2 Recent announcements (from May issue)

2.1 dLSoft Applications from May 2007

 

After careful consideration we have decided that we must make some changes in our line up of applications to reduce the number of versions of dBarcode and dLabel that are required to support Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003 and Vista.

 

The new versions are:

 

dBarcode (v 7.7) - supports Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003 and Vista and support a new range of graphic file formats.

 

dBarcode Suite (replaces dBarcode-2000 and dBarcode-2005) - supports Windows XP/2003 and Vista only and support a new range of graphic file formats.

 

dLabel (replaces dLabel-2000 and dLabel-2005) - supports Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003 and Vista, but all image capture facilities and barcode driver removed.

 

AnyLabels - remains unchanged - requires .NET framework v 2.0 (included in Vista, downloadable for 2000/XP).

 

Really Simple Barcodes v 2.3 - now requires .NET Framework v 2.0 (included in Vista, downloadable for 2000/XP). 

 

Testware versions are available from our web site. Users of the earlier versions may upgrade under our normal terms.

 

2.2 Other product updates

 

Labels.NET products (v 3.0 – now file versions 3.0.0.1) have been updated to allow the developer to perform error checking after errors on printing or saving are caught within the component. This allows the component to be used on web servers without popping up an error dialog from the component.

 

Sadly our recent release versions of the Active Barcode Components, dBarcode DLLs and the dBarcode Developer Kits all contained a bug which allowed a memory leak when saving wmf-type graphics files. This has now been repaired and the following packages replaced:

 

Active Barcode Component (all versions)
dBarcode DLL (all versions, including 64-bit versions)
dBarcode 1D Developer Kit
dBarcode 2D Developer Kit
