they render correctly when have RGBA alpha channel
- GUI: update_preview() after Data Dialog return to ensure preview in sync
- GUI: add automatic info feedback to "Automatic" combo item of size/row/height
comboboxes
- backend_qt: always call getMaxRectsRightBottom() for render fudge; use
ZBarcode_Clear() instead of ZBarcode_Delete() after 1st call
- update BWIPP to latest & add some MICROQR tests to exercise optimize change
QRCODE: use stricter interpretation of ZINT_FULL_MULTIBYTE, excluding
certain trailing bytes
libzint: fix some confusing error messages introduced by segment stuff
general: new escape chars \U, \d and \o
backend_qt: fudge rendering of border rectangles due to scaling/translation
rounding errors TODO: better fudge
GUI: foreground/background colours -> text boxes and icon buttons, add swap
button, independently movable picker (NULL parent), preview colour changes,
preview Data Window changes, add clear data (del) buttons, add zap button
and Factory Reset menu option, various other fixes
libzint: remove STATIC_UNLESS_ZINT_TEST, use wrappers
CMake: add find package QtSvg, remove QtXml
manual: split symbology and general specs and sort, move DAFT to 4-state,
UPC/EAN -> EAN/UPC, DataBar -> GS1 DataBar always, expand MAILMARK info,
various other fiddlings
man page: options or -> |, expand MSI Plessey check digit options
README.linux: add packages info
license: add SPDX-License-Identifier to touched files
HANXIN/QRCODE: use Hanzi/Kanji modes when compatible ECIs given
manual: one true source now manual.pmd from which manual.txt is generated
CLI: man page moved from frontend/zint.1.gz to docs/zint.1.gz, now
generated from docs/zint.1.pmd
add README.linux to root dir
UPNQR: fix required binary mode using mode_preset
UPNQR: allow mask to be manually specified
GUI: use non-native QColorDialog on Unix also; no noEXE for CLI equivalent;
add shortcuts for copy-to-clipboard and CLI equivalent
CLI: new --version option to print Zint version
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)
Add FAST_MODE input_mode flag and --fast CLI/Tcl option that selects older
faster ISO algorithm (may be used by other symbologies in the future)
and "Fast Encoding" checkbox to Data Matrix GUI
GUI: adds Zint version numbers to DATAMATRIX sizes.
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
GRIDMATRIX, MAXICODE, MICROPDF417, PDF417, QRCODE, ULTRA
DOTCODE: use pre-calculated generator poly coeffs in Reed-Solomon for
performance improvement
PDF417/MICROPDF417: use common routine pdf417_initial()
GUI: code lines <= 118, shorthand widget_obj(),
shorten calling upcean_addon_gap(), upcean_guard_descent()
various backend: var name debug -> debug_print
RMQR: update to new draft ISO/IEC JTC1/SC31N000 (Draft 2019-6-24);
allow for righthand vertical timing pattern in populate_grid()
ULTRA: update max size and min cols based on BWIPP 2021-07-14 update
backend_tcl/zint_tcl.dsp: use /MD instead of /MT for tcl lib compat;
change include/lib path to more standard one
manual.txt: highlight that rMQR is still in development
GUI: use cross-platform smaller font func instead of explicit values for notes
