+ - Android client now builds with ProGuard optimization
+
+0.5 (05 Mar 2008)
+ - Improvement in QR Code decoding accuracy on non-JSR-234 phones
+ - Supports "URLTO" data in barcodes.
+ - Restructured ParsedReaderResult parsing code to not use so many
+ exceptions, for more efficiency.
+ - "TRY_HARDER" decoding hint now supported. Will do more work in some cases
+ to find an image, such as scan for 1D barcodes at a right angle and
+ backwards. Only recommended for non-mobile applications.
+ - Result now indicates the format of the decoded barcode with a
+ BarcodeFormat instance
+ - More intelligent handling of POSSIBLE_FORMATS decoding hint
+ - Fixed sub-optimal handling of EAN-13 barcodes which encode a string
+ starting with "0". These are now returned as a full 13-digit string
+ from EAN13Reader, but will continue to be construed as 12-digit UPC-A
+ codes from the MultiFormatReader.
+ - A host of small bug fixes, including bug in Version 25 QR Code support
+ - A round of code cleanup and refactoring from IntelliJ inspections
+
+0.5.5 (12 Mar 2008)
+ - Revert change that rejected BufferedImage of type TYPE_CUSTOM in javase
+ - Now supports KDDI/AU / Softbank address book format
+ - Now can read Android "Intent" URIs (Android only)
+ - Modest improvements to efficiency of J2ME client: shorter autofocus,
+ better use of threads
+ - First checkin of Data Matrix decoder code. Not yet enabled in reader
+ applications.
+ - "Result" object now returns raw bytes decoded; maybe useful in some cases
+ - More unit tests for common code, EAN-8, UPC-E
+
+0.6 (28 Mar 2008)
+ - Updated android client to work on latest M5 SDK; M3-compatiable version
+ preserved in android-m3
+ - Added tel: URL support to clients
+ - Added geo: URL support; only enabled for Android client so far
+ - Added initial support for short NDEF messages, but not yet enabled
+ - Bug fix to corner-case of perspective transformation code
+ - Now attempts to configure camera's exposure controls if available
+ - Fixed rotation transform used in "try harder" mode; result did not
+ contain the whole image
+ - "Try harder" mode tries 2D formats first to avoid false positives
+ in detailed search for 1D codes, in some cases
+ - More aggressive inlining by ProGuard, notable performance boost
+ - Small Reed-Solomon optimizations for 0- and 1-error case
+ - Refactored GridSampler out into common package for use by Data Matrix
+ - GridSampler now smarter about bounds checking and point nudging;
+ should avoid some ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException issues
+ - More unit tests
+
+0.7 (5 May 2008)
+ - Added support for MobileTag message formats
+ - Added source to zxing.org
+ - Significant work on Android clients, including UI overhaul and
+ continuous scan mode
+ - Bug fix: ResultPoints from 1D barcodes were wrong
+ - SKIP_N_BARCODES hint now gone, and associated logic has been transferred
+ to individual project users, as it is fairly app-specific at this point
+ and is beginning to complicate the core library. We can help other users
+ who need this functionality on a case-by-case basis.
+ - Bug fix in AddressBookAUParsedResult parsing
+ - Possible workaround for NoSuchMethodError on Nokias
+ - New shell of an iPhone client committed
+ - ... and other assorted small improvements and fixes
+
+0.8 (16 Jun 2008)
+ - FinderPatternFinder now isn't fooled by false-positive finder patterns
+ in some rare cases
+ - Added SMSTO: support, expanded mailto: support to include subject and body
+ params
+ - Now should properly unescape URLs in appropriate cases; better handling of
+ mailto: and tel: URIs (won't get modified by the library)
+ - Optimized 1D decoding to use integer math
+ - Small bug fix / improvement in BlackPointEstimator's estimates
+ - 1D decoding now applies a light sharpening filter
+ - Refactored and simplified MonochromeBitmapSource implementations
+ - Removed android-m3/ directory, no longer in active development. The current
+ Android client remains in android/ (M5 SDK)
+ - Restored ability to read upside-down 1D codes without try-harder mode
+ - Added a crude GUI-based decoder to javase/, for the interested
+ - core/ is now independent of MIDP; only requires CLDC 1.1
+ - Added optimized build of core library
+ - Unit tests now use local copies of images
+
+0.9 (11 July 2008)
+ - First draft of iPhone client committed
+ - core module now built in a way that makes it function as an OSGi bundle,
+ and also supports deployment in BugLabs's BUG platform.
+ - Added client for BUG platform courtesy of buglabs.net
+ - Big refactoring of com.google.zxing.client.result to separate idea of result
+ parser from result value objects
+ - Added basic vCard 2.1 support
+ - Added basic BIZCARD format support
+ - Added basic iCal format support
+ - Added new calendar event parsed result type
+ - Fewer false positives in 1D detectors, notably Code 39 and Code 128;
+ new unit tests for false positives
+ - Now parses and tries to act on ECI designators in QR Codes
+ - Merged "basic" and "regular" J2ME readers into one unified app that should
+ work on platforms with and without JSR-234 support
+ - Removed dependence on Ant 1.7 (1.6 needed now)
+ - Web application at zxing.org now shows raw bytes
+ - Far more black box tests
+ - Assorted small bug fixes
