Version History
Here you can find the changelog of CLZ Comics - comic database since it was posted on our website on 2013-08-23.
The latest version is 9.1.3 and it was updated on soft112.com on 22 April, 2024.
See below the changes in each version:
version 9.1.3
posted on 2024-04-03
New:
* Improved barcode scanning:
Scanning comic barcodes can be tricky, especially the 12+2 and 12+5 digit ones. We've always tried to scan these as efficiently as possible. As phones have better camera's these days *and* are much faster, we've now tweaked our barcode scanning engine to make use of the extra camera resolution and device performance. This should make a big difference when adding comics by barcode!
Fixed:
* Update from Core could always show new updates even if there were none
version 9.1.1
posted on 2024-03-27
New:
* Use Edit Multiple to set Creators and Characters for multiple comics in one go
* Tap a creator name in comic details to instantly see all comics he/she worked on
* Improved barcode scanning for barcodes with a 2 or 5 digit extension
Fixed:
* Add by Barcode: Screen would “pause” and eventually “hang” for some users after scanning a couple of barcodes
* Keyboard could disappear when searching in a list of folders
* Sync button could stay on screen even if there were no changes to be synced
