What's new in Barcode Forge 6.91
May 3, 2024
- Missing support for underlined and strikethrough text has been added.
- BugFix: Fixed a problem where the rulers did not scroll with the edit area since v6.71.
New in Barcode Forge 6.9 (Apr 23, 2024)
- PDF files can now be created with CMYK colors. For this purpose, the elements in the label can be assigned CMYK colors in advance, if required with exact specification of the color components on a scale from 0 to 100.
- The database drivers and Excel import libraries have been updated.
- BugFix in Developer Edition: The new launcher introduced in version 6.8 did not wait for the result of the printing process and as a result did not deliver a status code.
- "DataMatrix" and "Aztec" can now use other character sets in addition to the standard ISO 8859-1. With Aztec, this was already possible before, but without the code itself containing character set information (ECI), which is why such codes could only be read with a suitable scanner configuration.
- The "GS1 QR Code" is now generated without an ECI block, as GS1 formatted data is limited to ASCII characters and other character sets are therefore not required.
- For the codes "QR Code" and "Aztec", the message "invalid" is now correctly displayed if the information to be encoded contains characters that cannot be displayed with the chosen character set.
New in Barcode Forge 6.8 (Feb 6, 2024)
- Support for the UPC-E barcode type.
- Important for the Developer Edition: If you have manually defined a custom data folder using "bcf.vmoptions" before, this setting must now be made in the "bcf.ini" file. In the INI file, you will find a pre-commented parameter "AppDataDir" after installation.
- BugFix: Changes to certain parameters for GS1 QR Code and GS1 DataMatrix, including a manually set size, were not permanently saved.
- BugFix: After exiting the "Print on Demand" mode, the main window was not immediately fully restored.
- Numerous minor optimizations.
New in Barcode Forge 6.71 (Dec 6, 2023)
- "Data" Section: New feature "Insert Blank Line" accessible via right-click on the table or Ctrl+PLUS.
- Added to the previous update: When switching between the three alternative label designs, object selection and undo/redo history are retained.
- At a zoom factor of 330% and higher, snap points are also enlarged and made more visible when the grid is active.
- BugFix: If a text object with the "Remove Blank Lines" option enabled had no text at all, the entire label could not be printed due to an internal error.
- Minor improvements.
