2017 -> 2022 (2017 moved to "vs2017") and simplifying lpng
build (use "nmake" - "libpng16_static.lib" -> "libpng.lib");
update various ".sln", ".vcxproj" & "*.pro" files
update_version.php: update copyright year also in "*.rc" files
manual: note Ultracode 2023 now released but not yet supported
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)
- GUI: fix symbology zap (previous technique of clearing and
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
project builds (will add back in future if go fully CMake)
- NO_PNG -> ZINT_NO_PNG and new API function `Zint_NoPng()` to
determine if no PNG support in libzint; replace use in GUI with
backend_qt method `noPng()`
as to fully comply with BSD license (for why Library GPL 2+ not
compatible see https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/6701),
~3% slower (maybe), +~6K extra in data
(gb18030.c, gb2313.c & sjis.c removed, mapping .TXT files moved
to backend/tools/data & extra ones added, 2 new PHP generators)
GUI: CODE39/EXCODE39: show/hide HIBC check digit option in addition
to enable/disable (less confusing)
CLI: batch: pedantic check for EOF using intChar in newline fgetc()
loop
test_args.c: don't use WIFEXITED(), WEXITSTATUS() on Windows
manual: lessen some copy/paste verbiage by referring back, other
small tweaks/typos
PLESSEY: add options NCR weighted mod-10, hide check digit(s) in HRT
test suite: now runnable under MSVC 2019, 2017, 2015, MinGW/MSYS
win32/README: update with MSVC 2019 and CMake instructions
- add define "DM_DMRE 101" to zint.h as option_3 value
- add option "-dmre" to command line
- add ckeckbutton "Activate DMRE in automatic mode" to qzint
- make dmatrix.c/dmatrix.h aware of option_3 value DM_DMRE and include DMRE in automatic mode
- Use version 2.5 everywere (as already started by Robin)
- common test case for DMRE in automatic mode is numeric input data with 48 digits, which should lead to a symbol of size 8x64
