Changelog --------- v0.16.1 ~~~~~~~ * Switch from ``setup.py`` to ``pyproject.toml``. Only affects how installation from source is performed, and has no runtime impact. v0.16.0 ~~~~~~~ * **Breaking** Drop support for Python 3.7 and 3.8. * Make image DPI configurable. * Fixed inconsistent checksum calculation when calculating the checksum multiple times for EAN barcodes. * Update the documentation with some barcodes that were not previously documented. * Specifying ``None`` as a background for the ``SVGWriter``, no background is included resulting in a transparent background. * Do not paint text if its size would be zero, to avoid an "invalid ppem value" error with newer versions of Pillow. v0.15.1 ~~~~~~~ * Add missing dependency to release script. v0.15.0 ~~~~~~~ * **Breaking** Dropped support for Python 3.6 and 3.7. * Added support for Python 3.11. * Fixed compatibility with Pillow 10.0. * Updated ISBN to support newer allocated ranges. * Improved type hints. v0.14.0 ~~~~~~~ * **Breaking**: The default dimensions have changed slightly. This is so that the results of generating a PNG and an SVG look more alike. * Previous versions included an empty text element for SVGs with no comment. This is no longer the case. * Some internals have been improved so as to allow better subclassing. Subclasses of ``Barcode`` can now override ``default_writer_options`` and ``default_writer()``. * A ``guardbar`` parameter has been added to EAN barcodes. This renders barcodes with guardars (longer bars). * Added support for Python 3.10. * The documentation setup has been redone, hopefully squashing a lot of legacy quirks. * Previous versions installed the `tests` module. This was not intentional and have been fixed. v0.13.1 ~~~~~~~ * Fix a crash when using the ``generate`` shortcut function. v0.13.0 ~~~~~~~ * Added support for transparent backgrounds. This is done by setting the ``mode`` option for a writer to ``RGBA``. * Dropped support for Python 3.5. * Added support for Python 3.9. v0.12.0 ~~~~~~~ * Removed ``writer_options`` from ``barcode.get``. This parameter was not used. * Add a ``with_doctype`` flag to ``SVGWriter``. Set this to false to avoid including a ``DOCTYPE`` in the resulting SVG. * Add support for ``Pillow>=8.0.0``. v0.11.0 ~~~~~~~ * Added basic support for multiline text. * Dropped lots of older compat-only code and other cleanups. * Fixed a bug in the API when combining certain barcodes and writers. * Published documentation again and updated all project references. * Fix python_barcode.get mixups between `options` as `writer_options`. Previously, some writer/barcode combinations worked fine, while others failed. Now all work consistently. * The cli tool has been fixed and should now work as expected again. v0.10.0 ~~~~~~~ * Added support for GS1-128. v0.9.1 ~~~~~~ * Officially support Python 3.7 * Refer to Pillow in the docs, rather than PIL. v0.9.0 ~~~~~~ * Removed buggy ``Barcode.raw`` attribute. * Various CLI errors ironed out. * Make the default value for ``writer_options``` consistent across writers. v0.8.3 ~~~~~~ * Fix pushing of releases to GitHub. v0.8.2 ~~~~~~ * Fix crashes when attempting to use the CLI app. * Properly include version numbers in SVG comments. v0.8.1 ~~~~~~ * Improve README rendering, and point to this fork's location (the outdated README on PyPI was causing some confusion). v0.8.0 ~~~~~~ * First release under the name ``python-barcode``. Previous Changelog ------------------ This project is a fork of pyBarcode, which, apparently, is no longer maintained. v0.8.0 is our first release, and is the latest ``master`` from that parent project. v0.8 ~~~~ * Code 128 added. * Data for charsets and bars moved to subpackage barcode.charsets. * Merged in some improvements. v0.7 ~~~~ * Fixed some issues with fontsize and fontalignment. * Added Python 3 support. It's not well tested yet, but the tests run without errors with Python 3.3. Commandline script added. v0.6 ~~~~ * Changed save and write methods to take the options as a dict not as keyword arguments (fix this in your code). Added option to left align the text under the barcode. Fixed bug with EAN13 generation. v0.5.0 ~~~~~~ * Added new generate function to do all generation in one step. * Moved writer from a subpackage to a module (this breaks some existing code). UPC is now rendered as real UPC, not as EAN13 with the leading "0". v0.4.3 ~~~~~~ * Fixed bug in new write method (related to PIL) and updated docs. v0.4.2 ~~~~~~ * Added write method to support file like objects as target. v0.4.1 ~~~~~~ * Bugfix release. Removed redundancy in input validation. * EAN8 was broken. It now works as expected. v0.4 ~~~~ * Removed \*\*options from writers __init__ method. These options never had effect. They were always overwritten by default_options. * New config option available: text_distance (the distance between barcode and text). v0.4b2 ~~~~~~ * Basic documentation included. The barcode object now has a new attribute called `raw` to have the rendered output without saving to disk. v0.4b1 ~~~~~~ * Support for rendering barcodes as images is implemented. PIL is required to use it. v0.3 ~~~~ * Compression for SVG output now works. v0.3b1 ~~~~~~ * Writer API has changed for simple adding new (own) writers. * SVG output is now generated with xml.dom module instead of stringformatting (makes it more robust). v0.2.1 ~~~~~~ * API of render changed. Now render takes keyword arguments instead of a dict. v0.2 ~~~~ * More tests added. v0.1 ~~~~ * First release.
