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$" in prep for l10n (maybe);
`is_sane/is_sane_lookup()` -> `not_sane/not_sane_lookup()`,
returning 1-based position (zero on failure) instead of bool;
`long` ints -> plain `int` (except those dealing with `ftell()`,
`fread()` etc) as depend on int being 32-bits already
GUI: in "grpDATF.ui" use "PlainText" rather than "RichText" for
tracker ratio examples as height of text messing up sometimes
manual: clarify Codablock-F length maximum & add examples
docs: README: pandoc 3.5, Ubuntu 24.04
CMake: use "-Wpedantic" for Clang only as GNU complains about
`errtxtf()` positional args "%n$"

add `consts` to `escape_char_process()` & use unsigned for `ch`
DBAR: use `dbar_`, `dbar_ltd_`, `dbar_exp_` prefixes
docs: update pandoc version
`gs1_verify()` by checking length before `to_int()`, ticket
#300 (#11), props Andre Maute
CODEONE: fix out-of-bounds crash for Version T by upping buffer
size to same as for A to H, ticket #300 (#12), props Andre Maute

allowing for min linear width 68 in `cc_width` calc, ticket #300
(#13), props Andre Maute

guard against too much stack), ticket #300 (#7 & #10), props Andre
Maute; (TODO: add some checks instead to bail out earlier?)
CODEONE: fix looping on latch crash in `c1_encode()`, ticket #300 (#8),
props Andre Maute
CODABLOCKF: fix crash on negative overflow of `columns` (`option_2`),
ticket #300 (#9), props Andre Maute

`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
Composites: fix excess whitespace; fix quiet zone calcs to allow
for linear shifting
CLI: use own (Wine) version of `CommandLineToArgvW()` to avoid
loading "shell32.dll"
Move "font.h" -> "raster_font.h"
EPS/SVG: use new `out_putsf()` func to output floats, avoiding
trailing zeroes & locale dependency

use single "<path>" instead of multiple "<rect>"s to draw boxes
(reduces file size)
Add `EMBED_VECTOR_FONT` to `output_options` (CLI `--embedfont`) to
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

(symbol->debug)
QRCODE: better assert(), removing a NOLINT (2 left)
CLI: add some more barcode synonyms for DBAR
common: various fiddlings
CMake: don't include png.c unless ZINT_USE_PNG (avoids clang
warning)
replace double-slash comments with old-skool slash asterisk ones;
define uint16_t etc for Windows ourselves and remove ms_stdint.h &
stdint_msvc.h as no longer used;
(backend (excepting test suite) now C89 compatible)
LICENSE: move from backend to root and move COPYING to frontend, with
copies in frontend_qt & backend_qt, so in where it applies;
add LICENSE section from manual to root README
- make Sequence Format textbox bigger (on own line)
- suppress question mark in Windows dialogs
AUSPOST: more standard error messages

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
add specify rows option (option_3) (#204);

(though probably never reached); use "[tp++]" throughout
Add const to static tables missing it and also to some variables
Change "debug" -> "debug_print" throughout
- 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

Original email reads...
It does not contain any fundamental changes or new functions but a lot of improvements which I have done over time (added several const/static specifiers, replaced repeated if-conditions by if-else, removed some warnings).
