Added bold and small text options. Reintroduction of Codablock-F. Many minor fixes and improvements. Version 2.5.1: Numerous bugfixes, especially with Data Matrix thanks to extensive testing by brunt@SF Version 2.6.0: Update front end to Qt5. Output to EMF and TIF. Copy to clipboard. Update to latest draft of DMRE. Usual bugfixes. Version 2.6.1: Library bugfixes: EDIFACT unlatch in Data Matrix, Add UPNQR, Improved Aztec data compression, Detect Code 128 data too long, Make error codes consistent. GUI improvements: Additional clipboard options, remove border width bug, remove changing background colour bug, remember more settings and make GUI more consistent with user expectations. All windows now resizable and more information given when batch processing. Version 2.6.2: Further bugfixes in Aztec and DotCode. Expand escape sequence support to API and GUI. Handle UTF BOM. Bugfix raster images of Maxicode. Version 2.6.3: New symbology Royal Mail 4-state Mailmark. Added North America VIN verification. Bugfixes for TIF and EMF output and escape character handling. Version 2.6.4: Fixed bugs: EMF output, maxicode plot/content Datamatrix DMRE updated to the ISO/IEC29158 version. This is incompatible in the way, that the old -vers numbers for DMRE are re-assigned. The separator of GS1-datamatrix may be switched from FNC1 to GS. GS1 field length check AI 8009 and 7230 to 7239 currected. Version 2.6.5: Fixed bugs: backend/main.c was missing Maxicode bullseye rastering for scale = 0.5 Crash in uto to eci. eci ISO 8859-16 table missing data line upce check for 7 digit input (causes crash) and BARCODE_UPCE_CHK -> BARCODE_UPCE mapping removed US imail check for invalid barcode identifier and allow 0/5/9/11 length zip maxicode code set correction cmake flags for debugging and sanitize options unit tests for the changes, with a simple test suite based on qrencode/tests Version 2.6.6 (not jet released): Fixed bugs: Ticket 161: PDF row size may be set Ticket 155: PDF numeric compaction Ticket 164: crash due to call of svg_plot withnull vector Ticket 119: Crash on bullseye raster drawing qtzint: Micro-QR version option choice corrected (+1 missing).

BEFORE POSTING TO THE LIST -------------------------- Please note the following points... * Zint is primarily developed for Linux. While we have some experience of using Zint on Windows we may be unable to resolve problems if they are specific to other operating systems. We cannot provide support for using Zint with commercial packages such as MS Office or Crystal Reports. * Always ensure you are using the latest version of Zint before posting bug reports - the bug you are reporting may have been fixed already. * Please remember to state what operating system you are using and include enough information to allow us to reproduce the error - including input data if appropriate. * Please DO NOT post messages asking for us to change the license arrangements. You will be ignored. * Please remember that Zint is developed by volunteers. While we attempt to answer all messages within a week, this is highly dependant on external circumstances.
