Version 2.11.0 (2022-05-24)
===========================
**Incompatible changes**
------------------------
- Add width to struct zint_vector_circle
NOTE: backward incompatible drawing of MaxiCode finder (bullseye)
- Check that scale/height/whitespace/border are reasonable values
NOTE: will return error if values outside ranges
- raster.c: Bug fix for heap-buffer-overflow (#204 ARM-Cortex)
NOTE: may cause single-pixel changes to height depending on height/scale used
- JAPANPOST: return error if input data would be truncated
NOTE: previously was silently truncated
- PDF417: return warning if specified cols increased
NOTE: previously no warning was returned
- Matrix symbols: horizontal boundary bars appear outside any vertical
whitespace
NOTE: previously appeared inside vertical whitespace
- ECI 29 now GB 2312 only; GB 18030 is new ECI 32
NOTE: previously ECI 29 was GB 18030 for HANXIN, GB 2312 otherwise
- HANXIN, QRCODE/RMQR now warn when convert to GB 18030, Shift JIS resp.
and no ECI given
- GRIDMATRIX no longer attempts Latin-1 conversion when no ECI given
- CLI now returns ZINT_ERROR_INVALID_OPTION (8) on its failed option checks
and ZINT_WARN_INVALID_OPTION (2) on ignored options
NOTE: previously returned 1 and 0 respectively
Changes
-------
- RMQR: add ECI support
- CODE93: don't display check characters in HRT (as per standard Figure B1)
unless option_2 = 1 or vers=1
- GUI: separate out MAXICODE Structured Carrier Message fields
- library.c: Check that scale/height/whitespace/border are reasonable values:
scale (0.01-100), height (0-2000), whitespace_width/height (0-100),
border_width (0-100)
- CLI: allow both e.g. '-height' and '--height' (getopt_long_only())
- UPC/EAN: add guard_descent
- Add output_options BARCODE_QUIET_ZONES and BARCODE_NO_QUIET_ZONES
- Allow dummy AI "[]" if GS1NOCHECK_MODE and has data (#204)
- raster.c: improve non-half-integer interpolation performance
- Add Structured Append support for AZTEC, CODEONE, DATAMATRIX, DOTCODE,
GRIDMATRIX, MAXICODE, MICROPDF417, PDF417, QRCODE, ULTRA
- ULTRA: add revision 2 support (based on BWIPP 2021-09-28 update)
- Add compliant height
- GUI: add Menu, copy to clipboard EMF/GIF/PNG/TIF, errtxt bar and status bar,
icons (feathericons)
- CODABAR: add show check digit option
- DAFT: max chars 50 -> 100
- CMake: separate no-optimize from ZINT_DEBUG into new ZINT_NOOPT option
- PDF417: add specify rows option
- Add HEIGHTPERROW_MODE input mode flag
- DBAR_EXPSTK: add max rows option
- CODE16K/CODE49: add min rows option
- GUI: add CLI equivalent dialog (#163)
- Add ZBarcode_BarcodeName()
- GUI: data dialog: convert Line Feeds if escaping on input, escape on output
- DATAMATRIX: new algorithm for (near-)optimal encoding, props Alex Geller
- CLI/GUI/Tcl: add --fast option to select faster but less optimal DATAMATRIX
algorithm (previous default)
- Matrix symbols: change horizontal boundary bars to appear outside any
vertical whitespace, as they're decorative rather than functional (#247)
- FIM: Add support for FIM E
- Updated ECIs to AIM ITS/04-023:2022 (ECI Part 3: Register)
- HANXIN: removed alternating filler in function information
- GRIDMATRIX/HANXIN/QRCODE/RMQR: warn if auto-conversion (i.e. no ECI given)
occurs to resp. specialized char sets (GB 2312/GB 18030/Shift JIS)
- Add multiple segments support for AZTEC, CODEONE, DATAMATRIX, DOTCODE,
GRIDMATRIX, HANXIN, MAXICODE, MICROPDF417, PDF417, QRCODE, RMQR, ULTRA
- MICROQR: check versions M1 and M2 for allowed characters so as to give better
error messages
- UPNQR: allow mask to be manually specified
- GUI: use non-native QColorDialog on Unix also; no noEXE for CLI equivalent;
add shortcuts for copy-to-clipboard and CLI equivalent
- CLI: new --version option to print Zint version
- manual: one true source now manual.pmd from which manual.txt is generated
- CLI: man page moved from frontend/zint.1.gz to docs/zint.1.gz, now
generated from docs/zint.1.pmd
- add README.linux to root dir
- CLI: return ZINT_ERROR_INVALID_OPTION instead of 1 on bad option and
ZINT_WARN_INVALID_OPTION instead of 0 on ignored option
Bugs
----
