Software-update: Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript 2009-07-14

Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript is, zoals de naam al overduidelijk laat zien, een barcodegenerator voor level 2-Postscript. Een barcode wordt volgens de specificaties van de gebruiker aangemaakt door de 'postscript interpreter', bijvoorbeeld een printer of Ghostscript. Het programma ondersteunt diverse formaten, zoals code 128, isbn-13/10, Maxicode, pdf417 en zelfs kix, dat door TNT Post wordt gebruikt. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we jullie door naar deze quick guide, en een webbased frontend is op deze pagina te bewonderen. Terry Burton heeft een nieuwe versie van Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript met 2009-07-14 als versienummer uitgebracht. De lijst met veranderingen sinds de vorige vermelding in de Meuktracker ziet er als volgt uit:

Version 2009-07-14:
The GS1 DataBar Limited default height was changed to match the minimum permitted height.

Version 2009-07-12:
Added support for GS1 DataBar Truncated to the rss14 encoder with option format=truncated.
Added support for GS1 DataBar Stacked to the rss14 encoder with option format=stacked.
Added support for GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional to the rss14 encoder with option format=stackedomni.

Version 2009-07-06-1:
Fixed bug in the padding of maxicode symbols where the data terminates in code set C, D or E.
Cleaned up the maxicode implementation by inlining the high-level encoding procedure.

Version 2009-07-06:
The font height calculation performed by the linear renderer was improved.
The human readable text for OneCode symbols was improved to match the specification.

Version 2009-07-03-2:
The pad characters from character set B were disambiguated.

Version 2009-07-03-1:
A bug with the ordinal parser in the maxicode encoder was fixed.

Version 2009-07-03:
An autoencoder was added to the maxicode encoder.

Version 2009-06-22:
C40, TEXT and X12 encoders were added to datamatrix.

Version 2009-06-21:
Added checksum support to ean8 encoder.
Fixed breakage in ean8 when includetext not in use.

Version 2009-06-20-1:
Fix looping in datamatrix ASCII-mode encoder.

Version 2009-06-20:
The ASCII-mode encoder for datamatrix was improved to compact pairs of digits.

Version 2009-06-19:
An EDIFACT-mode autoencoder was added to the datamatrix encoder.

Version 2009-06-03:
A byte-mode autoencoder was added to the datamatrix encoder and set as default.

Version 2009-05-20:
A byte-mode-only autoencoder was added to the pdf417 encoder to simplify the use of the pdf417 encoder for common tasks.

Version 2009-05-17:
A byte-mode-only autoencoder was added to the azteccode encoder to simplify the use of the azteccode encoder for common tasks.
