Beam desktop v0.4.2 — Refresh fix, no more echo, QR camera scan
What changed
- Fixed a real bug where refreshing the page mid-session (e.g. your phone) could wipe out an active connection.
- Rate-limit errors during heavy testing now show a readable message instead of crashing with a JSON parse error.
- The sender no longer sees their own sent item echoed back into their own Received tab — the confirmation message now clearly states what was actually sent.
- Added an in-browser QR scanner (camera-based) as an alternative to the OS camera app, useful especially on a PC with a webcam but no "scan this" system feature.
