2023-11-17 - Version 3.0 - "Quietly Confident"
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
This is the major release of the new version 3.0.
|
|
A big thank you to @belono for their many contributions
|
|
for the finalization of v3!
|
|
|
|
The third major release of this library drops support for
|
|
Python 2 and requires a Python version of at least 3.8.
|
|
The API has been reworked to be more consistent and two
|
|
new concepts have been introduced:
|
|
|
|
`Capabilities` allow the library to know which features
|
|
the currently used printer implements and send fitting
|
|
commands.
|
|
`Magic Encode` is a new feature that uses the
|
|
capability information and encodes Unicode automatically
|
|
with the correct code page while sending also the
|
|
code page change commands.
|
|
|
|
The license of the project has been changed to MIT
|
|
in accordance with its contributors.
|
|
|
|
The changes listed here are a summary of the changes
|
|
of the previous alpha releases. For details please
|
|
read the changelog of the alpha releases.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

`escpos-printer-db <https://github.com/receipt-print-hq/escpos-printer-db>`_
|
|
- feature: the driver tries now to guess the appropriate codepage and sets it automatically (called "magic encode")
|
|
- as an alternative you can force the codepage with the old API
|
|
- fix the encoding search so that lower encodings are found first
|
|
- automatically handle cases where full cut or partial cut is not available
|
|
