encodation;
use code set E for padding as well, saves codeword, props Bue
Jensen (BWIPP PR #279);
add padding after all segments and limit loops to length to make
NS compression work better;
all the above temporary fixes until Bue Jensen's merge request
with the BWIPP PR #279 algorithm
GUI: expand linux "xcb" platform hack for >= Qt 5.1
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$" in prep for l10n (maybe);
`is_sane/is_sane_lookup()` -> `not_sane/not_sane_lookup()`,
returning 1-based position (zero on failure) instead of bool;
`long` ints -> plain `int` (except those dealing with `ftell()`,
`fread()` etc) as depend on int being 32-bits already
GUI: in "grpDATF.ui" use "PlainText" rather than "RichText" for
tracker ratio examples as height of text messing up sometimes
manual: clarify Codablock-F length maximum & add examples
docs: README: pandoc 3.5, Ubuntu 24.04
CMake: use "-Wpedantic" for Clang only as GNU complains about
`errtxtf()` positional args "%n$"
avoid various weird behaviours
tests: disable GUI-dependent tests (`TestQZint::renderTest()`) if
ZINT_SANITIZE and on Linux for later versions of Qt (5 and 6)
to avoid ASAN "detected memory leaks" errors on exit
ticket #324, props Jim Shank;
also improve encodation for a few limited cases;
also some code fiddling
BWIPP: update to latest
raster: check for overflow on `size + size2` in `raster_malloc()`
vector: put `malloc()`s on one line for grep ease
docs: pandoc-3.3, clang-tidy-20
"SetPaths.cmake" (removed) - resolves absolute paths in
"zint-targets.cmake", ticket #318, props John Alexander;
also remove "FindZint.cmake" install as not best practice
(Daniel Pfeifer “Effective CMake"), but retain in tree for now;
also remove APPLE stuff re UNIVERSAL build, obsolete, and
setting of CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT, seems unnecessary
[f3a982c1dd])
AZTEC/CODE16K/CODEONE/DATAMATRIX/DBAR_EXP/GRIDMATRIX/HANXIN
/MAILMARK_4S/PDF417/MSI_PLESSEY/QRCODE/RMQR/TIF/ULTRA/USPS_IMAIL:
lessen storage of some tables by using least integral size

AUSPOST/AZTEC: remove unnecessary int casts on array indexing
CODE11/CODE39: move start/stop chars into one entry in tables to
save a few bytes; some reformatting, comments
CODEONE: add `c1_` prefixes
common: more precise compiler/version checks

`sizeof()` instead of `strlen()` for `in_linear_comp` static;
some reformatting, comments
EMF: use table instead of string for `ultra_chars[]`
GIF: remove unnecessary cast

- 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)
and `out_colour_get_cmyk()`, to lessen chances of rounding
errors (in particular for VC6)
test_large: fix regression in change to test for formatting
`uint64_t` for `printf()`
win32/README: update MinGW/MSYS Qt version
`size_t` as appropriate)
- BMP: lessen heap memory usage by only `malloc()`ing a row, not
whole file
- GIF: lessen heap memory usage by paging (also simplifies some
function returns); use standard colour char map
- raster: add `raster_malloc()` to fail > 1GB (avoids very large
output files that most systems can't handle; also lessens to
some degree chances of being victim of OOM killer on Linux)
- GUI: printing scale dialog: set maxima on X-dim and resolution
to keep scale <= 200
2017 -> 2022 (2017 moved to "vs2017") and simplifying lpng
build (use "nmake" - "libpng16_static.lib" -> "libpng.lib");
update various ".sln", ".vcxproj" & "*.pro" files

raster: add `ZFONT_HALIGN_CENTRE/LEFT/RIGHT` flags and process
in `draw_string()` (for drawing EAN/UPC outside digits), and
for `ZFONT_HALIGN_CENTRE` round when calculating centre
(shifts some texts 1 pixel left)
raster/vector: use offsets into `symbol->text` for EAN/UPC
instead of `out_upcean_split_text()` (removed)
BMP/EMF/GIF/PCX/PNG/PS/SVG/TIF: use new `out_colour_get_rgb()`
routine (replaces `colour_to_XXX()`)
general: simplify/fix some `error_number` handling/returning
frontend: truncate overlong `--primary` instead of ignoring;
negative floating pt option (for `--textgap`)
man page: list size detail for matrix symbols (`--vers`)

(was only set on BMP output to length of BMP pixel array)
EXCODE39: change to display check digit in HRT by default
CODE39/EXCODE39/LOGMARS: new hidden check digit option
(`option_2 = 2`)
qr.c: suppress bogus gcc-13 warning (only appears on optimize)
GUI: move some symbology-specific options into Data Tab so
separate tab unnecessary (those with few options and no
Composite/ECI), namely: all C25XXX, CODE39/EXCODE39/LOGMARS,
MSI_PLESSEY, CODABAR, DAFT, DPD, MAILMARK_2D, ITF-14, PZN,
UPNQR, CHANNEL, CODE93 and VIN, adjusting grp uis.
change Data dialog button (ellipsis) QToolButton -> QPushButton
& vice versa zap/clear/eye/swap/scale buttons QPushButton ->
QToolButton for better mac compat (also makes sense);
remove some mac hacks that no longer seem necessary;
use folder icon for Export dialog directory button
manual: document new Symbology-specific groupbox & CODE39/etc
hidden check digit option; add annexes on Qt and Tcl backends;
narrow some tables for better txt output;
remove echoed image tags in txt (pandoc 3.1.5 regression?);

Change textgap max 5X -> 10X
README: make list of barcodes 2-col table for readability
win32/README: note Visual Studio 2022 re CMake
`EANUPC_GUARD_WHITESPACE`, CLI `--guardwhitespace`) (ticket #287)
EAN-2/EAN-5: HRT now at top instead of at bottom for standalones,
following BWIPP
CLI: batch mode: don't close input if stdin
EAN/UPC: fix excess 1X to right of add-ons

for linear shifting
CLI: use own (Wine) version of `CommandLineToArgvW()` to avoid
loading "shell32.dll"

enable embedding of font in vector output - currently only for
SVG output of EAN/UPC
GUI: use "OCR-B" font for EAN/UPC and "Arimo" for all others (was
"Helvetica" for both); paint background of screen preview light
grey so as contrasts with whitespace and quiet zones
EMF: prefix funcs with `emf_`; simplify string `halign` handling
large: rename `large_int` -> `large_uint`
CODE128/common: move `c128_hrt_cpy_iso8859_1()` to
