Feature release 0.6.4:

• #155 -- introducing mode Bu!
  • emphasis on max compatibility/reliability. Performance will be ~43% of mode B (even worse than Bm), but in certain cases -- like a laptop webcam trying to decode from a phone screen -- this may be the best option.
  • mod...

Feature release 0.6.3:

1. introducing experimental mode Bm! (#143, #146)
   • this is a new, compact cimbar config that should allow reliable transfers on a broader variety of cameras/devices
   • mode Bm's max transfer capacity is about 70% of mode B -- but in many circumstances reliability is the limiting factor, not maximum theoretical performance. So give it a try...
   • this requ...

Beta release of the web-based reader/decoder!

• the decoder is located at https://re.cimbar.org , and it works much like the android app (https://github.com/sz3/cfc) -- view fullscreen camera feed; center it on the barcode; wait for progress; save file when done
• the webapp receiver now preserves filenames, if the sender is the newest version (e.g. if the filename is included in the send)....

A grab bag of small changes to the cimbar.js web encoder UI:

• an error message is now displayed when webGL fails init (https://github.com/sz3/libcimbar/issues/95)
• toggling the menu now temporarily pauses the barcode animation for 15 frames (1 second)
  • this helps with autofocus issues on certain cameras
• on mobile, the touch event (press the screen anywhere) will also pause the anima...

Format/design notes:

• introducing mode B, with split symbol and color decodes. This means that even if the colors are completely wrong, we can still make progress.
• the new format also allows better color correction => better performance under a larger variety of conditions
  • there are some narrow circumstances where the old mode 4C might still be better
• removal of 8-color support (...
