encodation in certain cases (and no pessimizations found so far),
props lyngklip (BWIPP);
fix extended char latching when exactly 3 extended chars at end;
count code set C (not digits) in loop deciding when to
shift/latch to extended for better estimate
AZTEC: return warning if ECC < 5% (due to bit-stuffing when version
given); return error if > 22 layers (Zint 26) for Reader
Initialisation symbol requested for better error message
AZTEC/HANXIN/QRCODE: consolidate different ECC data size tables
into one indexed by ECC
DBAR_EXP: check for reduced length <= 77 up front for better error
message
HANXIN: use `malloc()` rather than `z_alloca()` for large binary
array
QRCODE: `ecc_level` now 0-based (not 1-based)
MICROQR: consolidate different version end routines into one
`microqr_end()` and use new `microqr_data` table to simplify code
MICROPDF417: use table for max codewords per column
library: centralize all error messages using new `errtxt()`,
`errtxtf()`, `errtxt_adj()` funcs that protect `symbol->errtxt`
from overflow, & try to make error messages more consistent
thru-out, adding more feedback info to many, & use positional
args "%n$" in prep for l10n (maybe);
`is_sane/is_sane_lookup()` -> `not_sane/not_sane_lookup()`,
returning 1-based position (zero on failure) instead of bool;
`long` ints -> plain `int` (except those dealing with `ftell()`,
`fread()` etc) as depend on int being 32-bits already
GUI: in "grpDATF.ui" use "PlainText" rather than "RichText" for
tracker ratio examples as height of text messing up sometimes
manual: clarify Codablock-F length maximum & add examples
docs: README: pandoc 3.5, Ubuntu 24.04
CMake: use "-Wpedantic" for Clang only as GNU complains about
`errtxtf()` positional args "%n$"
- GUI: scalewindow: fix cropping resolution on initial setup
(`spnResolution` max 1000 -> 254000) and bound X-dim to <= 10 in
`set_maxima()`
- GUI: mainwindow: bound X-dim as above and clamp `m_xdimdpVars`
members on initial load from INI
- GUI: undo `QString::mid()` -> `QString::midRef()` from clazy
& explicitly include "QObject" in "qzint.h" (not Qt6 compatible)
MSI_PLESSEY/FLAT/DAFT/TELEPEN/TELEPEN_NUM: increase allowed
lengths to max or near-max possible in 1152 modules for most
(all?) variable length input linear barcodes
USPS_IMAIL: suppress bogus clang-tidy warning re garbage value
(doesn't take `strlen()` into account?)
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()` (+ `ZBarcode_XdimDp_From_Scale()`
& `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
- 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
- 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)
- 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
GRIDMATRIX, HANXIN, MAXICODE, MICROPDF417, PDF417, QRCODE, RMQR, ULTRA
RMQR: fix ECI encoding (wrong bit length for indicator)
MICROQR: check versions M1 and M2 for allowed characters so as to give
better error messages
DOTCODE: some small optimizations
common.c: add is_chr(), segs_length(), segs_cpy()
CODEONE/CODE128/DOTCODE/GRIDMATRIX/HANXIN/MAXICODE/QRCODE/ULTRA: add
namespace prefixes to static funcs/data
includes: use Z_ prefix, unuse double underscore prefixes (guard defines)
manual.txt: compress some tables using double/treble column sets
UTF-16LE, GBK, separate GB18030, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE
add examples to tests for DATAMATRIX, HANXIN, QRCODE
HANXIN: Remove alternating filler in function information;
GB 18030 now ECI 32 (previously used ECI 29);
fix gate-posts on codeword limits
use new ZXing-C++ HanXin detector (diagnostics2 branch) for tests
check against ISO/IEC 20830:2021 (no substantive changes)
backend_tcl: update ECIs; NOTE: changed names "unicode" -> "utf-16be",
"euc-cn" -> "gb2312"
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)
DMATAMATRIX: fix look ahead BASE256 use of dm_text_sp_cnt() on switching;
simplify dm_add_tail()
GUI: check suffixes on save so don't go into error state;
use native path for Save As clipboard message
CODE128: use gs1_check_digit() for NVE18 and EAN14
- use fixed-length string tables (mostly) instead of (char *) pointer ones
(saves ~40K)
- re-use C128Table for CODABLOCKF and CODE16K
(required removal of Stop character and extra CODE16K-only entry)
- use pointer to destination and copy (memcpy/strcpy(), bin_append_posn())
instead of concatenating (strcat()) (mostly)
- replace last remaining bin_append()s with bin_append_posn();
bin_append() removed
- add length arg to toupper() and expand() (avoids strlen())
- change is_sane() to use table-based flags (avoids an iteration)
- rename lookup() to is_sane_lookup() and change to check and return posns
and use in pointer to destination loops (avoids strcat()s)
- remove special case PHARMA in expand() (dealt with in pharma())
- make #define SILVER/CALCIUM/TECHNETIUM/KRSET etc static strings
- replace strchr() -> posn()
- CODE128: populate destination once in checksum loop; re-use and export
some more routines (c128_set_a/b/c(), c128_put_in_set()) for sharing;
prefix defines (SHIFTA -> C128_SHIFTA etc) and existing exported routines
- use factor XOR toggle trick in checksum calcs (avoids branch)
- raster.c: fill out single 1-pixel row and copy using new draw_bar_line(),
copy_bar_line() routines; similarly in buffer_plot compare previous line &
copy if same (same technique as used to improve non-half-integer scaling,
significant performance increase, (c) codemonkey82);
also done for PNG (BMP/GIF/PCX/TIFF not done)
- raster/vector/output.c: shorten "output_" prefix -> "out_";
sync vector to other raster changes to try to keep source files similar
- 2of5.c: prefix "c25_"
JAPANPOST: return error if input data truncated (backward incompatible)
DAFT: max chars 50 -> 100
common.c: istwodigit() -> is_twodigit()
common.c/emf.c/output.c: use some further stripf()s (MSVC6 float variations)
library.c: new check_output_args() helper
zint.h: add BARCODE_LAST marker and use in library.c
QRCODE: remove a NOLINT (requires clang-tidy-13), one remaining
CMake: separate no-optimize from ZINT_DEBUG into new ZINT_NOOPT option
