Change log
==========

Version 5.3
===========

* Fix incomplete block table for QR version 15. Thanks Rodrigo Queiro for the
  report and Jacob Welsh for the investigation and fix.

* Avoid unnecessary dependency for non MS platforms, thanks to Noah Vesely.

* Make ``BaseImage.get_image()`` actually work.


Version 5.2
===========

* Add ``--error-correction`` option to qr script.

* Fix script piping to stdout in Python 3 and reading non-UTF-8 characters in
  Python 3.

* Fix script piping in Windows.

* Add some useful behind-the-curtain methods for tinkerers.

* Fix terminal output when using Python 2.6

* Fix terminal output to display correctly on MS command line.

Version 5.2.1
-------------

* Small fix to terminal output in Python 3 (and fix tests)

Version 5.2.2
-------------

* Revert some terminal changes from 5.2 that broke Python 3's real life tty
  code generation and introduce a better way from Jacob Welsh.


Version 5.1
===========

* Make ``qr`` script work in Windows. Thanks Ionel Cristian Mărieș

* Fixed print_ascii function in Python 3.

* Out-of-bounds code version numbers are handled more consistently with a
  ValueError.

* Much better test coverage (now only officially supporting Python 2.6+)


Version 5.0
===========

* Speed optimizations.

* Change the output when using the ``qr`` script to use ASCII rather than
  just colors, better using the terminal real estate.

* Fix a bug in passing bytecode data directly when in Python 3.

* Substation speed optimizations to best-fit algorithm (thanks Jacob Welsh!).

* Introduce a ``print_ascii`` method and use it as the default for the ``qr``
  script rather than ``print_tty``.

Version 5.0.1
-------------

* Update version numbers correctly.


Version 4.0
===========

* Made qrcode work on Python 2.4 - Thanks tcely.
  Note: officially, qrcode only supports 2.5+.

* Support pure-python PNG generation (via pymaging) for Python 2.6+ -- thanks
  Adam Wisniewski!

* SVG image generation now supports alternate sizing (the default box size of
  10 == 1mm per rectangle).

* SVG path image generation allows cleaner SVG output by combining all QR rects
  into a single path. Thank you, Viktor Stískala.

* Added some extra simple SVG factories that fill the background white.

Version 4.0.1
-------------

* Fix the pymaging backend not able to save the image to a buffer. Thanks ilj!

Version 4.0.2
-------------

* Fix incorrect regex causing a comma to be considered part of the alphanumeric
  set.

* Switch to using setuptools for setup.py.

Version 4.0.3
-------------

* Fix bad QR code generation due to the regex comma fix in version 4.0.2.

Version 4.0.4
-------------

* Bad version number for previous hotfix release.


Version 3.1
===========

* Important fixes for incorrect matches of the alpha-numeric encoding mode.
  Previously, the pattern would match if a single line was alpha-numeric only
  (even if others wern't). Also, the two characters ``{`` and ``}`` had snuck
  in as valid characters. Thanks to Eran Tromer for the report and fix.

* Optimized chunking -- if the parts of the data stream can be encoded more
  efficiently, the data will be split into chunks of the most efficient modes.

Version 3.1.1
-------------

* Update change log to contain version 3.1 changes. :P

* Give the ``qr`` script an ``--optimize`` argument to control the chunk
  optimization setting.


Version 3.0
===========

* Python 3 support.

* Add QRCode.get_matrix, an easy way to get the matrix array of a QR code
  including the border. Thanks Hugh Rawlinson.

* Add in a workaround so that Python 2.6 users can use SVG generation (they
  must install ``lxml``).

* Some initial tests! And tox support (``pip install tox``) for testing across
  Python platforms.


Version 2.7
===========

* Fix incorrect termination padding.


Version 2.6
===========

* Fix the first four columns incorrectly shifted by one. Thanks to Josep
  Gómez-Suay for the report and fix.

* Fix strings within 4 bits of the QR version limit being incorrectly
  terminated. Thanks to zhjie231 for the report.


Version 2.5
===========

* The PilImage wrapper is more transparent - you can use any methods or
  attributes available to the underlying PIL Image instance.

* Fixed the first column of the QR Code coming up empty! Thanks to BecoKo.

Version 2.5.1
-------------

* Fix installation error on Windows.


Version 2.4
===========

* Use a pluggable backend system for generating images, thanks to Branko Čibej!
  Comes with PIL and SVG backends built in.

Version 2.4.1
-------------

* Fix a packaging issue

Version 2.4.2
-------------

* Added a ``show`` method to the PIL image wrapper so the ``run_example``
  function actually works.


Version 2.3
===========

* When adding data, auto-select the more efficient encoding methods for numbers
  and alphanumeric data (KANJI still not supported).

Version 2.3.1
-------------

* Encode unicode to utf-8 bytestrings when adding data to a QRCode.


Version 2.2
===========

* Fixed tty output to work on both white and black backgrounds.

* Added `border` parameter to allow customizing of the number of boxes used to
  create the border of the QR code


Version 2.1
===========

* Added a ``qr`` script which can be used to output a qr code to the tty using
  background colors, or to a file via a pipe.
