What's New

  • OLED Mode: Added a true-black display option for dark mode.
    • Light Mode Handling: OLED Mode is hidden or disabled when Light Mode is active.
  • Phosphor Icons: Replaced the app icon set with Phosphor icons.
    • Filled Selected Icons: Bottom bar and selected UI states use filled icons.

Improvements & Fixes

  • Improved core chemistry calculations.
    • Better support for groups, hydrates, brackets, charges, subscripts, and superscripts.
    • Fixed oxyhalogen cases such as HOCl and improved peroxide, superoxide, hydride, ozonide, and mixed-valence handling.
    • Molar mass, reaction balancing, pH/pOH, and oxidation tools use shared chemistry modules.
  • Fixed release display support for OLED Mode across Tools, Library, and database cards.
  • Improved selected and unselected icon behavior across the bottom bar.
  • Improved fallback structure status labels and source confidence handling.
  • Improved AI description prompts with compound properties, identifiers, safety data, and source context.
  • Improved pH/pOH tool copy with the 25 C and pKw = 14.00 assumption.
  • Cleaned up developer settings by removing the diagnostic dashboard layout.
  • Added research notes for source reliability, app audit items, and implementation backlog.
  • Added clearer source handling for generated structures, safety fields, offline data, and AI description context.
  • Updated network checks for PubChem, Wikipedia, NCI/CADD, GitHub releases, and AI providers.
  • Expanded FAQ entries and cleaned up the Settings layout.
  • Fixed the small notification icon so it uses the ChemSearch icon.
  • Improved screen transitions, selected states, and small UI animations.

Technical Changes

  • Added Phosphor icon dependency and a shared app icon wrapper.
  • Added a dedicated notification status icon resource.
  • Added source metadata, structure status, GHS safety, offline download metadata, and AI prompt builder modules.
  • Added chemistry fixtures and unit tests for formula parsing, molar mass, oxidation states, reaction balancing, pH/pOH, safety enrichment, network diagnostics, theme behavior, and icon behavior.
