Prevention Settings: You can now decide whether or not you want to view preventions on the My Map screen. You can also choose how many preventions you would like to be displayed: 1, 5, 10, 20, etc.
Push Notifications Update: You can now receive push notifications with sound, regardless of whether the app is open or closed.

Preventions on My Map: Your five most recent preventions will be displayed as pins on the My Map screen. You can tap each prevention icon on your map to access additional info about them. This additional information will be displayed on the prevention card. You can swipe left and right on each card to scroll between each prevention.
Map Settings Card Redesign: This improved card has a friendlier UX/UI design. In addition, "show/hide fences on My Map" has been removed, to simplify map management.
Protection Zone and Warning Area:
When a fence is selected on My Map, two new areas are shown.
First, the “Warning Area” will appear inside your fence boundary while a fence is selected. Warning and Boundary Feedback will only occur while your dog is inside this area and is heading toward the boundary.
Second, the “Protection Zone” will appear beyond your fence boundary while a fence is selected. In the Protection Zone, your dog only receives Emergency Feedback while moving away from the boundary. When your dog stops moving OR heads home, Emergency Feedback stops and Encouragement Feedback begins. Beyond the Protection Zone, your dog’s Halo enters ‘Lost Mode’ and does not provide feedback.
A new tool tip, shown with a “(?)” icon, is also available on the Fence Card. When tapped, it will provide a reminder definition of both Warning Area and Protection Zone.

New "Warning Area" screen: an additional screen that displays the "warning area" for Halo Fences while creating or editing fences has been added. This is a representation of the "warning area", which is the area inside a Halo Fence which applies Warning Feedback and Boundary Feedback before dogs reach the fence boundary. The addition of this screen will help users visualize where the warning area is, to help clarify where dogs will begin receiving feedback. This will provide clearer context to explain how the Feedback system works within the Halo System.
New "Firmware Update" Icon: a new "firmware update" icon has been introduced under Settings→Collars in the app. When a firmware update is available, a Blue "update" icon will appear next to the image of any collars which are in need of the update in the Collars list. In addition, a matching icon will now appear in the expanded details, which helps direct attention to the "Collar Update" section in each collar's details. This new icon replaces the previous Red exclamation mark icon, which previously had no corresponding icon to direct attention to the issue. The older Red icon was confusing users because it appeared as though there was an unfixable error. This new icon update will improve clarity around the firmware update process for collars because it is a more relevant icon that does not look like an error. It is Step 1 of a 2-step improvement of this feature. Step 2 will include a future "Update" button that can be tapped to initiate a firmware update on command. Currently, Firmware updates occur automatically when a Halo Collar is a) plugged in to charge and b) connected to a stable WiFi connection.
"Indoor" GPS Update: Due to improvements in the indoor and outdoor calibration process, the "weak GPS" label has now been updated to say "indoor GPS" for improved clarity on each Pet Card.
