v1.1 Build 8 - 2007-11-26:

First release of version 1.1.
DataMatrix added (ECC200 - ASCII mode only supported in this release, other encodings to follow, free upgrade for any v1.1 users to future v1.1 builds).
Full function trial removed - trial mode now only allows data of '1's to be encoded - to encode real data, the full version of the software is needed. No trial authorisation key needed, users can download and go straight into trial now.
Expire date removed from registration details - trial version does not expire now, but is functionality-limited (see above).

v1.0 Build 7 - 2007-09-19:

Bar Width Reduction feature added. Fully configurable by user. Allows for compensation for ink-spread when using certain printer/ink/surface combinations.
Bar width of wide bars is now configurable by the user, as a multiple of the width of narrow bars.
WMF and EMF file formats REMOVED for the time being, due to bugs in their handling by .NET. However, they will be back in a future version, along with other vector formats.

v1.0 Build 6 - 2007-09-14:
