(optional) (Thanks to @misery) -* Various bug fixes. -* Various performance improvements. - -Release Note: -While the API has not been changed since the previous major release, we -incremented the major version number of libqrencode to 4 because the -implementation of the library has been largely changed. - -This release improves the performance and memory footprints of code generation. - -Now you can build libqrencode with CMake. - -If you build the test programs, please note that the required SDL version has -been changed from 1.2 to 2.0. - - -Version 3.4.4 (2014.7.24) -------------------------- -* Bug fix release. (Thanks to Yoshimichi Inoue) -* New option "--verbose" has been added to the command line tool. - -Release Note: -When only one symbol is generated in structured-append mode, the library had -inserted unnecessary chunk to the symbol and some QR Code readers fail to read -it. Now the library omits the chunk and generate a symbol identical to non- -structured symbol. - - -Version 3.4.3 (2013.8.12) -------------------------- -* New option "--rle" has been added to the command line tool (Thanks to Daniel - Dörrhöfer) -* Bug fixes. (Thanks to Hassan Hajji, Emmanuel Blot, and ßlúèÇhîp) - -Release Note: -This release contains a couple of bug fixes and a new minor feature of the -command line tool. Some minor bugs in the library have been fixed. - -Run Length Encoding (RLE) for SVG output decreases the size of the output file, -but it makes complicated to edit the image by SVG editors. A newly introduced -command line option "--rle" enables RLE. RLE will not be applied if it is not -given. - - -Version 3.4.2 (2013.3.1) ------------------------- -* Bug fix release.

If your application uses -libqrencode in multithreaded environment, it is strongly recommended to update -it. - - -Version 3.4.0 (2012.10.15) --------------------------- -* SVG, UTF8, and ANSIUTF8 output supports have been added to the command line - tool. (Thanks to Dan Storm, David Dahl, and Lennart Poettering) -* Colored QR Code support. -* Bug fixes. (Thanks to Terry Burton, Fred Steinhaeuser, and Yann Droneaud) - -Release Note: -Three new output format, SVG, UTF8, and ANSIUTF8 have been added to the command -line tool. UTF8 and ANSIUTF8 are another text art mode, using Unicode block -elements for high-resolution text output. Long-awaited colored QR code has been -introduced. Try "--foreground" and "--background" options to set the colors. -Currently PNG and SVG supports colored output. - - -Version 3.3.1 (2012.4.18) -------------------------- -* Bugs in command line tool, manual, configure script, and libtool files have - been fixed.

ANSI and ASCII mode ignore "-size" option. Give "-t ASCIIi" -to get an ASCII-mode symbol in inverted color. - -QRcode_APIVersion() is requested by Matthew Baker for better support of Python -ctypes binding. Check them out at https://code.google.com/p/libqrencode-ctypes/ - - -Version 3.2.1 (2012.4.1) ------------------------- -* Bugs in configure script and libtool file has been fixed. (Thanks to Yutaka - Niibe) - - -Version 3.2.0 (2011.11.26) --------------------------- -* "--dpi" (or "-d") option has been added to qrencode. This option set DPI - information in an output PNG image. (Thanks to David Dahl) -* New option "--enable-thread-safety" has been added to the configure script - that makes the library thread-safe. It is enabled by default. -* QRcode_encodeData(), QRcode_encodeDataMQR, QRcode_encodeDataStructured() have - been added for binary data encoding including '\0'. -* Typo and bug fixes. -* Experimental Micro QR Code support has been added. -* "--micro" (or "-M") option for Micro QR Code has been added to qrencode. - (experimental) - -Release Note: -Binary data including '\0' is now supported. To encode a binary data, give "-8" -option to qrencode, and let qrencode obtain data via standard input like -"qrencode -8 -o output.png < binary". "--dpi" and "-d" are also added to embed -DPI information to PNG file. - -A bug in the mask pattern evaluation routine has been fixed. In some cases, -libqrencode may generate a different symbol from the one that was generated by -the prior libqrencode because of this bug fix, but the embedded data are not -affected. The symbols generated by the old libqrencode are valid. - -Experimental support of Micro QR Code encoder has been added. Some functions -(QRcode_*MQR()) have been added to the library. The command line tool generates -Micro QR Code when "--micro" or "-M" is given. - - -Version 3.1.1 (2010.2.3) ------------------------- -* A bug in the library has been fixed. - -Release Note: -Libqrecode had generated incorrect QR Code in some cases. Symbols larger than -version 5 (error correction level Q and H) were affected. In many cases this -bug did not cause serious damage thanks to the error correction mechanism, but -we highly recommend you to encode symbols again using this release. - - -Version 3.1.0 (2009.6.6) ------------------------- -* Various code cleanups and performance improves. -* Strict internal error checks have been added. -* "--without-tests" has become default setting. Specify "--with-tests" to - compile test programs. -* Some memory leak bugs have been fixed. - -Release Note: -This release focuses on the code cleanup and performance improve. Encoding time -has been improved, drastically in large symbols. Basically this update only -changes its internal code. The API is not changed, no need to recompile user -applications that includes only qrencode.h. If your application refers the -internal data representation (not recommended), see ChangeLog for further -information. - - -Version 3.0.3 (2008.6.1) ------------------------- -* Portability enhancement. (Thanks to Gavan Fantom) -* The command line tool "qrencode" now accepts long options. See the man page - for the detailed instruction. - -Release Note: -This release improves the portability of our command line tool "qrencode". -The library is not changed so that any applications using libqrencode are not -affected. - -From this release, qrencode accepts "long" options, such as "--help". See the -manpage for the detailed instructions. - -Qrencode now uses getopt_long() instead of getopt_long_only() which is not -available in some operating systems. If the getopt_long() is not provided or -the implementation of it is not compatible with GNU's one, please try -qrencode-3.0.3-gnulib, that contains the source code of the getopt_long(). -Gnulib version is a test release. If you feel happy with it, please let us know -and the future releases will include gnulib. - - -Version 3.0.2 (2008.5.18) -------------------------- -* Some compile-time warnings/errors with g++ have been fixed. - (Thanks to wangsai) -* The bit order of "Version information" has been corrected. - Symbols greater than version 6 were affected. (Thanks to Paul Janssesn) -* The "--without-tests" option has been added to the configure script. - - -Version 3.0.1 (2008.5.9) ------------------------- -* A bug fix for non-POSIX platform. (Thanks to Paul Janssens) -* The RPM spec file now packages the man page correctly. - - -Version 3.0.0 (2008.4.30) -------------------------- -* The interface of QRencode_encodeInput() has been changed. User applications - using it must be modified. -* Structured append support has been added. (patches from Yusuke Mihara) -* The "-S" option for structured append has been added to qrencode and - view_qrcode. -* Some functions now set errno to indicate errors. -* Some bug fixes. - -Release Note: -Now libqrencode supports "structured-append" of symbols. A large data set can -be split into multiple QR code symbols. The basic usage of structured-append -is not so different from the single symbol encoding: just call -QRcode_encodeStringStructured() or QRcode_encodeString8bitStructured() and -they return a list of symbols. Instead of giving a string, you can encode -an explicitly typed data. See the manual generated by Doxygen for the detailed -usage. - -Many thanks to Yusuke Mihara, who contributed a patch to add support of -structured-append to version 1.0.2. - -API changes: - -* Incompatible API changes: - - QRencode_encodeInput -* New types: - - QRinput_Struct - - QRcode_List -* New functions: - - QRinput_new2 - - QRinput_Struct_new - - QRinput_Struct_setParity - - QRinput_Struct_appendInput - - QRinput_Struct_free - - QRinput_Struct_insertStructuredAppendHeaders - - QRinput_splitQRinputToStruct - - QRcode_encodeStructuredInput - - QRcode_encodeStringStructured - - QRcode_encodeString8bitStructured - - QRcode_List_size - - QRcode_List_free -* Declarations moved to qrencode.h: - - QRinput_getErrorCorrectionLevel - - QRinput_setErrorCorrectionLevel - - QRinput_getVersion - - QRinput_setVersion - - -Version 2.0.0 (2008.1.24) -------------------------- -* "-i" option to ignore case distinctions has been added to qrencode and - view_qrcode. -* "-c" option (case-sensitive mode) of qrencode is now enabled by default and - has been improved. See details in Release Note section. -* "-8" option has been added to qrencode to encode whole data in 8-bit mode. -* tests/view_qrcode now accepts various options like qrencode. -* Man page has been added. -* Code cleanup. -* The mask evaluation bug has been fixed. (Philippe Delcroix) - -* API changes - - QRcode_encodeString() now receives case-sensitive flag. - - QRcode_encodeStringCase() has been removed. - - QRcode_encodeString8bit() has been added. - -Release Note: -Previously libqrencode encodes lower-case alphabet characters in Alphabet- -Numeric mode (upper-case alphabet and numeric) by default. According to the -specification of QR code, however, it is clearly claimed that Alphabet-Numeric -mode provides only upper-case alphabet (+ numeric and some symbol) characters. -Since this version, libqrencode distinguishes lower-case and upper-case of -alphabet characters by default. Because of that, "-c" option of qrencode -is now deprecated, and "-i" option has been added. By giving "-i", qrencode -converts lower-case characters to upper-case if possible, then encode a QR code -symbol. Please read qrencode.h for the details about API changes if you are -going to use this library. - -Many thanks to NANKI Haruo for his suggestions. - - -Version 1.0.2 (2007.03.24) --------------------------- -* A small bug fix. (Thanks to NANKI Haruo) -* 'extern "C"' barrier has been added to qrencode.h. - - -Version 1.0.1 (2006.12.27) --------------------------- -* Added "force 8-bit encoding mode". -* Configure script finds libpng's header correctly. - - -Version 1.0.0 (2006.12.12) --------------------------- -* The first public release. |
