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
for manual Code Set switching via `input_mode` flag
`EXTRA_ESCAPE_MODE` (CLI `--extraesc`) (ticket #204)
- GUI: disable "Reset" colour if default; add "Unset" to Printing
Scale dialog (allows unsetting of X-dim/resolution settings
without having to zap)
- library: guard against out-of-bounds rows (negative)
- test suite: fix some clang-tidy warnings; slight coverage
improvements
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 path using new function `out_fopen()` and use in BMP/EMF/
EPS/GIF/PCX/PNG/SVG/TIF
