:ear_of_rice:1. Added chat @mention feature: In chat channels, tap on a message or tap and hold a Ruler’s avatar to @mention them in your reply. You will also receive notifications when other Rulers @mention you.

:ear_of_rice:2. New Insect Buddy “Lime Swallowtail” is now available!
① The Insect Buddy fragments in the original “Insect Buddy & Special Ant Fragment Offer” under the One Time Offer tab will be replaced with the newest Lime Swallowtail fragments.
② Later on, [Queen Swallowtail] Insect Buddy fragments can be purchased from the VIP Store on weekends.
③ The Selective Insect Buddy Fragment Chest in the Pack Shop → Time-Limited Offer points progress rewards will now include [Queen Swallowtail Fragments]. ※Note: Only the Selective Insect Buddy Fragment Chests claimed after the update will contain the newest Insect Buddy fragments. Fairy recommends that you claim the relevant tier rewards after the update.
④ Added Buddy Bond effects for Queen Swallowtail and the new Insect Buddy Lime Swallowtail. You can check the details in the Buddy Bond section of the Buddy Gallery.

:ear_of_rice:3. On servers where Season Sign-Up Periods have been opened before, when Ladybug Habitat reaches Lv.19, [Special Items] will be added to the [Others] category. Each time the store refreshes, you will have a chance to purchase items from this category.

:ear_of_rice:4. Added a function to recycle upgrade items for max-level buildings and an option to use excess fragments of some activated Skins:
① If a building is already at max level, the special items required for upgrading that building will no longer be displayed in Inventory → Store. Any remaining special items for upgrading that building (Rock, Toxic Mushroom, Refined Sand, Glimmery Leaf, etc.) in the Inventory will have a new recycling function: Tap on the corresponding item in the Inventory for Item Recycle.
② If you have already activated a specific Anthill Skin but still have excess fragments for that skin in your Inventory, they can be converted into Generic Skin Fragments.

:ear_of_rice:5. Added a new Insect Medal - Insect Heroes.
:ear_of_rice:6. Optimized the skill activation logic of Crematogaster Inflata’s 5th skill, “Master Mimic.”
