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
`iso3166list` linter and adjusting all others to allow for
multiple optional linters (by checking `data_len` vs `offset`)
library: change invalid `input_mode` reset to return warning;
split func table into 2 - func declarations without prototype
will be error in C23;
make invalid symbology check a separate function using a table
and call near beginning of `ZBarcode_Encode_Segs()`;
in `ZBarcode_BarcodeName()` save some bytes by simplifying
name table and removing "BARCODE_" prefix from entries
output: fix pack logic to use pragma by default (actually more
portable than `__attribute__`)
common.h: remove C99 detection which was artifice of specifying
"-std=", and rejig layout to be more logical
BWIPP: update to latest version
general: change `ZINT_VERSION_BUILD` tests to `#if`s
general: further fiddling with some tables to save a few bytes
CLI: change function arg `optarg` -> `arg` so doesn't shadow
global
general: library now compilable with Comp Cert C (though as it
doesn't support `alloca()` will have multiple memory leaks)
"SetPaths.cmake" (removed) - resolves absolute paths in
"zint-targets.cmake", ticket #318, props John Alexander;
also remove "FindZint.cmake" install as not best practice
(Daniel Pfeifer “Effective CMake"), but retain in tree for now;
also remove APPLE stuff re UNIVERSAL build, obsolete, and
setting of CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT, seems unnecessary

only)
CLI: add "isbn" synonym; save a few bytes using `char[]` rather
than `char *`
allow for old "libpng" (`png_set_scale_16()` not available)
general: Solaris compat
library: use proper function ptr instead of `void *` for function
table; warning suppression "-Wpedantic" -> "-Wstrict-prototypes"
GRIDMATRIX/HANXIN/QRCODE: `xx_define_mode()`: multi-dim `char_modes`
test `ferror()` also in `fm_err()` if `err` zero and file
NetBSD: add instructions and some workarounds (`getopt_long_only()`
in particular)
qzint: check `__GNUC__` version for "-Wstringop-truncation"
suppression
outputting to in-memory buffer `symbol->memfile` instead of to
file `symbol->outfile`, ticket #301
Add "README.clang-tidy" and ".clang-tidy" options file
Suppress some warnings

raster: add `ZFONT_HALIGN_CENTRE/LEFT/RIGHT` flags and process
in `draw_string()` (for drawing EAN/UPC outside digits), and
for `ZFONT_HALIGN_CENTRE` round when calculating centre
(shifts some texts 1 pixel left)
raster/vector: use offsets into `symbol->text` for EAN/UPC
instead of `out_upcean_split_text()` (removed)

routine (replaces `colour_to_XXX()`)
general: simplify/fix some `error_number` handling/returning
frontend: truncate overlong `--primary` instead of ignoring;
negative floating pt option (for `--textgap`)
man page: list size detail for matrix symbols (`--vers`)
manual: further fiddling with scaling text; some typos
manual: expand size/alpha details in Section "5.4 Buffering Symbols
in Memory (raster)" (cf ticket #291);
add BSD info (TODO: NetBSD);
variable -> member (struct zint_symbol)
frontend: fix missing static on `validate_structapp()`
test suite: update to latest BWIPP (PDF417 needed adjusting)
Changelog: trim some more uninteresting changes
Allow `--embedfont` for non-EAN/UPC SVG also (& update GUI)
SVG: add "fonts/normal_woff2.h"; use array syntax for it &
"fonts/upcean_woff2.h" to avoid large strings
GUI: embed Arimo (via "fonts/normal_ttf.h"), same as OCRB
Change textgap max 5X -> 10X
README: make list of barcodes 2-col table for readability
win32/README: note Visual Studio 2022 re CMake
`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

strings
- API/CLI/GUI: allow foreground/background colours to be specified

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)

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

output path using new function `out_fopen()` and use in BMP/EMF/

determine if no PNG support in libzint; replace use in GUI with
backend_qt method `noPng()`
Either shared or static (or both) libraries can be built now.
Executables (zint and zint-qt) are linked with the static library if the shared
library it not built.
