in `cc_binary_string()`, ticket #300 (#5 & #6), props Andre Maute;
add other checks for length on processing encoding mode
PDF417: fix out-of-bounds crash on overrunning string and codeword
buffers by tripling size (convert to `short` instead of `int` to
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
library: add `debug_print_escape()` helper for ZINT_DEBUG_PRINT
ticket #300, props Andre Maute;
fix 4-layer compact block max (76 -> 64);
fix encoding of byte-blocks > 11-bit limit
library: fix 21-bit Unicode conversion in `escape_char_process()`;
fix restricting escaped data length by using de-escaped length to
check (`escape_char_process()` adapted to do length only calc
also)
intermediate CodeC sequence by setting `f_state` only if in
CodeA/B & checking before adding extended mode switch (cf
OkapiBarcode commit [9ce6dcc], props Daniel Gredler)
DATAMATRIX: in FAST_MODE re-process any buffered X12 characters
when mode changes from X12 (cf OkapiBarcode commit [fb7981e],
props Daniel Gredler)
CODABLOCKF: allow for FNC4 when estimating no. of rows required
CODE16K: make sure row calculation accurate by dispensing with
glyph estimate & using actual codeword count
CODE16K: ensure initial mode selection allows for extended
characters
vector.c: add `z_alloca()` cast for `first_row_rects` (ticket
#272)
MSVC project files: remove incorrect "CompileACpp" setting from
libzint project files (ticket #272)
bwipp_dump.ps: fix 2/4-track processing; update to latest BWIPP
manual/man page/GUI: Code 16k -> Code 16K
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
