Today, I’ve uploaded a new barcode type for Barcode4J: the Royal Mail Customer Barcode (CBC). It’s a kind of “four-state” barcode. There are others like that, for example the Australian variant which uses Reed Solomon error correction instead of a simple checksum like Royal Mail. It should be easy to implement the Australian variant by just handling the checksum differently.
Next on the list for Barcode4J is finishing the DataMatrix implementation I’ve started a while ago. Looks like I can get enough new features together to release Barcode4J 2.0 by the end of the year.
