About This Update

This update includes major improvements including database file structure changes which will dramatically improve performance. Note: the first time you launch Cook'n after installing this update, it will migrate your data from the old format to the new which will take a few minutes. Please be patient during this process. Once this is complete, you will notice a dramatic performance improvement the next time.

This version is Cook'n Cloud capable. However, the feature is temporarily disabled. Since so many major changes are taking place at once, we decided to take a multi-step migration process. But, we will enable this in a week or so...once everyone has updated to this version.

Here is a more detailed list of the improvements:
