* random include cleanup
* cleanup 64-bit compile warnings in zebraimg (bug #1712504)
* add first-pass partial support for Code 128
- separate out more EAN state from shared state
- internal interface changes
- finish dynamic buffer management
- add shared resource locking
- add Code 128 to test_decode program
=> still needs additional functionality and plenty of debug
=> reading both Code 128 *and* EAN still destabilized
* add diagnostic program test_video to dump more verbose video debug
* incorporate documentation into Debian package
- thanks to V�t Hrachov� for the patch!
* fix VPATH doc builds (requires automake-1.10 and autoconf-2.61)
* build and dist fixes
- suppress documentation rebuilds in distributed sources
* add Debian packaging sources - thanks to V�t Hrachov� for the patch!
* add DocBook template and build infrastructure
* add manpages for zebracam and zebraimg
* add GNU standard options to zebracam and zebraimg
* internal decoder restructuring to support additional symbologies
- separated out 1-D decoder infrastructure into generic internal API
- moved EAN/UPC specific decoding into it's own module
* fix confusing configure behavior which quietly avoided building
targets with missing dependencies(?!)
configure will now fail with a descriptive error message if you
do not have Magick++ and fail to specify --without-imagemagick or
do not have SDL and fail to specify --without-sdl
* add configure summary describing what will be built (req #1698196)
* fix parity encoding in test_decode and add decoded symbol output
* introduce Code 128 symbol type
* increase width of zebra_symbol_type_t to 16 bits
* add HACKING (bug #1698202)
version 0.1:
* add NEWS and ChangeLog
* fix some config/build issues found on other boxes
* add missing ImageWalker install
* fix scanner runaway threshold calculation bug
* fix zebracam/zebraimg bugs overwriting currently scanning image w/scan
pattern
* add c++ interface to img_walker
* apply ImageWalker to zebraimg
* add decoder soft reset on partial mismatch
* finish basic decoder symbol assembly/reporting
* add decoder symbol checksum verification
* add callback API option to decoder for "async" symbol processing
* add "image walker" library API to trace scan pattern over 2D images
* apply image walker to zebracam (C++/zebraimg scan pattern still TBD)
* add audio feedback to zebracam (still has long latency)
* add zebracam key cmd to dump frame to file (for debugging)
* fixes for decoder/scanner reset/new_scan
* fixes to scanner initialization and algorithm tweaks
* made decoder less sensitive to violated quiet-zone
* apply zebraimg workaround for imagemagick image display bug
* add string names for symbol types to library and API to access them
* add dbg_scan test program for visually debugging image scanner (and
decoder)
* add test_walk for basic image walker sanity/debug
* removed recursive makes in favor of monolithic build
* renamed some makefiles accordingly
* finished some final symbol data construction
* added result callbacks to decoder APIs for data reporting
* zebraimg hooks into callback
* zebracam still seems to "hang" in undecodeable state?
* populate svn with current sources.
* most of the basic functionality is included and working.
* still need to combine final decode data, finish addons, etc (see TODO).
* c++ wrappers are included and tested, but API may need tweaked.
* zebraimg and zebracam basically working but need cleanup/polish.
* need to create some basic documentation...
* initial repository layout
