template, props Dmitry Smirnov (ticket #147, props John Crisp);
TODO: enable building with the GS1 Syntax Engine;
this involved auditing copyrights which prompted the next item
re "tif.c" and will prompt the next next item "pdf417.c"
tif.c: replaced LZW compression with tree-based one due to
"tif_lzw.h"'s original BSD-TAHOE license which has the equivalent
of the "advertising clause", new implementation (which is much
faster anyway) props Harald Kuhr and Bob Montgomery
pdf417.c: TODO: Replace all code adapted from "pdf417.frm" as it
was released under GPL v2.0 or later
pdf417.h: replace unnecessary "pdf417.frm" references with ISO/IEC
standard as 1st step re above, some expanded comments
general: Codablock-F -> Codablock F (i.e. lose hyphen)
cmake: frontend/frontend_qt: go back to only setting RPATH on macOS
as not Debian compatible and it seems it's not a good idea on
Linux anyway; TODO: check BSD + other Unixes
CLI/GUI: make "--verbose" option official and document
tools/gen_eci_sb_h.php/gen_eci_mb_h.php: add SPDX Unicode-3.0;
update haible.de/bruno tarball info - "GB18030.TXT" no longer in
"jdk-1.4.2/" so mention "libiconv-1.11/" version instead (same)

reedsol.c: malloced `logt`/`alog` tables int -> short (slight
performance improvement)
aztec.c: add copyrights, some code fiddling
BWIPP: update to latest
(ticket #347), props Frank Yellin and Rustam Abdullaev;

DATAMATRIX: assert max size on `edges` will fit in unsigned short;
use MASK for DMRE/SQUARE `option_3` setting
PDF417: assert max size on `edges` will fit in unsigned short
GUI: fix setting AZTEC size and ECC combos if not previously set
manual: fix not mentioning AZTEC re `FAST_MODE`;
gs1 mode footnote: mention 3940's length; pandoc -> 3.9
test suite: DOTCODE: account for new BWIPP input length guard
"Unbracketed AI" (caret) options for specifying GS1 input
(ticket #350, props Mario Verbruggen)
DBAR_EXP_CC/DBAR_EXPSTK_CC: fix separator over finder patterns
when linear part is greater than 4 codeblocks
general: left-over raw_text -> content_segs in comments;
update & expand some GS1 General Specs refs;
some minor code fiddling
test suite: suppress some additional ZINT_SANITIZEM false positives
(& add new ZINT_TESTUTIL_SANITIZEM_INIT helpers)
available via "--fast" (input_mode |= FAST_MODE) (ticket #347);

consider Full symbols (not Compact ones) on automatic sizing
GUI: adjust Aztec tab to show feedback by selecting combos and
shorten message to just actual ECC;
grpCodabar min width

manual: make Aztec ECCs more precise, i.e. ">=" rather than ">"
(similarly in GUI)
CLI: code fiddling c -> opt
just 2 digits
cmake: set `rpath` of CLI frontend on macOS install (ticket #346,
props Hagen Röwer)
cmake: make uninstall: update to use `-E rm` if available, warn
rather than fatal error if fail to remove, note if leaving
"/zint" directory unremoved (i.e. "lib/cmake/zint")
library: de-duplicate errtxt no.
test suite: update BWIPP to latest
test suite: test_bwipp: enable & fix dotcode random test
test suite: fuzz: gen_corpora fuzz_data 1st -> 2nd
switching mode or any FNC1 after manual C mode selected and no
other non-C data - found by fuzz test "fuzz_data" - 2nd ever
trophy!
qr.h: fix typo (props https://github.com/crate-ci/typos)
(was dividing instead of multiplying doh);
make "--scalexdimdp" units check error messages better;
add more "--test" tests & have `validate_units()` etc take
`errbuf` arg to make them more test-friendly
GUI: `copy_to_clipboard()` unshadow `data` -> `fdata`
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
`BARCODE_CONTENT_SEGS`, `z_rt_XXX()` -> `z_ct_XXX()`;
move `encoded_data`/`row_height` to end of `zint_symbol`
(see ZXing-C++ issue #883)
manual: update re `content_segs`; `my_symbol` -> `symbol`;
improve MicroPDF417 description
use `tcolorbox` instead of `framed` for latex code blocks, works
much better, especially as now when using a background colour;
reduce gap after figures and force footnotes to bottom of page;
move most symbology figures to after some text to lessen chance
of subsection headers being orphaned on their own at end of page:
required a number of rewordings;
use named barcodes in example commands, rather than numbered;
fix "lua-crossrefs" filter to allow parentheses around
references;
various other fixes and rephrasings
