Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes
This section lists public API changes that were introduced in GroupDocs.Assembly for .NET 20.8. It includes not only new and obsoleted public methods, but also a description of any changes in the behavior behind the scenes in GroupDocs.Assembly which may affect existing code. Any behavior introduced that could be seen as a regression and modifies existing behavior is especially important and is documented here.
Supported dynamic generation of GS1-128 AI 8102 Coupon Extended and UPCA & GS1 Databar Coupon barcodes
From now, the following identifiers can be used to generate GS1-128 AI 8102 Coupon Extended and UPCA & GS1 Databar Coupon barcodes:
| Identifier | Description |
|---|---|
| code128GS1UPCA | GS1-128 AI 8102 Coupon Extended barcode |
| databarGS1UPCA | UPCA & GS1 Databar Coupon barcode |
For more information on dynamic insertion of barcodes, see Barcodes Syntax and Properties.
Improved barcode scaling
Starting from this version, barcode scaling is supported for the most of barcode types. For more information on scaling of barcodes, see Scaling Barcode Symbols.
Changed API for working with barcode image resolution
Starting from the 20.8 version, GroupDocs.Assembly introduces a single property to deal with both vertical and horizontal barcode image resolutions. For more information, see Setting Barcode Image Resolution.
New members of BarcodeSettings
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the horizontal and vertical resolution of a barcode image being generated. Measured in dots
/// per inch. The default value is 96.
/// </summary>
public float Resolution { get; set; }
Members of BarcodeSettings marked as obsolete
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the horizontal resolution of a barcode image being generated. Measured in dots per inch.
/// The default value is 96.
/// </summary>
[Obsolete("Use the Resolution property for both horizontal and vertical resolution.")]
public float XResolution { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the vertical resolution of a barcode image being generated. Measured in dots per inch.
