MakeACopy

Privacy-focused document scanner with OCR and PDF export
New in version 2.2.2
MakeACopy 2.2.2 (Release)

This update fixes a versionCode mismatch introduced in 2.2.0/1 that prevented binary-identical reproducible builds across ABI splits and F-Droid.
No functional changes were made to the scanning engine, camera, OCR, or UI.

- Camera rebuilt for broad device compatibility with dynamic 3‑stage binding. Most OEM workarounds removed; targeted handling remains for Sony on Android 15+.
- Self‑healing preview to recover black screens.
- Adaptive torch exposure based on live lu

• Edge detection: Automatic document boundary detection using OpenCV
• Perspective correction: Manually or automatically adjust document perspective
