• The Ultracode encoder was fixed to refuse the link1 option without raw codewords, which produced symbols that signalled a Symbol Control Region that was absent.
• The Ultracode encoder was enhanced with the adctype option, which links the symbol to an Associated Data Carrier.
• The Ultracode encoder was enhanced with the rows and columns options, which specify the symbol size.
• The Ultracode encoder was changed to raise the error correction level to fill the symbol, unless the new fixedeclevel option is given.
• The Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Aztec Code, Code 16K and Code 49 encoders, and the encoders based on them, were changed to state their quiet zones in the structure that they return.
• The Codablock F encoder was fixed to provide its 10X quiet zones to the left and right of the symbol, which widens the background and the border when they are drawn.
• The renderers were enhanced to record in the report the factors by which grid-fitting rescales the physical dimensions, as gridscale.
