Changelog

Add

• Supports chaining EFQRCodeGenerator configuration methods.
• EFQRCodeGenerator properties are now public.
• EFQRCodeGenerator.clearCache can be used to free up memories used for caching results.
• English documentation is now available through Xcode quick help.
• Swift: EFWatermarkMode.rectForWatermark(ofSize:inCanvasOfSize:) can be used to calculate the frame for watermark image in a canvas.
• Objective-C: New tests to ensure APIs are available in Objective-C.

Change

• Renamed EFQRCodeGenerator configuration methods to be more consistent.
  • Renamed EFQRCode and reordered convenience generate function arguments to be consistent with generator methods.
• EFQRCodeGenerator now caches more generated contents to improve performance.

• Renamed CGColor extensions white and black to omit first argument label.
• Objective-C: EFQRCodeGenerator and EFQRCodeRecognizer is now fully available to configure/use in Objective-C.

Release Notes from v6.0.0

Add

• Add support to compile for macOS 10.10 using CocoaPods.

Change

• QRCodeSwift (FKA swift_qrcodejs) is now conditional dependency with Swift Package Manager 5.3+.

Remove

• Drop iOS 8 support from CocoaPods with Xcode 12 #101;
• Remove Core and watchOS subspecs #100.
  • Please integrate EFQRCode directly instead of using subspecs.
  • QRCodeSwift should still be a conditional dependency for watchOS only.

What happened to semantic versioning?

Yes, I should have named release 6.0.0 as 6.0.0-rc.1, but I guess it's too late now :P
