  • KBarcode 2.0.7 released

    This maintenance release fixes bugs that prevent using KBarcode on recent distributions.
    For this reason, workarounds for bugs in Qt 3.3.2 and earlier have been removed, therefore those versions are no longer supported.
    The source package was tested on Mandriva One 2008.1 and Ubuntu 8.04, among others.

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed.

    Please report any bugs or feature requests to our mailing list: kbarcode-users@lists.sourceforge.net

  • KBarcode 2.0.5 released

    KBarcode 2.0.5[1] brings many bug fixes and a greatly improved data import
    wizard.

    TBarcode2[2] detection was fixed in this release along with checksum for
    TBarcode2. A major bug in printing address labels from the KDE addressbook was
    fixed. A new version of Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript[3] was added to this
    release, which brings several new barcode types to KBarcode. Importing data is
    now possible from fixed format files, too. The import wizard was optimized to
    work on really large data files.

    Please get KBarcode 2.0.5 from our downloads section[4] and report any problems[5]
    you have with this release.

  • KBarcode 2.0.0 release

    March 16, 2006 (The INTERNET). The KBarcode Team is proud to announce the availability of the stable release 2.0.0 yof KBarcode, the leading label printing and barcoding solution for KDE.

    Almost two years of development were put into the second generation of KBarcode to make it more stable, more powerful and easier to use.

    Notable changes include:
    - Several data sources can be used to print labels:
    ~ KBarcodes SQL tables
    ~ Custom SQL queries
    ~ CSV files
    ~ The KDE addressbook
    - More supported barcode symbologies thanks to the included barcode backend "Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript".
    - JavaScript support (for barcode values, text fields and visibility of components)
    - Batch printing is now configured through a wizard interface making it a totally simple task
    - Images can be loaded from a path constructed from an expression
    - Completely rewritten KBarcode Handbook in PDF form

    Getting KBarcode
    ================

    KBarcode can be downloaded from our webpage http://www.kbarcode.net in source and binary form. The KBarcode Handbook can also be found on this page as well as screenshots of KBarcode and more information on the project.

    What is KBarcode?
    =================

    KBarcode is a barcode and label printing application for KDE. It can be used to print everything from simple business cards up to complex labels with several barcodes (e.g. article descriptions).

    KBarcode comes with an easy to use WYSIWYG label designer, a setup wizard, batch import of data for batch printing labels (directly from the delivery note), thousands of predefined labels, database management tools and translations in many languages. Even printing more than 10.000 labels in one go is no problem for KBarcode. Data for printing can be imported from several
    different data sources, including SQL databases, CSV files and the KDE address book.

    Additionally it is a simple barcode generator (similar to the old xbarcode you might know). All major types of barcodes like EAN, UPC, CODE39 and ISBN are supported. Even complex 2D barcodes are supported using third party tools. The generated barcodes can be directly printed or you can export them into images to use them in another application.

    KBarcode is free software released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
