Version 2.13.0.9 (dev) not released yet
=======================================

**Incompatible changes**
------------------------
- New `memfile` & `memfile_size` fields in `symbol` for use with new output
  option `BARCODE_MEMORY_FILE`

Changes
-------
- BMP: lessen heap memory usage by only `malloc()`ing a row
- GIF: lessen heap memory usage by paging; use standard colour char map
- Add `BARCODE_MEMORY_FILE` to `symbol->output_options` to allow outputting to
  in-memory buffer `symbol->memfile` instead of to file `symbol->outfile`,
  ticket #301

Bugs
----
- raster/BMP/GIF/PCX/TIF: fix dealing with very large data (use `size_t`)
- raster: add `raster_malloc()` to fail > 1GB (avoids very large output files;
  also lessens to some degree chances of being victim of OOM killer on Linux)
- GUI: printing scale dialog: set maxima on X-dim and resolution to keep scale
  <= 200
- BMP/EMF/PCX/TIF: fix endianness on big-endian machines (note TIF now always
  written as little-endian - simplifies testing)
- ITF14/DPLEIT/DPIDENT: ignore `option_2` (check digit options)
- GUI: scalewindow: fix cropping of initial resolution and bound X-dim <= 10


Version 2.13.0 (2023-12-18)
===========================

**Incompatible changes**
------------------------
- Buffer lengths of members `fgcolour` and `bgcolour` in `zint_symbol` extended
  10 -> 16 to allow for "C,M,Y,K" comma-separated decimal percentage strings
- CMYK values for EPS (slightly) and TIF (significantly) have changed - now use
  the same RGB -> CMYK formula
- Text (HRT) placement for vector (EMF/EPS/SVG) output changed - for EAN/UPC
  slightly further away from barcode, for all others slightly nearer. Some
  horizontal alignments of EAN/UPC vector text also tweaked
- Text (HRT) for standalone EAN-2 and EAN-5 now at top of symbol
  (was at bottom)
- Text height (font size) for SMALL_TEXT vector output reduced
- For Windows, filenames are now assumed to be UTF-8 encoded. Affects `outfile`
  in `zint_symbol` and all API filename arguments
- Never-used `fontsize` member removed from `zint_symbol`
- Buffer length of member `text` (HRT) in `zint_symbol` extended 128 -> 200
  (client buffers may need checking/extending)
- Font of text of SVG vector output now "OCRB, monospace" (EAN/UPC) or
  "Arimo, Arial, sans-serif" (all others)
  (was "Helvetica, sans-serif" for both)
- Unintended excess horizontal whitespace of Composite symbols removed, and
  quiet zone settings respected exactly, and centring of HRT (if any) now
  relative to linear part of symbol only rather than whole symbol
- Unlikely-to-be-used `bitmap_byte_length` member removed from `zint_symbol`
  (was only set on BMP output to length of BMP pixel array)
- EXCODE39 now defaults to displaying check digit in Human Readable Text (HRT)
- GS1_128 now warns if data > 48 (GS1 General Specifications max)

Changes
-------
- BMP/EMF/EPS/GIF/PCX/PNG/SVG/TIF/TXT: check for errors on writing to output
  file (ticket #275)
- manual/man page: document octal escape; Code 128 subset/mode -> Code Set
- Add special symbology-specific escape sequences (Code 128 only) 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)
- API/CLI/GUI: allow foreground/background colours to be specified as
  comma-separated decimal percentage strings "C,M,Y,K" where "C", "M" etc. are
  0-100 (ticket #281, 3rd point)
- PCX: add alpha support
- GUI: rearrange some Appearance tab inputs (Border Type <-> Width, Show Text
  <-> Font, Text/Font <-> Printing Scale/Size) to flow more naturally;
  save button "Save As..." -> "Save..." and add icon
- Add `text_gap` option to allow adjustment of vertical gap between barcode and
  text (HRT)
- DAFT: up max to 250 chars
- CLI: use own (Wine) version of `CommandLineToArgvW()` to avoid loading
  "shell32.dll"
- EAN/UPC: add quiet zone indicators option (API `output_options`
  `EANUPC_GUARD_WHITESPACE`, CLI `--guardwhitespace`) (ticket #287)
- EAN-2/EAN-5: HRT now at top instead of at bottom for standalones, following
  BWIPP
- 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 "OCRB, monospace" for EAN/UPC
  and "Arimo, Arial, sans-serif" for all others;
  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
- GUI: use "OCRB" font for EAN/UPC and "Arimo" for all others (was "Helvetica"
  for both); add preview background colour option (default light grey) so as
  whitespace will show up in contrast (access via preview context menu)
- CODE128/common: add `ZINT_WARN_HRT_TRUNCATED` warning
- QRCODE: better assert(), removing a NOLINT (2 left)
- CLI: add some more barcode synonyms for DBAR
- CMake: don't include png.c unless ZINT_USE_PNG (avoids clang warning)
- vector: reduce SMALL_TEXT font height 6 -> 5 to be more like raster;
  reduce antialiasing allowance for `textoffset`;
  adjust text to baseline using values for Arimo rather than percentage
- manual: expand size/alpha details in Section "5.4 Buffering Symbols in Memory
  (raster)" (cf ticket #291); add BSD info
- EXCODE39: change to display check digit in HRT by default
- CODE39/EXCODE39/LOGMARS: new hidden check digit option
- GUI: move some symbology-specific options into Data Tab so separate tab
  unnecessary

  codewords instead of default "de facto"
- manual: add annexes on Qt and Tcl backends

  DAFT/TELEPEN/TELEPEN_NUM: increase allowed lengths

Version 2.8.0 2020-04-10
========================

Changes
-------
(New) Tests for auspost, codablock, composite, dotcode, general, telepen,
  upcean, all output formats
- QR, Han Xin, Grid Matrix: the multi byte compaction schemes (ex: Kanji)
  are used by some decoders as codepage information (Ex: GB2312) and output
  may be translated to UTF-8. This may destroy the data in a not controlable
  manner.
  In consequence, multibyte compaction schemes are disabled by default.
  The new option --fullmultibyte (option_3 = ZINT_FULL_MULTIBYTE) enables this
  optimisation.
- Add new symbology "Ultra Code" with the ability to output colour codes.

Bugs
----

  - Dotcode: overrun in binary mode, overrun in codeword_array buffer
      Correct encoding of HT/FS/GS/RS when shifting to code set B
  - empty or unreadable input file
  - telepen: buffer overflow
  - EANUCC: buffer overflow on multiple + (multiple extension bars)
  - Maxicode: index overrun on numeric compaction
  - CodeOne: Simple i indexing not sp + i in C1_ASCII numeric latch loop.
  - Aztec: free memory
- Ticket 183: Databar stacked separator correction
- Ticket 182: Output bitmap type was char, where some targets assigned 0
  if pixel colour >127 (e.g. negative). API change to use unsigned char.
- HanXin: wrong codepage, gb2312 instead gb18030.
