Incompatible changes:
DOTCODE, QRCODE, RMQR: now return warning if ECI or Structured Append used in GS1 mode
CLI now returns an error if unknown option given or if option is missing its argument
NOTE: previously printed error messages but continued without returning anerror
DPD now adds top boundary bar by default and returns warnings if input is not compliant
Legacy and never-used output option BARCODE_NO_ASCII removed (value now use by new output option BARCODE_BIND_TOP)
Symbology BARCODE_CODE128B (Suppress subset C) renamed to BARCODE_CODE128AB to more accurately reflect its behaviour (old name still recognised, except inTcl backend)
Symbology BARCODE_MAILMARK renamed to BARCODE_MAILMARK_4S due to introduction of BARCODE_MAILMARK_2D (old name still recognised, except in Tcl backend)
CLI now expects floating point arguments to be in simple decimal point notation (i.e. not scientific notation) with a maximum of 7 significant digits
Changes:
bwipp_dump.ps: convert patch file to cat file as BWIPP now honours `dontdraw` for composite symbologies
DOTCODE, QRCODE, RMQR: return warning if ECI or Structured Append used in GS1 mode, ticket #271
CLI: improve `getopt_long_only()` processing, printing own message if bad ar and returning error if so rather than continuing to process
manual: MSE typo -> MSI; adjust SVG scaling for PDF manual; pandoc 2.19.2
manual/man page/GUI: Code 16k -> Code 16K
PDF417/MICROPDF417: add optimized encoding, FAST_MODE for previous; formatting changes
common.c/h: add `cnt_digits()`; comments in include; minor fiddling
API/CLI/Tcl/GUI: new output option BARCODE_BIND_TOP / `--bindtop` / "Bind Top"
DPD: add top boundary (width 3X) by default, using new BARCODE_BIND_TOP; "relabel" option; some compliance checks
manual: fuller DPD doc; some spelling typos, formatting
cmake: fixes for static build and install directories, props koprok
cmake: remove zintconfig.h.in for now as incompatible with MSVC project builds (will add back in future if go fully CMake)
NO_PNG -> ZINT_NO_PNG and new API function `Zint_NoPng()` to determine if no
PNG support in libzint; replace use in GUI with backend_qt method `noPng()`
API: add new zint_symbol `dpmm` field for output resolution (BMP/EMF/PCX/PNG/ TIF only, i.e. excluding EPS, GIF & SVG)
Add support for specifying scale by X-dimension and resolution with new option `--scalexdimdp` for CLI/Tcl & new API function `ZBarcode_Scale_From_XdimDp()` (plus `ZBarcode_XdimDp_From_Scale()` and `ZBarcode_Default_Xdim()`) and new GUI popup; manual: document
BMP/EMF/PCX/PNG/TIF: use new `dpmm` resolution field (for EMF following Inkscape)
backend_qt: add `dpmm()`, `vectorWidth()`, `vectorHeight()`, `noPng()`, `getVersion()`, `takesGS1AIData()`, & `XdimDp` stuff incl. new `QZintXdimDp` struct for passing around scale vars & use in `getAsCLI()`; add comments
Raise `scale` limit to 200 (from 100) to allow for large dpmm
output: create directories & subdirectories as necessary for output path using new function `out_fopen()` and use in BMP/EMF/EPS/GIF/PCX/PNG/SVG/TIF
DPLEIT/DPIDENT: format HRT according to (incomplete) documentation, and set default height to 72X (from 50X)
CODE128B renamed to CODE128AB as can use subsets A and/or B
MAILMARK: better error message if input < 14 characters
GUI: add "Default" button for DAFT tracker ratio & enable/disable various default buttons; use new `takesGS1AIData()` to enable/disable GS1-specific checkboxes
CLI: use new `validate_float()` to parse float options (7 significant digits allowed only, no scientific notation)
CLI: mirror: use -o directory if any (ticket #193)
QRCODE/UPNQR: add FAST_MODE (try 4 not 8 masks automatically)
GS1: add new AI 7011 (GSCN 22-163)
Add new symbology BARCODE_MAILMARK_2D (Royal Mail 2D Mailmark), renaming previous BARCODE_MAILMARK (Royal Mail 4-State Mailmark) to BARCODE_MAILMARK_4S
Add new symbology BARCODE_UPU_S10
PZN: allow check digit to be given; add space after hyphen in HRT; PZN7 option
backend_tcl: update TEA
DATAMATRIX/GRIDMATRIX/PDF417/QR/ULTRA: micro-optimize structapp ID parse
library/CLI: fiddle with static asserts (make CHAR_BIT sensitive, supposedly)
win32/README: update building libpng (assembly removed)
README.linux: document incompatibility of Qt6 >= 6.3
manual: expand Barcode Studio waffle
test suite: change range separator to hyphen and allow multiple excludes
Bugs:
test suite: fix `test_library` test to allow for running from root; fix `test_args` test to allow for re-running (remove junk) (tickets #268, #269)
common.h: define ZINT_IS_C89 as __STDC_VERSION__ not defined by MSVC, and use when checking whether to include <alloca.h> (MR #152)
common.c: ensure `stripf()` not inlined to prevent optimizer undoing effect (ticket #269)
GUI: fix "Border Width" ampersand shortcut
CODE128: allow for extended latching (double FNC4) spanning intermediate CodeC sequence by setting `f_state` only if in CodeA/B & checking before adding extended mode switch (cf OkapiBarcode commit [9ce6dcc], props Daniel Gredler)
DATAMATRIX: in FAST_MODE re-process any buffered X12 characters when mode changes from X12 (cf OkapiBarcode commit [fb7981e], props Daniel Gredler)
CODABLOCKF: allow for FNC4 when estimating no. of rows required
CODE16K: make sure row calculation accurate by dispensing with glyph estimate & using actual codeword count
CODE16K: ensure initial mode selection allows for extended characters
vector.c: add `z_alloca()` cast for `first_row_rects` (ticket #272)
MSVC project files: remove incorrect "CompileAsCpp" setting from libzint project files (ticket #272)
bwipp_dump.ps: fix 2/4-track processing; update to latest BWIPP
PDF417/MICROPDF417: use latch not ps shift for padding when spanning Text segments to avoid affecting 1st char of 2nd segment
GUI: only skip encoded/errored signal processing if active modal ExportDialog (wasn't clearing/setting error text bar correctly)
CODABAR: fix minimum height calc
EMF: fix indexing of handles (zero-based not 1-based)
GUI: fix symbology zap (previous technique of clearing and re-loading settings without doing a sync no longer works); fix UPCEAN guard descent enable
