+libqrencode NEWS - Overview of changes
+======================================
+
+Version 3.1.0 (2009.6.6)
+------------------------
+* Various code cleanups and performance improves.
+* Strict internal error checks have been added.
+* "--without-tests" has become default setting. Specify "--with-tests" to
+ compile test programs.
+* Some memory leak bugs have been fixed.
+
+Release Note:
+
+This release focuses on the code cleanup and performance improve. Encoding time
+has been improved, drastically in large symbols. Basically this update only
+changes its internal code. The API is not changed, no need to recompile user
+applications that includes only qrencode.h. If your application refers the
+internal data representation (not recommended), see ChangeLog for further
+information.
+
+Version 3.0.3 (2008.6.1)
+------------------------
+* Portability enhancement. (Thanks to Gavan Fantom)
+* The command line tool "qrencode" now accepts long options. See the man page
+ for the detailed instruction.
+
+Release Note:
+
+This release improves the portability of our command line tool "qrencode".
+The library is not changed so that any applications using libqrencode are not
+affected.
+
+From this release, qrencode accepts "long" options, such as "--help". See the
+manpage for the detailed instructions.
+
+Qrencode now uses getopt_long() instead of getopt_long_only() which is not
+available in some operating systems. If the getopt_long() is not provided or
+the implementation of it is not compatible with GNU's one, please try
+qrencode-3.0.3-gnulib, that contains the source code of the getopt_long().
+Gnulib version is a test release. If you feel happy with it, please let us know
+and the future releases will include gnulib.
+
+Version 3.0.2 (2008.5.18)
+-------------------------
+* Some compile-time warnings/erros with g++ have been fixed.
+ (Thanks to wangsai)
+* The bit order of "Version information" has been corrected.
+ Symbols greater than version 6 were affected. (Thanks to Paul Janssesn)
+* The "--without-tests" option has been added to the configure script.
+
+Version 3.0.1 (2008.5.9)
+------------------------
+* A bug fix for non-POSIX platform. (Thanks to Paul Janssens)
+* The RPM spec file now packages the man page correctly.
+
+Version 3.0.0 (2008.4.30)
+-------------------------
+* The interface of QRencode_encodeInput() has been changed. User applications
+ using it must be modified.
+* Structured append support has been added. (patches from Yusuke Mihara)
+* The "-S" option for structured append has been added to qrencode and
+ view_qrcode.
+* Some functions now set errno to indicate errors.
+* Some bug fixes.
+
+Release Note:
+
+Now libqrencode supports "structured-append" of symbols. A large data set can
+be split into multiple QR code symbols. The basic usage of structured-append
+is not so different from the single symbol encoding: just call
+QRcode_encodeStringStructured() or QRcode_encodeString8bitStructured() and
+they return a list of symbols. Instead of giving a string, you can encode
+an explicitly typed data. See the manual generated by Doxygen for the detailed
+usage.
+
+Many thanks to Yusuke Mihara, who contributed a patch to add support of
+structured-append to version 1.0.2.
+
+API changes:
+* Incompatible API changes:
+ - QRencode_encodeInput
+* New types:
+ - QRinput_Struct
+ - QRcode_List
+* New functions:
+ - QRinput_new2
+ - QRinput_Struct_new
+ - QRinput_Struct_setParity
+ - QRinput_Struct_appendInput
+ - QRinput_Struct_free
+ - QRinput_Struct_insertStructuredAppendHeaders
+ - QRinput_splitQRinputToStruct
+ - QRcode_encodeStructuredInput
+ - QRcode_encodeStringStructured
+ - QRcode_encodeString8bitStructured
+ - QRcode_List_size
+ - QRcode_List_free
+* Declarations moved to qrencode.h:
+ - QRinput_getErrorCorrectionLevel
+ - QRinput_setErrorCorrectionLevel
+ - QRinput_getVersion
+ - QRinput_setVersion
+
+Version 2.0.0 (2008.1.24)
+--------------------------
+Summary:
+* "-i" option to ignore case distinctions has been added to qrencode and
+ view_qrcode.
+* "-c" option (case-sensitive mode) of qrencode is now enabled by default and
+ has been improved. See details in Release Note section.
+* "-8" option has been added to qrencode to encode whole data in 8-bit mode.
+* tests/view_qrcode now accepts various options like qrencode.
+* Man page has been added.
+* Code cleanup.
+* The mask evaluation bug has been fixed. (Philippe Delcroix)
+
+* API changes
+ - QRcode_encodeString() now receives case-sensitive flag.
+ - QRcode_encodeStringCase() has been removed.
+ - QRcode_encodeString8bit() has been added.
+
+Release Note:
+
+Previously libqrencode encodes lower-case alphabet characters in Alphabet-
+Numeric mode (upper-case alphabet and numeric) by default. According to the
+specification of QR code, however, it is clearly claimed that Alphabet-Numeric
+mode provides only upper-case alphabet (+ numeric and some symbol) characters.
+Since this version, libqrencode distinguishes lower-case and upper-case of
+alphabet characters by default. Because of that, "-c" option of qrencode
+is now deprecated, and "-i" option has been added. By giving "-i", qrencode
+converts lower-case characters to upper-case if possible, then encode a QR code
+symbol. Please read qrencode.h for the details about API changes if you are
+going to use this library.
+
+Many thanks to NANKI Haruo for his suggestions.
+
+Version 1.0.2 (2007.03.24)
+--------------------------
+* A small bug fix. (Thanks to NANKI Haruo)
+* 'extern "C"' barrier has been added to qrencode.h.
+
+Version 1.0.1 (2006.12.27)
+--------------------------
+* Added "force 8-bit encoding mode".
+* Configure script finds libpng's header correctly.
+
+Version 1.0.0 (2006.12.12)
+--------------------------
+* The first public release.
