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

|
||||
- Codablock: data 0x1a..0x1f caused segfault
|
||||
- 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))
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bugs:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Version 2.7.0 2019-12-05:
|
||||
Changes:
|
||||
- Automatic height option added to qzint
|
||||
- DotCode in line with new specification
|
||||
- New GS1 AIs 7240, 235, 417, 7040, 8026, updated checks for 7007, 8008
|
||||
- New Symbology rMQR
|
||||
- QR and Qridmatrix optimisation for GB2312
|
||||
- removed depreciated interface for gLabels program. Please use current interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bugs:
|

Version 2.7.1 2020-02-01:
|
||||
Changes:
|
||||
- QR encoding optimized to get smaller code matrix results
|
||||
- PDF417: remove obsolete codeword number option in qzint.
|
||||
Option removed in qtzint.
|
||||
- Removed annex B (3 digit country codes) and annex C (GS1 General Specification)
|
||||
from the manual. This material may be found elsewhere.
|
||||
- MAC homebrew remark added to the documentation
|
||||
- Correct cmake file to match BSD-3-clause licence
|
||||

|
||||
- Correct uninitialized warning in gridmatrix.call
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
- Auspost: null bytes in content caused segfault
|
||||
- Codablock: data 0x1a..0x1f caused segfault
|
||||
- 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
|
||||

v0.1 - (as Zebar) Draws UPC-A. UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, Interlaced 2 of 5,
|
||||
Codabar, Code 39, Extended Code 39 and Code 93 barcodes and Add-on codes EAN-2
|
||||
and EAN-5 without parity. 13/11/2006
|
||||
|
||||
v0.2 - Added Code 128 (which is now the default), Code 11, Code 2 of 5, Add-on
|
||||
codes EAN-2 and EAN-5 parity and MSI/Plessey without check digit. 12/12/2006
|
||||
|
||||
v0.3 - Added MSI/Plessey Mod 10 check and 2 x Mod 10 check options, Telepen
|
||||
ASCII and Telepen numeric, Postnet, RM4SCC. Code has been tidied up quite a
|
||||
bit. Bind option added. 30/12/2006
|
||||
|
||||
v0.4 - Added barcode stacking (now stacks up to 16 barcodes) and Code16k
|
||||
(stub). 15/1/2007
|
||||
|
||||
v0.5 - Added Australia Post 4-State Barcodes and Pharmacode (1 and 2 track).
|
||||
4-state codes now draw with correct height/width ratio. 28/2/2007
|
||||
|
||||
v0.6 - Added Plessey and some derivative codes (EAN-128, Code 128 subset B,
|
||||
Auspost Reply, Auspost Routing, Auspost Redirect, ITF-14). Tidied up code
|
||||
again: separated symbologies into more files and put all lookup tables into
|
||||
arrays (much reducing the amount of code, especially for Code 39e and Code 93).
|
||||
Errors now output to stderr. Added proper input verification. Distribution now
|
||||
packs with HTML pages instead of separate README. Outputs to PNG. Outputs
|
||||
colour. User variable whitespace and border width. Box option. Fixed EAN add-on
|
||||
bug. Added whitespace and height options. Project name changed to Zint to avoid
|
||||
conflict with extant trade name. Added escape character input. 1/4/2007
|
||||
|
||||
v1.0 - Corrected problem with escape character codes. Supports PDF417. This
|
||||
completes the list of features I originally wanted (plus a few more), hence
|
||||
skip to version 1.0. 20/4/2007
