from ZXing (props Alex Geller) - about 25-60% slower depending on
data & stack heavy but does improve some outcomes when FNC1s
present (GS1_MODE or manual) although not much else it appears
(the previous algorithm was very good), but has a logical clarity
the other lacked - funcs `c128_dxsmooth()` etc shared with
CODE16K now moved there and renamed as `c16k_`;
also fix extended char latching when exactly 4 extended chars
at end
also manual code set switching now honoured exactly even if
immediate shift required;
manual: make explicit that AI "(00)" and "(01)" prefixes added by
Zint are HRT-only
general: add `extern "C"` wrappers to a few header files
whjitespace at bottom of CODABLOCKF/CODE16K/CODE49 if BIND_TOP
set); add left/right fudge to guard whitespace placements so
appear closer to edge for SVG/qzint (undone by EMF/EPS)
reduce antialiasing allowance for `textoffset`;
adjust text to baseline using values for Arimo rather than
percentage
GUI: fix not enabling font combo "Small Bold (vector only)" by
default
raster/vector: rename `text_height` -> `font_height`
`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
EPS: simplify "TR" formula
SVG: change font from "Helvetica, sans serif" to "OCR-B, monospace";
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
`hrt_cpy_iso8859_1()` and add `ZINT_WARN_HRT_TRUNCATED` warning
(for future use)
Various symbologies: replace `printf()` with `fputs()`
(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)
barcode and text
- EMF/EPS/SVG/GUI: ignore BOLD_TEXT for EAN/UPC
- DAFT: up max to 250 chars
- EMF/EPS/SVG: fix addon bars placement/length when text hidden
- Qt backend: use `QFontMetrics::horizontalAdvance()` rather than
`boundingRect()` to calc text width (seems to be more accurate)
- library: make printf/sprintf() format arg always literal string
- output: fix errtxt nos clash;
use array for `out_upcean_split_text()` text parts
- raster/vector: smallify addon text printing logic
- frontend: warn if output file and direct options both given;
add TODO note about `CommandLineToArgvW()` loading shell32.dll
- manual: put HRT options in own section
-> 16 to allow for "C,M,Y,K" comma-separated decimal percentage
strings
- API/CLI/GUI: allow foreground/background colours to be specified
as comma-separated decimal "C,M,Y,K" strings where "C", "M" etc.
are percentages (0-100) (ticket #281, 3rd point)
- output.c: new funcs `out_colour_get_rgb()` & `out_colour_get_cmyk()`
and use in bmp/emf/gif etc.
- PCX: add alpha support
- GUI: fix fg/gbcolor icon background not being reset on zap
- GUI: Rearrange some Appearance tab inputs (Border Type <-> Width,
Show Text <-> Font, Text/Font <-> Printing Scale/Size) to flow
more naturally (hopefully)
- GUI: save button "Save As..." -> "Save..." and add icon
- CLI: add --bgcolor/colour & --fgcolor/colour synonyms
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)

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
vertical whitespace, as they're decorative rather than functional (#247)
Allow for dot overspill in height of vertical box sides (dotty mode)
Move is_dotty(), is_fixed_ratio() from library.c to common.c
bmp/emf/ps.c: allow for foreground colour in ULTRA
bmp/gif/pcx.c: allow for BARCODE_STDOUT (fflush/fclose)
emf.c: hexagon rotation field not used; dont't use float index in font loop; Windows stdout binary mode

ps.c: fix buffer overflow on colour_to_pscolor() CMYK
tif.c: fix BLACKISZERO indexes
