Changelog

Changed For Users

  • The app has been renamed from LogiQR to Codemark.
  • The app now uses the new Codemark logo, icons, app name, update names, export names, setup texts, and updater texts.
  • Codemark is now presented as an app by Qubik Studios.
  • The app header now shows the Codemark logo instead of a plain text title.
  • The logo adapts to light and dark themes.
  • The About/settings area now shows updated Codemark and publisher information.
  • The default example QR content is now Codemark.
  • The website button is disabled when no official website URL is configured.

Performance And Responsiveness

  • Codemark now uses C optimization for better runtime performance across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • QR previews are cached so repeated changes and window resizing feel smoother.
  • Preset thumbnails are cached and generated more efficiently.
  • Heavier export work runs in the background so the interface stays more responsive.
  • Visual effects and animations were adjusted to reduce unnecessary load in packaged app versions.
  • Background animations pause or reduce work when the app is minimized or moved.

QR Creation And Export

  • All QR content types from the first public beta remain available, including links, plain text, contacts, WiFi, e-mail, phone, SMS, and location data.
  • Logo handling is more flexible and scan-friendly.
  • Logos can use improved sizing, padding, background, rounded background, border width, and border color options.
  • Transparent logo edges are handled more cleanly.
  • PNG and SVG exports stay closer to the live preview.
  • Export now runs a QR self-test before writing risky output.
  • QR quality checks cover readability, contrast, quiet zone, rotation, reflection, degradation, and optional decoder validation when OpenCV and NumPy are available.
  • Auto-fix can apply safer QR settings after a failed scan test.

Presets And Session Recovery

  • Existing LogiQR presets and session data can be copied into the Codemark app directory on first run.
  • Autosave avoids unnecessary rewrites when nothing important changed.
  • Codemark can offer to restore the last autosaved custom preset after an unclean shutdown.
  • Older preference data is handled more tolerantly during the move to Codemark.

Updates

  • Update checks now use the Codemark app identity.
  • Codemark checks for updates silently after startup and through passive background checks.
  • When an update is available, the app shows an in-app update banner.
  • Repeated update checks are paused while an update is already available.
  • Downloaded updates are checksum-verified before installation.
  • Packaged Windows installations can hand off verified updates to the Codemark updater.

Setup And Updater

  • The setup wizard now uses Codemark wording throughout the install, update, repair, uninstall, and launch flow.
  • Setup verifies that both the main app and updater are installed correctly.
  • Setup validates downloaded packages before installation.
  • Setup now expects the install folder to be named Codemark.
  • Legacy LogiQR shortcuts can be cleaned up during uninstall.
  • The updater waits for the running app to close before replacing files.
  • The updater creates a backup before replacing the app executable and can restore it if replacement fails.
  • The updater can restart Codemark after a successful update.

Sponsor Slot

  • Sponsor content now uses the Codemark app identity.
  • Sponsor content can be selected from multiple available entries.
  • Sponsor data is cached so the app does not need to request the same content repeatedly.
  • Sponsor images are loaded more defensively and reused while cached data is valid.

Debug And Developer Notes

  • Development versions now use Codemark-branded debug output.
  • Debug tools remain disabled automatically in release-like packaged app versions.
  • A developer-only layout overlay was added for UI tuning.

Compatibility Notes

  • Existing LogiQR user data can be copied into the Codemark app directory on first run.
  • Legacy LogiQR folders are not deleted automatically.
  • Users moving from LogiQR should verify that presets and session data were copied correctly.
  • Exported QR codes should still be tested before production print use.
