meaning all (CLI "--dmb256=" and "--dmc40=", GUI also (apart
from MAILMARK_2D, which may be added later);

BWIPP/pandoc: update to latest
tests/fuzz: adjust for new DATAMATRIX options
allow for heights smaller than `textoffset` when have add-on
(buffer overflow for raster, outside vector height for vector)
raster: EAN/UPC: make sure don't overwrite add-on stuff when
line-copying guard descenders by limiting copy width
ZBarcode_Encode_Segs: allow for multiple (stacked) rows when
setting absolute minimum height;
state stacked symbols max in error message
DBAR_EXP: check length on encoding method 6 before trying to parse

test suite: make `utf8_to_wide()` same as "backend/output.c" & fix
return vals;
add `QZint::save_to_memfile()` test
`BARCODE_MEMORY_FILE` and use in GUI for pasting to clipboard
instead of creating temporary file
CLI: allow fully case-insensitive "tiff" as filetype (saved as
".tif"), processing up to 4-letter extensions and hopefully
making filetype handling more expected;
simplify `validate_float()` (unneeded 2nd fractional max test);
add some more internal "--test" tests
BWIPP: update to latest (change from ctx to global VM) - zint tests
work as-is, no change
the barcode name table is sorted so binary chop works), adding
`ZINT_HAVE_GS1SE` define to "zint_add_test.cmake" - allows
`test_barcode_symbology()` in "test_args.c" to be a lot less
verbose; `const`-up various variables;
manual: use better MAILMAKE_4S example data and mention special
fixed string international destination
those in "backend/common.h", which are prefixed by `z_` - makes
symbol clashes more unlikely when zint is statically linked
(ticket #337, props Ulrich Becker)
DOTCODE: fix padding allowance (10 -> 52 - probable max 35) to
cover cases with large no. of columns requested and little data,
to prevent `codeword_array` buffer overflow
AZTEC/CODEONE: some code fiddling
general_field: prefix defines with `GF_`, shorten static funcs
prefix `general_field_` -> `gf_`
fields `raw_segs` and `raw_seg_count` instead of `text`, and to
do so for all symbologies, using new common funcs `rt_cpy()` etc.
MICROPDF417: return ECC percentage in top byte of `option_1`

encodation in certain cases (and no pessimizations found so far),
props lyngklip (BWIPP);
fix extended char latching when exactly 3 extended chars at end;
count code set C (not digits) in loop deciding when to
shift/latch to extended for better estimate
AZTEC: return warning if ECC < 5% (due to bit-stuffing when version
given); return error if > 22 layers (Zint 26) for Reader

AZTEC/HANXIN/QRCODE: consolidate different ECC data size tables
into one indexed by ECC
DBAR_EXP: check for reduced length <= 77 up front for better error
message
HANXIN: use `malloc()` rather than `z_alloca()` for large binary
array

`errtxtf()`, `errtxt_adj()` funcs that protect `symbol->errtxt`
from overflow, & try to make error messages more consistent
thru-out, adding more feedback info to many, & use positional
args "%n$" in prep for l10n (maybe);
`is_sane/is_sane_lookup()` -> `not_sane/not_sane_lookup()`,
returning 1-based position (zero on failure) instead of bool;
`long` ints -> plain `int` (except those dealing with `ftell()`,
`fread()` etc) as depend on int being 32-bits already
GUI: in "grpDATF.ui" use "PlainText" rather than "RichText" for
tracker ratio examples as height of text messing up sometimes
manual: clarify Codablock-F length maximum & add examples
docs: README: pandoc 3.5, Ubuntu 24.04
CMake: use "-Wpedantic" for Clang only as GNU complains about
`errtxtf()` positional args "%n$"
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
[f3a982c1dd])

GS1_128: warn if data > 48 (GS1 General Specifications max)
common: `is_extendable()` -> `is_ucpean()`
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)

negative floating pt option (for `--textgap`)
man page: list size detail for matrix symbols (`--vers`)
manual: further fiddling with scaling text; some typos
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

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
