It is the first release after quite a long time. The most important new features are: - DataMatrix support - PDF417 support - Royal Mail Customer Barcode support - EAN-128 support - Updated extension for Apache FOP 0.93 and later - Updated extension for SAXON 8.7 and later - Support for barcode orientation A detailed list of changes can be found here: http://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/changes.html I would like to ask the community for positive and negative feedback on the new release. The code is extensively tested but due to some new areas (notably the new 2D symbologies) please take care before considering this release for use in production. If you stick to the previously supported symbologies, you should be safe, though. I expect the final release to happen within the next three months depending on the amount of feedback I get. So please test the new stuff and tell me about your experience! If you like Barcode4J and can put it to good use, please consider a donation to me (the amount is your choice). I've bought a barcode scanner which supports all symbologies supported by Barcode4J so I can better test the software. And that has to be paid somehow. :-) http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?user_id=225352 Special thanks to Thunderhead Ltd (http://www.thunderhead.com) for sponsoring some of the new symbologies! And thanks to the latest contributors to help improve Barcode4J! More help is always welcome! Enjoy!
