2006-03-04 - An encoder for the Reduced Space Symbology RSS Expanded was added.
           - The incorrect definition of the USPS FIM-B symbol was fixed.
           - An encoder for the Reduced Space Symbology RSS Limited was added.
             The efficiency of RSS-14 was improved.
           - An encoder for the new OneCode symbology used by the US 
             Postal Service was added.
           - The FIM symbols now render according to their specification.
           - The Postnet, Royal Mail, AusPost and KIX encoders were amended 
             so that the metrics of their default symbols confirms 
             strongly to their respective specifications.
           - The encoders now pass an array containing the widths of the 
             bar space succession to the renderer allowing for sub-point 
             horizontal precision.
           - The default border positions for EAN and UPC symbols were 
             amended to properly enclose the human readable text.
           - The colour support code was fixed to prevent overwriting of 
             the current colour when values are left unspecified.
           - The logic to guard whitespace in EAN symbols was migrated 
             from the encoders to the renderer.
           - The whitespace guard symbols are now drawn directly making them 
             independant of any font.
           - The inter-guard bar height of EANs and UPCs was amended.
           - The renderer was amended to support the passing of encoder 
             specific arguments.
           - The options barcolor, textcolor, bordercolor, showbackground 
             and backgroundcolor were added to the renderer.
           - A flaw in the derivation of the top border height was fixed.
           - add support for the new ISBN-13
           - printing the code from the current point
           - The performance of the renderer was improved by avoiding 
             unnecessary calls of setfont
           - The auspost encoder was extended to support the customer 
             information field. 
2005-10-24 - A new encoder for the bar codes used by the 
             Australian Postal Service was added.
