1 NEW PRODUCTS – dLSoft supports QR Code

dLSoft is pleased to announce a number of new products to provide QR Code barcodes. QR Code is becoming increasingly popular because of the decision by some mobile phone manufactures to include QR Code recognition in their phones.

 

The following new products are now available for download on our web site:

 

Active Barcode Component – QR

Browser Barcode - QR

dBarcode DLL - QR
dBarcode.NET - QR
dBarcode Java Class – QR

A new version (2.5) of the dLSoft Barcode 2D IMG Server for IIS has been released, and this adds support for QR codes to the 6 other 2D types already supported. Users of the earlier versions may upgrade under our normal terms.

 

Full product details and testware versions are available from our web site.

2 Product updates and bug fixes

An updated version of dBarcode.NET 1D Universal has been release. The new version adds support for Code B, Code 11, ITF-6 and ITF-14 barcodes.

 

An updated version of the Universal Barcode Font kit has been released. The new version adds a .NET component and a Java Class to the DLL, OCX and UFL already included in the kit.

 

dBarcode.NET and Java Class components that support Extended Code 93 have been modified to fix a bug in the display of check digits.

 

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