Barcode Reader Toolkit Version 6.1.1 for Windows Released
- PDF Conversion – The ScanBarCode method now uses the PDF Extension to convert the pdf document at 8 bits per pixel.
- ZIP Compression – The toolkit now supports TIF documents that use ZIP compression.
- ScanDirection Mask Change – The managed component interface has been modified to interpret the ScanDirection mask in the same way as the standard windows dll. This may mean that some applications will need changing if they use the managed component and set a non-default value for the mask. If in doubt then please contact support@bardecode.com for further information.
- Percentage mapping Mode for SetScanRect – A new mapping mode is now available for SetScanRect. If a value of 1 ise used for the mapping mode then the units are treated as a percentage of the width or height of the image.
- SoftekATL COM Object Trial Version – The trial version of the SoftekATL COM Object has been modified to prevent the display of the trial version dialog box, which caused problems for web servers. The new trial version replaces the last 3 characters of the barcode with a * character.
- HBITMAP and DIB Support in the Managed Component – The managed component interface now supports the ScanBarCodeFromBitmap and ScanBarCodeFromDIB methods.
- UPC-E Recognition – A bug that prevented the recognition of valid UPC-E barcodes has been fixed.
- Images with Small Height – The toolkit now correctly handles images with a height of less than 4 pixels.
- Old JPEG Compression – If a TIF file contains pages that use old jpeg compression then the return value will either be the number of barcodes found on other pages or, if no other barcodes were found, a value of -5.
- Code 39 and Code 25 Recognition – The algorithms for Code 39 and Code 25 have been improved to cope better with poor quality barcodes.
- Memory Leak in the .Net Component – A memory leak has been fixed in the .Net component. The memory was leaked each time an instance of the component was destroyed.
