non-zero length afterwards;
disallow `READER_INIT` and `EXTRA_ESCAPE_MODE`;
general: add new `z_zero_fill()` func & use;
add new `z_extra_escape_position_fnc1()` helper;
in `z_ct_set_seg_extra_escapes_eci` check position FNC1 whether
or not have ECI

process `EXTRA_ESCAPE_MODE` escaping up front
CODE128: properly fix not switching before FNC1 in 2nd position
after alpha (commit [7b0767])
PLANET/KIX: adapt POSTNET to cater for both

QRCODE: eliminate NOLINTs using some more asserts (clang-tidy-20);
some "de-branching" of loops
general: various code fiddlings, in particular lessen no. of
redundant parenthesized expressions, especially in conditionals,
which reduce rather than aid readibility IMNSHO
manual: mention "--dump" option
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`

new "test_bwipp" test for testing BWIPP against ZXing-C++
`ZINT_WARN_HRT_RAW_TEXT` if set when outputting HRT (ZXing-C++
issue 883, props Axel Waggershauser)
README: Pharmacode -> One-Track, Pharmacode 2-trace -> Two-Track
`BARCODE_PLAIN_HRT` option for `output_options` - for use
primarily by ZXing-C++ but may be generally useful;
centralize setting of HRT using new common `hrt_cpy_nochk()` etc.
routines to ensure `text_length` always set

clang-tidy: update README reflecting above
backend_tcl: use sizeof(primary) to check length; tabs -> spaces
general: various code fiddling
docs: pandoc 3.6.2 -> 3.6.3
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
Initialisation symbol requested for better error message
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
QRCODE: `ecc_level` now 0-based (not 1-based)
MICROQR: consolidate different version end routines into one
`microqr_end()` and use new `microqr_data` table to simplify code
MICROPDF417: use table for max codewords per column
library: centralize all error messages using new `errtxt()`,
`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$" in prep for l10n (maybe);
`is_sane/is_sane_lookup()` -> `not_sane/not_sane_lookup()`,
returning 1-based position (zero on failure) instead of bool;
`long` ints -> plain `int` (except those dealing with `ftell()`,
`fread()` etc) as depend on int being 32-bits already
GUI: in "grpDATF.ui" use "PlainText" rather than "RichText" for
tracker ratio examples as height of text messing up sometimes
manual: clarify Codablock-F length maximum & add examples
docs: README: pandoc 3.5, Ubuntu 24.04
CMake: use "-Wpedantic" for Clang only as GNU complains about
`errtxtf()` positional args "%n$"
MSI_PLESSEY/FLAT/DAFT/TELEPEN/TELEPEN_NUM: increase allowed
lengths to max or near-max possible in 1152 modules for most
(all?) variable length input linear barcodes
USPS_IMAIL: suppress bogus clang-tidy warning re garbage value
(doesn't take `strlen()` into account?)
rename `ZINT_CAP_EXTENDABLE` -> `ZINT_CAP_EANUPC`
(`ZINT_CAP_EXTENDABLE` marked as legacy)
CODE128: increase no. symbol chars max 60 -> 99
EAN-2/EAN-5: fix `BARCODE_BIND_TOP/BIND/BOX` output
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)
BMP/EMF/GIF/PCX/PNG/PS/SVG/TIF: use new `out_colour_get_rgb()`
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`)

barcode and text
- EMF/EPS/SVG/GUI: ignore BOLD_TEXT for EAN/UPC
- DAFT: up max to 250 chars
- EMF/EPS/SVG: fix addon bars placement/length when text hidden
- Qt backend: use `QFontMetrics::horizontalAdvance()` rather than
`boundingRect()` to calc text width (seems to be more accurate)

- output: fix errtxt nos clash;
use array for `out_upcean_split_text()` text parts
- raster/vector: smallify addon text printing logic

LICENSE: move from backend to root and move COPYING to frontend, with
copies in frontend_qt & backend_qt, so in where it applies;
add LICENSE section from manual to root README
- make Sequence Format textbox bigger (on own line)
- suppress question mark in Windows dialogs
AUSPOST: more standard error messages
backend: add & use z_isdigit/upper/lower() macros
docs: 20-bit Unicode -> 21-bit Unicode
- use fixed-length string tables (mostly) instead of (char *) pointer ones
(saves ~40K)
- re-use C128Table for CODABLOCKF and CODE16K
(required removal of Stop character and extra CODE16K-only entry)
- use pointer to destination and copy (memcpy/strcpy(), bin_append_posn())
instead of concatenating (strcat()) (mostly)
- replace last remaining bin_append()s with bin_append_posn();
bin_append() removed
- add length arg to toupper() and expand() (avoids strlen())
- change is_sane() to use table-based flags (avoids an iteration)
- rename lookup() to is_sane_lookup() and change to check and return posns
and use in pointer to destination loops (avoids strcat()s)
- remove special case PHARMA in expand() (dealt with in pharma())
- make #define SILVER/CALCIUM/TECHNETIUM/KRSET etc static strings
- replace strchr() -> posn()
- CODE128: populate destination once in checksum loop; re-use and export
some more routines (c128_set_a/b/c(), c128_put_in_set()) for sharing;
prefix defines (SHIFTA -> C128_SHIFTA etc) and existing exported routines
- use factor XOR toggle trick in checksum calcs (avoids branch)
- raster.c: fill out single 1-pixel row and copy using new draw_bar_line(),
copy_bar_line() routines; similarly in buffer_plot compare previous line &
copy if same (same technique as used to improve non-half-integer scaling,
significant performance increase, (c) codemonkey82);
also done for PNG (BMP/GIF/PCX/TIFF not done)
- raster/vector/output.c: shorten "output_" prefix -> "out_";
sync vector to other raster changes to try to keep source files similar
- 2of5.c: prefix "c25_"
JAPANPOST: return error if input data truncated (backward incompatible)
DAFT: max chars 50 -> 100
common.c: istwodigit() -> is_twodigit()
