28 - Few small bug fixes in AlignmentPatternFinder, MultiFormatReader
29 (thank K. Kakima, Andreas)

32 your best bet if you can run it though
35 - Slight tweaks and enhancements to decode and runtime performance of UPCDecoder
36 - Added black-box test suites against a known set of images
37 (Thanks to Enrique G. S. for additional images)
40 - Now includes junit locally to build tests

58 - Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in 1D barcode decoders
59 - Worked around "java.lang.Error 136" from Nokia N70 (?)
60 - Fixed bug in Shift_JIS detection and implemented basic UTF-8 detection
61 for nonstandard QR Codes that don't use ISO-8859-1
64 - Checked in first minimal working Blackberry client. Still quite crude.
65 - Fixed UTF-8 detection again
66 - Refactored Reed-Solomon to allow different GF(256) primitive polynomials,
67 in preparation for Data Matrix
68 - Slight improvement to 1D decoding accuracy, most noticeable in

76 - Android client now builds with ProGuard optimization
79 - Improvement in QR Code decoding accuracy on non-JSR-234 phones
80 - Supports "URLTO" data in barcodes.
81 - Restructured ParsedReaderResult parsing code to not use so many
82 exceptions, for more efficiency.
83 - "TRY_HARDER" decoding hint now supported. Will do more work in some cases
84 to find an image, such as scan for 1D barcodes at a right angle and
85 backwards. Only recommended for non-mobile applications.

87 BarcodeFormat instance
88 - More intelligent handling of POSSIBLE_FORMATS decoding hint
89 - Fixed sub-optimal handling of EAN-13 barcodes which encode a string
90 starting with "0". These are now returned as a full 13-digit string
91 from EAN13Reader, but will continue to be construed as 12-digit UPC-A
92 codes from the MultiFormatReader.
93 - A host of small bug fixes, including bug in Version 25 QR Code support

113 - Bug fix to corner-case of perspective transformation code
114 - Now attempts to configure camera's exposure controls if available
115 - Fixed rotation transform used in "try harder" mode; result did not
116 contain the whole image
117 - "Try harder" mode tries 2D formats first to avoid false positives
118 in detailed search for 1D codes, in some cases
119 - More aggressive inlining by ProGuard, notable performance boost
120 - Small Reed-Solomon optimizations for 0- and 1-error case
121 - Refactored GridSampler out into common package for use by Data Matrix
122 - GridSampler now smarter about bounds checking and point nudging;
123 should avoid some ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException issues
127 - Added support for MobileTag message formats
128 - Added source to zxing.org
129 - Significant work on Android clients, including UI overhaul and
131 - Bug fix: ResultPoints from 1D barcodes were wrong
132 - SKIP_N_BARCODES hint now gone, and associated logic has been transferred
133 to individual project users, as it is fairly app-specific at this point
134 and is beginning to complicate the core library. We can help other users
135 who need this functionality on a case-by-case basis.

149 - Small bug fix / improvement in BlackPointEstimator's estimates
150 - 1D decoding now applies a light sharpening filter
151 - Refactored and simplified MonochromeBitmapSource implementations
152 - Removed android-m3/ directory, no longer in active development. The current
153 Android client remains in android/ (M5 SDK)
154 - Restored ability to read upside-down 1D codes without try-harder mode
155 - Added a crude GUI-based decoder to javase/, for the interested

174 - Merged "basic" and "regular" J2ME readers into one unified app that should
175 work on platforms with and without JSR-234 support
