually tune detection sensitivity from 0 to 100 for the vehicle and field environment.

Version 2.0.7Rounds Used CounterTarget volumeManual sensitivity
Selectable target volume

Choose Loud, Very Loud or Extreme Impulse to set the minimum relative iPad microphone level expected from a valid round event.

Manual 0–100 sensitivity

Move left for fewer false counts or right to detect softer impulses. The change applies while the microphone is listening and saves with the session.

Visible trigger marker

The live sound meter now displays the active trigger line, making it easier to compare background noise with the configured detection point.

Safer default target

New sessions start at Very Loud with 40% sensitivity, while older Low, Medium and High settings are converted automatically.

11 August 20262.0.6Version 2.0.6 returns operators to the field widget after savingVersion 2.0.6 · Save-and-return field flowOPEN

Saving a new fox, wild dog or cat record now closes the details popup and immediately restores the expanded floating field widget.

Version 2.0.6Save animalFloating widgetField workflow
Automatic return to the widget

After a new animal record saves successfully, the expanded field console reopens automatically so the operator can continue capturing positions.

Save and add another remains ready

Save & Add Another also returns to the expanded widget and retains map-pin mode when the previous animal was placed from the map.

Record editing remains separate

Saving changes to an existing historical record closes the editor without forcing the field widget open.

11 August 20262.0.5Version 2.0.5 repairs Home Screen session entryVersion 2.0.5 · Installed iPad keyboard repairOPEN

The Start Session popup now uses a standalone-safe body layer and direct native form controls so Property, Area and Operator accept typing from an iPad Home Screen installation.

Version 2.0.5Home Screen appStart SessioniPad keyboard
Standalone-safe popup layer

The widget opens Start Session directly above the whole app instead of relying on Safari's dialog implementation inside the live field page.

Native uncontrolled text fields

Property, Area/Paddock and Operator are now owned by the iPad keyboard until Start Session is submitted, preventing live timer renders from resetting typed text.

Form values read only on submit

The app reads the completed native form in one step when Start Session is pressed, while preserving all required-field checks and existing session behaviour.

Installed-app shell refreshed

A new offline shell version ensures the corrected Home Screen interface replaces the previous cached form on the next online reopen.

11 August 20262.0.4Version 2.0.4 repairs Start Session entry from the widgetVersion 2.0.4 · Widget session-dialog repairOPEN

Starting a session from the floating console now opens an iPad-native top-layer dialog whose Property, Area and Operator fields use direct input events.

Version 2.0.4Start SessionFloating widgetiPad keyboard
Native top-layer session dialog

The Start Session popup now uses the browser's native modal layer, keeping its fields completely separate from Google Maps and the floating console.

Native text input events

Property, Area/Paddock and Operator update from Safari's direct input event so each typed character remains visible in the controlled form.

Custom focus interception removed

The previous pointer-down focus helper has been removed so a normal iPad tap opens the on-screen keyboard through Safari's standard field behaviour.

Keyboard-friendly field controls

Session fields use 16-pixel text, native next/done keyboard actions and explicit names for reliable iPad form entry.

11 August 20262.0.3Version 2.0.3 removes the iPad keyboard blockerVersion 2.0.3 · Direct text-entry repairOPEN

The floating map console is now removed from the touch layer whenever a form is open, editable fields receive direct Safari focus and safe installed-app updates activate automatically.

Version 2.0.3iPad keyboardTouch focusAutomatic update
No map layer behind forms

The floating console is completely unmounted while session, animal-detail or close-out dialogs are open, preventing Safari from routing taps to the hybrid map layer.

Direct editable-field focus

A touch on an editable input, text area or menu now focuses that exact control through the original user gesture without cancelling the keyboard event.

Console starts collapsed

The field page opens unobstructed for data entry. Operators can still expand the full-screen console from its clearly outlined floating control.

Safe updates install automatically

When no session or pending backup blocks a reload, a waiting Home Screen update activates automatically instead of leaving the repaired interface behind an Update now step.

11 August 20262.0.2Version 2.0.2 restores reliable iPad field entryVersion 2.0.2 · iPad text-entry repairOPEN

Every field text box can receive touch and keyboard input again, while form dialogs now take exclusive control above the floating field console.

Version 2.0.2iPadText entryCompass
Text fields accept touch input

Editable fields use iPad-safe text sizing and touch handling so Safari can focus the field and open the keyboard without unwanted page zoom.

Dialogs stay above the field console

Starting a session or opening animal details collapses the console and makes its background layer inert until the form closes.

Compass permission is explicit

Motion and Orientation permission is requested only from the Enable Compass button, never from a tap intended for a text box.

Installed-app cache refreshed

The Home Screen app receives a new offline shell so all users can install the repaired interface through Update now or a clean reopen.

11 August 20262.0.1Version 2.0.1 adds verified Stripe diagnosticsVersion 2.0.1 · Verified Stripe healthOPEN

System Health now performs a protected, read-only connection test against Stripe and identifies the exact key, webhook, price, mode or billing-interval problem without exposing protected values.

Version 2.0.1StripeSystem HealthOwner diagnostics
Real server-side Stripe test

The Owner health check now verifies that Stripe accepts the configured API key before reporting checkout as ready.

Every paid price verified

Basic and Pro monthly and annual prices are checked for account ownership, live mode, active status, recurring type and the correct month or year interval.

Precise repair guidance

A failed check now names the exact missing or invalid setting instead of showing a general configuration warning.

Protected by design

Only organisation Owners can run the diagnostic, and API keys, webhook secrets, account details and price values never leave the server or enter the support report.

11 August 20262.0.0Version 2.0.0 establishes the commercial-ready release lineVersion 2.0.0 · Commercial foundationOPEN

Fox GPS now uses clear semantic version numbers, beginning with 2.0.0, while retaining the Stripe configuration repair and full field, reporting, team and invoicing platform.

Version 2.0.0SubscriptionsStripeAll plans
Clear version numbering

Future maintenance fixes use 2.0.x, feature releases use 2.x.0 and the next major platform generation will use 3.0.0. Earlier history keeps its original dated release identifiers.

Reliable hosted settings

Checkout, billing portal and webhook services now resolve Stripe settings from the active Worker binding or its secure runtime environment fallback.

Accurate System Health result

The account and billing check can correctly recognise securely stored Stripe secrets after a production configuration update.

No secret exposure

Protected Stripe values remain server-side and are never returned to the browser or included in diagnostic reports.

11 August 20262026.08.11-invoice-builderRelease 62 adds farm invoicing from recorded field workPro Invoice BuilderOPEN

Client-ready PDF and CSV

11 August 20262026.08.11-launch-readinessRelease 61 makes field work safer, recoverable and client-verifiableLaunch readiness & verified reportsOPEN

The chosen collapsed position is remembered on the device for that signed-in operator.

Quick reset and keyboard control

Invited farmers and landowners can now mark pest activity with onboard GPS, observation details and a photo without seeing the operator’s field records.

ProProperty GPSLandowner accessGoogle hybrid map
Property-scoped invitation links

Owners and Supervisors can issue a seven-day email-bound link for one named property; landowner access does not consume a team seat.

Onboard GPS sighting capture

The new landowner portal records species, count, time, GPS accuracy, priority, location detail, observation notes and an optional photo.

Shared operator intelligence map

New property marks appear on a numbered Google hybrid map where the field team can filter, review, assign and record follow-up notes.

Separated operational records

A landowner can only see sightings for an authorised property and cannot open field sessions, control outcomes, reports, team settings or billing.

10 August 20262026.08.10-field-consoleA larger live field console built around the mapFull-screen field consoleOPEN

The floating widget became a near-full-screen iPad console with more map space and the essential controls kept within reach.

Field consoleCompassWeatherGPS odometer
Raised floating bezel

The console fills the working area while retaining a visible edge so the operator can see that the main app remains underneath.

Always-ready compass

A detailed horizontal bearing tape and expanded north, south, east and west wind references remain available in the field view.

Live session controls

Start, stop, timer, recorded-vermin count, session kilometres and key field triggers are available directly from the console.

More usable map area

The lower information boxes were reduced and map controls were reorganised to keep the hybrid map as the main focus.
