libdmtx: 0.5.1 Released

libdmtx is open source software for reading and writing Data Matrix barcodes. At its core libdmtx is a shared library, allowing C/C++ programs to use its capabilities without restrictions or overhead. It also has fully featured command line utilities.

The libdmtx project has released version 0.5.1, a recommended upgrade to fix known issues in 0.5.0. libdmtx is an open source package for reading and writing Data Matrix barcodes on Linux, OS X, Windows, and several mobile devices. At its core libdmtx is a shared library, allowing C/C++ programs to use its capabilities without restrictions or overhead.

The libdmtx 0.5.1 release provides important bug fixes and functionality improvements, mainly for the benefit of users who don't use the latest code from Subversion. The changes in 0.5.1 are incremental by nature and stem from a few factors:

* An incomplete libfec integration from version 0.5.0
* Feature importance identified by real-world users
* Increasing use of libdmtx on non-Linux platforms

This release also lays some important groundwork for the next major version, which will focus primarily on improving runtime performance.
