[glabels] / glabels2 / barcode-0.98 / ChangeLog

2002-03-01  Alessandro Rubini  <rubini@linux.it>

        * library.c (Barcode_Encode): handle bitsets separately, like
                in Barcode_Print (otherwise, you might loose NO_CHECKSUM).

        * debian/changelog: moved to 0.98 (but should fix all debian/ stuff)

        * contrib/barcode-for-delphi.tar.gz: new, contributed by Michael Geddes

        * contrib/barcode-for-delphi.tar.gz.README: short info for file above

        * main.c (main): allow "-g" to set size of code in a table as well
                -- suggested and initiallt implemented by Joachim Reichelt.
        (main): fixed missing "Page: 1 1" in postscript for tables
        (main): for tables don't use Encode_and_Print, use a local
                unrolled version, so the default margin can be removed and
                we avoid problems with negative xoff in the output phase
                (first column may be offset, as noted by Karl Magnus Kolstoe)

        * doc/doc.barcode: documented change above.
        
        * README: removed refernces to systemy.it, I'm no more there
        Added link to FreeBSD ports tree and GLabels
        Organized as sections with titles

        * contrib/barcode-SVG.tar.gz: new contribution, by David J. Humphreys

        * contrib/barcode-SVG.tar.gz.README: short description of file above

        * contrib/grab-0.0.4.tar.gz: new program, by Tuukka Toivonen.

        * contrib/grab-0.0.4.tar.gz.README: short description of file above

2001-11-06  Christoph Pross  <c.pross@beck-ipc.com>

        * pcl.c (Barcode_pcl_print): bugfix: bars were misplaced

        Removed also a few extra newlines that made bad man pages

2001-10-16  Andrea Scopece  <a.scopece@vizzavi.it>

        * barcode.h: added BARCODE_OUT_PCL and BARCODE_OUT_PCL_III

        * library.c (Barcode_Print): use BARCODE_OUT_PCL to select pcl_print()

        * Makefile.in (LIBOBJECTS): added pcl.o

        * pcl.c: new file, with PCL output support

2001-10-16  Alessandro Rubini  <rubini@linux.it>

        * doc/doc.barcode (Supported Encodings): added documentation for
                EAN and UPC with checksum, as coded by mr. Böszörményi (below)

2001-10-16  Boszormenyi Zoltan <zboszor@externet.hu>

        * ean.c: 

        I found that barcode-0.96 does not correctly encodes UPC-E.
        This was mainly because in upc_e_to_a() the switch() branches
        all ended without "break;".

        Printing UPC-E did not print the leading encoding number and
        the trailing UPC-A checksum. Now it does.

        Accept EAN-13 and EAN-8 with and without the checksum.
        So always treat 7 and 12 digit sequences as valid EAN codes
        and accept 8 and 13 digit sequences as valid EAN codes when
        the last digit is the same as the calculated one.

        Accept UPC-A as above (11 or 12 digit sequences.)

        Accepts UPC-E as:
        6 digit sequence: the middle part of the code (leading '0' assumed)
        7 digit sequence: the middle part and either a leading '0' or '1',
            or a trailing UPC-A checksum. In that case, leading '0' assumed.
        8 digit sequence: a leading '0' or '1', middle part, checksum

        UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, and EAN-8 may all include
        an additional barcode to the right of the main barcode.

        As a 7 or a 12 digit sequence may be ambiguous, please remember
        that EAN is checked before UPC if you specified BARCODE_ANY.

2001-08-20  Alessandro Rubini  <rubini@linux.it>

        * sample.c (main): added upc-e and ean-8 samples

2001-08-11  Boszormenyi Zoltan <zboszor@externet.hu>

2000-11-29  Alessandro Rubini  <rubini@morgana.systemy.it>

        * doc/doc.barcode (The Field List): 1pt == 0.352mm, not 0.0352
                (thanks to Stephen Irven for reporting)

        Documented the new encodings by Leonid.
        Promoted two sections to chapters
        Added Leonid in the AUTHORS section of the manpage.

        * Makefile.in: don't remove docs in distclean, as the distribution
                now includes the docs
        
2000-11-07  Alessandro Rubini  <rubini@morgana.systemy.it>

        * Makefile.in (clean): don't remove docs, do that only in distclean

2000-10-10  Alessandro Rubini  <rubini@morgana.systemy.it>

        * doc/manpager: use gsub instead of gensub, even though it may
                leas to problems with some input. This achieves compatibility

2000-10-02  Alessandro Rubini  <rubini@morgana.systemy.it>

        * ps.c (Barcode_ps_print): add a backslash in front of '(' too.

                Oliver Vecernik <vecernik@aon.at>.

2000-09-14  Alessandro Rubini  <rubini@morgana.systemy.it>

        * barcode.h: added the standard  ``extern "C"'' stuff for C++

        * doc/Makefile: modified to build with both gmake and pmake

        * ps.c (Barcode_ps_print): fix: codes with (relatively) short bars
                were enlarged in height instead of reduced in width (also
                the enlarging was wrong). Thanks to Rob Seace for reporting.
