2.20 Sat Aug 13 16:39:54 CDT 2005
Applied patches from Jonathan Kamens
1) Add support for No. 9 and No. 6 3/4 envelopes.
2) Add 5160 to the list of Avery product codes for the layout code 5160
(since 5160 is the product code that appeared on the box of labels that
I bought).
3) Add a new "orientation" setup option which can be set to "portrait"
or "landscape", with "portrait" being the default.
4) Modify the generated PostScript code so that if we're in landscape
mode, we rotate and translate appropriately.
5) Wrap the generated PostScript code in "gsave ... grestore" so that
the translation and rotation is protected (this way, e.g., you can
have both a calibration page and a label test page in the same
PostScript file without over-rotating and over-translating).
6) Don't hard-code the list of valid paper sizes in MailLabels.pm;
instead, get it from BasicData.pm.
7) To support the new landscape stuff, add a new parameter to the
papersize() function, "logical", to indicate whether the caller
wants the physical page size or the logical one. The logical page
size has the width and height flipped when in landscape mode.
Modify calls to papersize() when appropriate to use the logical
rather than physical page size.
8) Fix a typo in a comment.
2.11 Sat Nov 13 14:42:37 CST 2004
Put in a trap to catch empty fields and set them to blank with a
warning (Joe Zacky found this one). Also update docs to explain the
barcode stuff, since if you look closely, it can be confusing.
2.10 Sun Aug 29 14:00:53 CDT 2004
Added parameters for 5167 Avery (tm) stock - thanks to Daniel J McDonald
for supplying the parameters.
Also added many new Avery (tm) parameters. Thanks to Summer Misherghi
who pointed me to http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/pageaverylabels.htm
Added new parameter set 'freetype', to allow the user to place a text
string anywhere they want. Particular use is for numbering the pages.
Code now escapes special PostScript characters (){}[]<>/% in the
input so that they will print properly and not crash the PS interpreter.
2.03 Fri Sep 28 07:26:27 CDT 2001
Changed to honor user-defined number of columns - thanks to Allan
Engelhardt for supplying a patch.
2.02 Fri Jan 12 22:07:12 CST 2001
Added y_gap tp Avery(tm) labels
Updated calibration plot in BasicData to arbitrary paper size
Minor repairs to test routine
2.00 Mon Jan 1 14:50:37 CST 2001
Major revision. Added all of the component and label definition stuff.
Thanks to "Andrew Smith" <asmith at wpequity.com> for suggesting
additional fields and inspiring the generalization.
Thanks to Nuno Faria for assisting with the "Europeanization" of
the code - it now works for Portuguese, and hopefully for other
alphabets as well.
Added pagesize so that various paper sizes are actually handled correctly.
Minor bug fixes to PostScript::MailLabels::BasicData, now at version 1.01.
