Hemlock v2025.12.1 - Release Notes

Posted: December 1, 2025

Hi Hemlock Community!

Fall has come and gone, and as we face the upcoming cold weather, I want to share some news that will hopefully keep you excited, and prolong the inevitable cabin fever!

Firstly, I'm excited to announce the 2025.12.1 release. This will be our final release of the 2025 calendar year!

I want to introduce our new feature Field Notes! Field Notes are daily and weekly challenges you can complete to earn Nectar. These challenges all revolve around the things you're already doing throughout the app, and will hopefully help you get your boots out, coats on, and enjoying the upcoming winter.

This release also has a number of UX improvements, UI enhancements, and a ton of bug fixes. I hope you find this release to be more fun and stable than ever!

And if you do find any issues, please report them via the button in the Account page, or through our #help-with-bugs channel on Discord! We're also welcoming all feedback through our Discord in our #requests-and-feedback channel. We'd love to hear your ideas!

Lastly, over the last month we've seen an 8% increase in our specifies identification model! We've now reached 159 unique plant species.

I hope you have an amazing holiday season, and enjoy our new update!

Happy Exploring,

Jüri
