- Now builds with class file format version 1.2 -- may solve some compatibility issues?
- Fixed obfuscation step bug causing NoClassDefFoundError
0.1.4 (13 Dec 2007)
- Added Blackberry client build script -- does not yet work
- Big change to handling of content of barcodes:
- com.google.zxing.client.result moved from core-ext to core
- Rewritten for J2ME
- core-ext removed
- J2ME client now uses this code for better parsing/handling of results
0.2 (07 Jan 2008)
- Few small bug fixes in AlignmentPatternFinder, MultiFormatReader
(thank K. Kakima, Andreas)
- LCDUIImageMonochromeBitmapSource now public
- Notably improved decoding for Basic version -- Regular version still
your best bet if you can run it though
0.2.1 (16 Jan 2008)
- Slight tweaks and enhancements to decode and runtime performance of UPCDecoder
- Added black-box test suites against a known set of images
(Thanks to Enrique G. S. for additional images)
0.2.2 (22 Jan 2008)
- Now includes junit locally to build tests

0.4 (15 Feb 2008)
- First release of Android client -- only guaranteed to work with "M3"
builds so far.
- Major reorganization of current test cases and data
- Worked around ProGuard issue with paths with spaces on Windows
- Phones that don't like FocusControl.AUTO_LOCK won't cause an error now
- Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in 1D barcode decoders
- Worked around "java.lang.Error 136" from Nokia N70 (?)
- Fixed bug in Shift_JIS detection and implemented basic UTF-8 detection
for nonstandard QR Codes that don't use ISO-8859-1
0.4.5 (22 Feb 2008)
- Checked in first minimal working Blackberry client. Still quite crude.
- Fixed UTF-8 detection again
- Refactored Reed-Solomon to allow different GF(256) primitive polynomials,
in preparation for Data Matrix

improvements to Code 128 decoding

in certain situations
- Now supports Extended Code 39
- Tiny bug fix to QRCodeReader for images that extend all the way
to top or left
- 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)

better use of threads

- 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

- 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.

- Unit tests now use local copies of images
0.9 (11 July 2008)
