The current short form QR codes generates unnecessarily many data modules reducing printability on low resolution label printers. Replacing the web+spoolman:s- prefix with WEB+SPOOLMAN:S- automatically lets the QR code be encodes as Alphanumerical reducing the module count.

The change also makes the QR code scanner match case insensitive to work with new uppercase and old lowercase QR codes as well as the long format with the full URL, so the change is backwards compatible. To further improve printability the error correction level needs to be either configurable or left at "H" for QR codes with icon and reduced to "Q" for QR codes without icons.

…odingm and make QR code scanner case insensitive

##### [\`0.23.0\`](https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman/releases/tag/v0.23.0)

New year new update!

Spoolman development has slowed down considerably last year, due to multiple personal reasons from my side. Here is an update with all the things that have accumulated over the last months. Most of the updates are from contributions from the community, many thanks!

There's been many significant dependency version updates in this update. Please report any new issues you find. If anything is breaking your ability to use it, it's safe to go back to the previous version (22.1) until it has been addressed.

##### What's Changed

- Improved standalone install script. It now automatically downloads and installs the best Python version for you. This means Spoolman should now support a lot more distributions, and you don't need to fix any Python versions or other packages beforehand!
- Spoolman docker images are now officially published on [dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/donkieyo/spoolman)!
- Spoolman now uses uv instead of pdm for backend package management.
- Updated all backend and client packages to their latest versions.
- Spoolman now requires at least Python 3.10, and defaults to Python 3.14 in both Docker and Standalone installation methods.
- Added adjust spool button by [@htsachakis](https://github.com/htsachakis) in [#626](Donkie/Spoolman#626)
- 🔨 Add pool\_recycle for MySQL by [@sinclairpaul](https://github.com/sinclairpaul) in [#668](Donkie/Spoolman#668)
- Add Measured Weight option to the filament adjustment modal  by [@spyder007](https://github.com/spyder007) in [#660](Donkie/Spoolman#660)
- Remade translation into Brazilian Portuguese by [@opastorello](https://github.com/opastorello) in [#694](Donkie/Spoolman#694)
- Add SPOOLMAN\_CORS\_ORIGIN variable by [@ecarjat](https://github.com/ecarjat) in [#605](Donkie/Spoolman#605)
- Add Spoolcount in Locations Page by [@JakobGue](https://github.com/JakobGue) in [#715](Donkie/Spoolman#715)
- Fix Spool Edit page Empty Weight and Initial Weight bug by [@ajford](https://github.com/ajford) in [#717](Donkie/Spoolman#717)
- Reduce Docker container size by [@Shadowsith](https://github.com/Shadowsith) in [#747](Donkie/Spoolman#747)
- Supports PWA. by [@sixiaolong1117](https://github.com/sixiaolong1117) in [#762](Donkie/Spoolman#762)
