Changelog
Library 3.0.0 — October 2026
The JavaScript library and the online generator now use the add-on's own encoder.
- QR codes are drawn locally. Versions 2.x used quickchart.io (and 1.x Google Charts), so the text went to a third party.
- New API:
render,toSVG,toDataURL,matrix,download,payload.*anddata-qrcodeattributes; works in Node. - Styles, gradients, logo, caption. The old
qrgchartfunctions still work.
Add-on 2.0.0 — October 2026
