Barcode 2.6.2
08 Apr 2025
Barcode 2.6 goes out of beta, so if you haven’t tried it yet, you’ll get multiline texts and more.
Text Improvements
Barcode got better font styles support. Instead of simple bold/italic options you get a font style selector, so you can utilize all the fonts you have in your system.
Text rendering has been improved to match Adobe Illustrator as close as possible on both Mac and Windows platforms. Note that this might affect some of your designs, especially on Windows. Consider reviewing and adjusting, if needed.
Barcode got multiline texts support. Both automatic and manual wrapping is supported, as well as advanced size-based alignment modes.
Other Changes
Besides the better text rendering, this update comes with other improvements:
- automatic ISBN hyphenation added and enabled by default;
- more manual ISBN formats added;
- automatic addon font size algorithm changed to provide better results;
- column-first mode added to N-Up mode in batch processing;
- GS1 parser supports data without parentheses in batch mode, just make sure there is only one variable length block and it goes last. Otherwise use parentheses for app ids.
