Databar Stacked Codes Generation/Recognition & Patch Code Encoding in Java Apps

What’s new in this release?

The new version of Aspose.BarCode for Java 6.8.0 has been released. This new release supports the DataBar Stacked, DataBar Expanded and DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional symbologies. Our users can now add encoding and decoding operations to their Java applications. DataBar stacked is a variation of the RSS-14 symbology that is stacked in two rows and is used when the normal symbol would be too wide for the application. This new release also supports encoding of Patch Code symbology, includes a new Line Codes Restoration filter, allows to check the license status. Previously, we were providing two jar files. One for the JDK 1.4 and higher versions and other for the JDK 1.6 and higher versions. In this new release, we have dropped the support of JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5. Since, we have provided a single jar for JDK 1.6 or higher versions. It is because both JDKs are discontinued by Sun/Oracle. Even commercial (non-open) support of JDK 1.5 is dropped about a year ago. If you are presently using JDK 1.4.x or 1.5.x, you must upgrade your JDK prior to migrating to this new release. It also supports DataBar Stacked, DataBar Expanded Stacked and DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional Symbologies. We’ve added encoding support of Patch code symbology, whereas decoding capability is already present. The Patch Codes aid in batch scanning of documents. It is a specific barcode and often is used in whole pages. We’ve added a new Line Codes Restoration filter. This filter restores corrupted strokes for 1D barcodes. This degradation could come from dirty, dusty products or discarded barcode resulting in touched or missing parts of the bars. The major areas include enhancing of the barcode image,  improve accuracy of recognition, stop cropping of code text while change in resolution and improve recognition performance. This release comprises a number of key fixes that help us reading and writing capabilities.  Below is the list of main improved features and bug fixes added in this release.
  • Add support for Databar stacked codes generation/recognition
  • String index out of range error message while generating a Code128 symbology
  • code39 barcode not found from scanned tif image
