June 9 Update

New

  • Photo pedigree scanner — snap a photo of a paper pedigree and HARES reads the rabbit + ancestors into your herd to review.
  • Settings page — default weight unit + which columns (and order) show on My Herd.
  • Custom cage cards — orientation, fields, per-page, and a QR code.
  • Pedigree branding — your rabbitry logo + accent color on pedigrees.
  • Dark / Light / Auto mode — top-right of any page.
  • Pre-show Leg Check — see which awards will earn an ARBA leg before the show.
  • Breed & Variety Breakdown — printable, per species, with animal + exhibitor counts.
  • Wool/Fur class — now on both the portal entry form and the herd "Submit to a Show" form.
  • "Other (write-in)" variety — enter a color that isn't in the list.
  • Late-fee deadline now takes a specific time, not just a date (secretaries).

Improved

  • Class names spelled out ("Senior Buck," not "SB").
  • Fees report: compact by default + an "Itemized view" toggle.
  • Confirmation emails list animals in show order.
  • CSV imports handle Excel-saved files better.

Fixed

  • Lionhead sweepstakes points now calculate correctly.
  • Superintendent print buttons work for superintendents.
  • Writer's "Save & check" jumps straight to any error.
  • Write-in varieties that differ only by capitalization no longer split onto two judging sheets (secretaries).
  • Portal "Enter for someone else" now picks the right exhibitor when you manage several.
  • Sharing a pedigree no longer errors.
