- updated documentation
- Common text rendering code was factored out of the linear and matrix
renderers into its own resource.
- The ITF-14 encoder's text positioning was fixed.
- The Code 128 encoder's raw mode was fixed.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced to accept top and bottom
for the textyalign option.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced with a textdirection option.
- The linear and matrix renderer were enhanced with support for
extratextsubspace, extratextsplit and extratextlinegaps options corresponding
to the alttext equivalents.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced with alttextsubspace that
allows given characters to be substituted for spaces.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced with alttextsplit and
alttextlinegaps options that may be used to render multi-line blocks of text.
- The GS1 AI linter was realigned with the latest release of the GS1 Syntax
Dictionary.
- The encoder for EAN-8 was changed to forbid the use of a two-digit or
five-digit addon unless a permitaddon option is supplied.
- The high-level encoder for MaxiCode was replaced with a new algorithm
that may result in significantly shorter messages.
- The encoder for Aztec Code was fixed so that punctuation compression
works correctly after a binary sequence.
- The GS1 AI linter now reports the mandatory association specification
that is not being met.
- The baseline of EAN/UPC add-ons is now correctly aligned with the guard
bars in the primary symbol.
- Support for HRI text was added to the GS1 Digital Link variant
symbologies.
- Support for extra text was added to the renlinear and renmatrix renderers.
- The encoder for QR Code was amended to opportunistically raise the error
correction level when better fit to the matrix possible.
