				Release Notes - libLinear.so v.21.09
				BS 18.04

                                                                                    
1. List of new functionality / interfaces

In this version, decoding modes are added to the library algorithm.
The decoding mode is set by field 'mode' of the options structure.
There are three decoding modes in total:
L_M_STANDARD - fully complies with the decoder version 19.06.7. Use as default.
L_M_SMALL_QZ - the main difference is the ability to decode symbols with a small quiet zone.
               Slightly faster than the standard method.
L_M_STANDARD_AND_SMALL_QZ - combination of the two previous modes.

Limitations of the new modes(L_M_SMALL_QZ and L_M_STANDARD_AND_SMALL_QZ):
1. Not supported multiple symbols decoding.
2. Quality Assessment not calculated.
3. Supported only standard('All' group) types of the symbols.
4. Mode L_M_SMALL_QZ not support 'White on black' symbols.
5. For decoding Interliaved 2/5, UPCE and CODABAR symbols full quiet zone required.
These symbols have low security and therefore is a hight probability of detecting them inside
another code(code 128 for example).
