+0.19 2022-08-23 - The parse option was extended to perform replacement
+ of control character names such as ^NUL and ^RS with their ASCII value.
+ - The horizontal alignment of text in matrix symbols was fixed.
+ - Various fixes were made for the encoding of Data Matrix, DotCode and Micro QR Code symbols.
+ - The encoding of QR Code symbols was optimised.
+ - The encoding of Rectangular Micro QR Code symbols was aligned with the final release of the specification.
+ - The linear render now uses filled polygons rather than stroked lines.

+ - Support was added for USPS FIM E marks.
+ - Support for AI (715) was added to the GS1 linter.
+ - Ultracode tile colours are now defined as RGB rather than CMYK. New tile colour patterns are defined for the upcoming revision.

+ - Linting for GS1 AI syntax data was added.
+ - A bug in the compact encoding methods 0110X for GS1 DataBar Expanded formats was fixed.
+ - The parse and parsefnc options are now processed by a single routine that allows their escape patterns to coexist in the input data.
+ - Bugs in ECI processing with PDF417 and MicroPDF417 were fixed.
+ - A bug in the seperator pattern for GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked Composite was fixed.
+ - A bug in leaving punctuation mode in Aztec Code was fixed.
+ - An inefficiency in the QR Code encoding was fixed.
+ - ECI support was added to Code One.
+ - A bug in Data Matrix for ECI checks at end of data was fixed.
+ - ECI support was added to Data Matrix, Aztec Code, QR Code, PDF417, MicroPDF417, Maxicode and DotCode.
+ - GS1 DataBar Limited was updated to include a righthand whitespace guard.
+ - Code 32 was fixed to avoid overwriting the provided barcode string.
+ - A new encoder for Swiss QR Code was added.
+ - The Codablock F encoding was optimised potentially resulting in smaller symbols.
+ - The GS1 DataBar Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional and GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked separator patterns were fixed.
+ - A bug in GS1-128 that sometimes prevented encoding with a Composite Component was fixed.
+ - Bugs in GS1 Composite Component encoding were fixed.
+ - The GS1 QR Code encoder was fixed.

+ - An encoder for the Royal Mail Mailmark symbology was added.
+ - The performance of the renmatrix renderer was slightly optimised.
+ - The performance of the renmatrix renderer was significantly improved.
+ - A recent regression in the Data Matrix encoder was fixed.
+ - The Data Matrix encoder was fixed to avoid certain cases where switching between C40, Text and X12 encoding might latch repeatedly.
+ - Preliminary support for the JAB Code symbology was added.
+ - The raw option was added to the Data Matrix encoder.
+ - The base size of Ultracode symbols was increased.
+ - Support for symbols composed of dots was added to the renmatrix renderer.
+ - The DotCode encoder was amended to use the dotty matrix feature.
+ - A bug in the DotCode encoder's handling of FNC3 message separator characters was fixed.
+ - The DotCode encoder was fixed to support optimised handling of "FNC1 in First" for leading numeric input.
