Zint is a suite of programs to allow easy encoding of data in any of the wide range of public domain
barcode standards and to allow integration of this capability into your own programs. This version

PROJECT STATUS
--------------
Contrary to previous thoughts this project is very much active again. This release signifies the
first step in a complete re-think of the API. If you have written applications which take advantage
of the Zint API then please make appropriate alterations. Details are given on the news page of the
project website.
This release features a complete rebuild of QR Code and Micro QR Code functionality which now:
* Automatically detects and adjusts to Japanese characters
* Supports GS1 encoding
* Does not require the qrencode library.
Also new in this release is Grid Matrix support which similarly supports Chinese character encoding.
Work is now continuing on making the library more useful for those who want to encode characters
beyond the ASCII set. Also in the plan is to bring QR Code encoding within the library and thereby
remove the dependence on libqrencode for this. Once this is achieved then Grid Matrix will be the
next symbology to be added. By this time I hope to have achived a much more smooth mechanism for
encoding both Japanese and Chinese character sets.
