Changelog - QR Code - Joomla Extensions by Joomill

Custom Fields - QR Code plugin PRO - v6.1.3 5 6

1 September 2026

Security: the helper plugin for update logging is only installed when the update server supplies a valid checksum for it, and only from the Joomill update server
Fix: the PRO-only settings in the free version showed an upgrade badge with no text next to it. Joomla puts every field description behind the inline help toggle, which leaves the badge without the one sentence explaining what it unlocks. Those fields now render their own description, always visible
Language: the Spanish file is back at full string parity. The upgrade message shown above the form in the free version was missing and appeared as its raw language key

Custom Fields - QR Code plugin - v6.0.0 PRO 5 6

2 June 2026

Addition: Local QR generation: QR codes are now rendered in the browser using Joomla's built-in QR library.
Addition: Modernized the output markup (HTML5) and added an accessibility label to the QR code.
Addition: Module shape: choose how the QR modules are drawn — square, rounded, or dots.
Addition: Download buttons: optionally show PNG and/or SVG download buttons below the QR code. Files are generated entirely in the browser.
Addition: Download size: set a separate pixel size for the downloaded image, independent of the displayed size (leave empty to match the display size).
Change: QR codes are now output as scalable SVG
Security: Fixed a cross-site scripting (XSS) issue where the field value was written into the output without escaping.
Fix: Field values containing non-ASCII characters (accents, emoji, etc.) now encode correctly into the QR code.
Remove: The plugin no longer sends the field value to the external api.qrserver.com service, so no data leaves your site.
