Barcode 2.6.1 beta
24 Mar 2025
The update adds multiline text support, improves ISBN barcodes and batch processing.
Multiline Text Support
Custom texts got multiline support via the new Mode parameter that lets you switch between single line, multiple lines and wrapped text. The latter lets you specify the width to wrap the text automatically.
This also works for batch processing, so multiline text in spreadsheet will appear multiline in Barcode, if the specific mode is enabled.
ISBN 13 Improvements
ISBN barcodes got automatic hyphenation support which is now enabled by default for new barcodes. The software detects the country and registrant of the ISBN code and hyphenate it accordingly.
You can still use the manual formatting, if needed. One more format is added to the list.
Addon Font Changes
For barcodes with addons (EAN-13, ISBN, UPC-A) the automatic font size algorithm has been updated, so you might notice a subtle change in font size there.
Batch Processing Improvements
Column–first mode added to the batch processor if the barcodes are exported to a single file. You can now order them in columns instead of rows there.
GS1 parser improved to process codes without parentheses. There is a limitation that variable length block must be only one and go last. Otherwise you need to manually specify AppIDs with parentheses.
Some minor issues were fixed in batch processor related to overwriting existing files and logging.
