| |
2009/02/12 | | V9.0.0New Barcode Types
- Micro QR Code
2D symbology with binary encoding support.

Features/Enhancements
- Improved Quiet Zone Adjustment
The quiet zone works for all barcodes now. It can be specified in modules, mm, mils and pixels. All four sides may be adjusted separately.
- Improved "Bar Width Reduction" Adjustment
The bar width reduction uses decimals and lets the user choose between several units (percent, mm, mils and pixel).
- Bitmap Size for Image Export
New function for calculating the optimal bitmap sizes for image export.
- Compressed Data Size
New function for retrieving the length of compressed barcode data.
- PDF Output
Barcodes can be saved in PDF format now (no human readable text).
- Data Matrix
Added the possibility to enforce 8 bit (byte) encoding mode.
- RSS and GS1 DataBar
Changed the naming of 'RSS' barcodes to 'GS1 DataBar'.
Bug Fixes
- Bitmap Export
The resolution for barcodes with more than 300 dpi is stored correctly into barcode images (e.g. JPEG, PNG) now.
- Pharmacode
Fixed a problem related to the encoding of color sequences.
- KIX Barcode
Right aligned text is now properly aligned.
More Bug Fixes
- HIBC Barcodes: Fix in check routine for HIBC LIC format.
- ITF-14 was accidentally handled as AI bar code type.
- License data is trimmed from white spaces.
- TBarCode Library (Core): Rotated barcodes (180°) fixed.

2007/11/21 | | V8.0.0New Features
- New Barcode Types: Aztec Code, DPD Code, Italian Postal Code 2of5, DAFT Code, Telepen, KIX (Dutch Postal Barcode).
- Add new GS1 code names (e.g. GS1-128 was formerly named EAN-128).
- Codabar Mod-16 Check Digit.
- Callback Drawing Functions for MaxiCode.
- Possibility to force Binary Encoding Mode with PDF417.
Bug Fixes
- PDF417: Corrected an encoding error when a space follows a punctuation character at the end of the data stream.
- PDF417: TBarCode hangs when using a wrong character in the File-ID (happened only when using structured append).
- PDF417: binary sequences are encoded in a wrong way (If the input data was encoded in Punctuation mode and TBarCode have had to shift to Byte mode, it incorrectly returned to Punctuation instead of Alpha mode).
- PDF417/MicroPDF: Compaction now always uses binary mode for barcode creation. This avoids error messages “Barcode does not fit….”
- Data Matrix: Bug in EDIFACT mode corrected (Umlauts in specific character sequences generated an error code).
- Data Matrix: catastrophic failure with \F (FNC1).
- Code128: FNC1 was not encoded in the actual sub set (only happened with user specified subsets).
- Escape sequences are handled now before a possible data compression and before a check-digit is computed (previous versions incorrectly computed check-digits in this situation).

2007/06/05 | | V7.0.5New
- Parameter --insertpattern (filtering of special Adobe® generated PostScript files).
Fix
- The included filter scripts used the installation path of the previous version 2. Now the correct path is used.
| |
2007/03/27 | | V7.0.4New
- Directly embedded Bitmap generator with Victor Image Library. All commonly used Bitmap Formats are available (on Big Endian Systems like AIX, HP-UX the TIFF format is currently not supported).
- No ImageMagick Libraries dependencies anymore.
Bug Fixes
- Opt-Resolution: Parameter -O generates Images (Postscript, PCL, bitmap) quickly with optimal module width and without empty areas.
- Opt-Resolution works for the matrix codes Data Matrix and QR-Code now.
- The TBarCode Library functions BCGetBarCodeWidth(), BCGetBarcodeHeight() and BCGetBarcodeSize() deliver the correct values also when OptResolution is set.
