Version 2.8.0 2020-04-10
|
||||||
|
========================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Changes
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
(New) Tests for auspost, codablock, composite, dotcode, general, telepen,
|
||||||
|
upcean, all output formats
|
||||||
|
- 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.
|
||||||
|
- Add new symbology "Ultra Code" with the ability to output colour codes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Bugs
|
||||||
|
----
|
||||||
|
- Ticket 181 penetration test found many bugs:

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
- Dotcode: overrun in binary mode, overrun in codeword_array buffer
|
||||||
|
Correct encoding of HT/FS/GS/RS when shifting to code set B
|
||||||
|
- empty or unreadable input file
|
||||||
|
- telepen: buffer overflow
|
||||||
|
- EANUCC: buffer overflow on multiple + (multiple extension bars)
|
||||||
|
- Maxicode: index overrun on numeric compaction
|
||||||
|
- CodeOne: Simple i indexing not sp + i in C1_ASCII numeric latch loop.
|
||||||
|
- Aztec: free memory
|
||||||
|
- Ticket 183: Databar stacked separator correction
|
||||||
|
- Ticket 182: Output bitmap type was char, where some targets assigned 0
|
||||||
|
if pixel colour >127 (e.g. negative). API change to use unsigned char.
|
||||||
|
- HanXin: wrong codepage, gb2312 instead gb18030.
|
||||||
|
- PDF417: corrected alloced sizes to max characters
|
||||||
|
- Ticket 189: FNC1 encodation fixed (FLG(0) missing after FLG(n))

Version 2.8.0 2020-04-10:
|
|
||||||
Changes:
|
|
||||||
(New) Tests for auspost, codablock, composite, dotcode, general, telepen, upcean,
|
|
||||||
all output formats,
|
|
||||||
- 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.
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
- empty or unreadable input file
|
|
||||||
- telepen: buffer overflow
|
|
||||||
- EANUCC: buffer overflow on multiple + (multiple extension bars)
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
- Ticket 182: Output bitmap type was char, where some targets assigned 0
