There has been a small update to the SDK with the release of version 9.3.1.7 of the SoftekBarcodeDLL, libbardecode.so and libbardecode.dylib files. Other files remain at the previous version number. This version contains the following updates since 9.3.1.1:

Improvement to Codabar recognition for higher resolution images where the barcode is close to the edge of the image.

Improvement to the detection of inverted color datamatrix barcodes close to the edge of an image.

Downgrade of zlib to version 1.2.13 from 1.3 (Windows only) to avoid compatibility issues with libpng.

Code 25 – decrease in chance of false positive result in barcodes with more than 3 pixels per module.

• Datamatrix – better detection of barcodes with varying spacing in timer patterns. Reduction in possibility of a false positive datamatrix codes in any of the following cases:
• DataMatrixSearchLevel = 5
• DotDataMatrix = 1 or true
• The size of the grid is 10×10

In the Linux version of the SDK the functions mtScanBarCodeFromBitmap and STReadBarCodeFromBitmap can both now accept bitmaps where bmWidthBytes is not a multiple of 4.
