Summary (AI)

Patch 1.0.28 introduces proactive save backups that rotate to protect your progress in case of mid-save interruptions. A new debug command allows retroactive photo development to recover stars and money, though it won't restore upgrades or scrapbook assembly. The ban player button now includes a confirmation dialog, and a fix addresses duplicate host issues. Whistles are now controlled by the general SFX volume, and several quality-of-life updates improve guidebook and pose tracking along with bird name formatting for better readability on various devices.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Proactive Save Backups: The game now makes rotating backups of your save data, so if you lose power or something while the game is mid-save, you should still have a backup to fallback on.
Retroactive Save Backups: There is now a debug command [c]redevelopallphotos[/c] that will read every photo you've ever taken and instantly runs it through the develop-o-tron. This will recover a good chunk of lost save data, it won't re-buy your upgrades or re-assemble your scrapbook, but it should return your stars and money you've earned.
Clicking the button to ban a Player now has a confirmation dialogue
Whistles are now affected by "SFX Volume" (was considered a "Bird SFX" before)
"Show Completed Poses" upgrade changes the color of a square if it's 3-starred, just so you can tell at a glance what poses aren't 3-starred.
Develop-o-tron shows you the previous stars for all poses, not just the pose you're currently looking at.
