Add recent changes to README.
Add a note to the manual to explain why --fullmultibyte may be an issue. I am not completely satisfied of the position of this note, as it is symbology specific comaction, but it interferes at least with ECI described below.

- QR, Han Xin, Grid Matrix: the multi byte compaction schemes (ex: Kanji)
|
||||||
|
are used by some decoders as codepage information (Ex: GB2312) and output
|
||||||
|
may be translated to UTF-8. This may destroy the data in a not controlable
|
||||||
|
manner.
|
||||||
|
In consequence, multibyte compaction schemes are disabled by default.
|
||||||
|
The new option --fullmultibyte (option_3 = ZINT_FULL_MULTIBYTE) enables this
|
||||||
|
optimisation.

Please check your reader device for not having the following
|
||||||
|
non-standard property: this option may switch to multibyte (ex. Kanji)
|
||||||
|
compression within the code to obtain a smaller code matrix. The Kanji mode is
|
||||||
|
a compaction mode and does not inform about contained Kanji characters.
|
||||||
|
Nevertheless, some decoders take blocks which are encoded in Kanji
|
||||||
|
compaction and output them as Kanji characters, typically be applying a
|
||||||
|
transformation to UTF8. The result is unpredictable, as zint
|
||||||
|
--fullmultibyte chooses the compaction type only on the criteria to
|
||||||
|
obtain smaller codes and not to inform about the presence of Kanji
|
||||||
|
characters.

||||||
|
An example decoder with this property is the zxing decoder app.
