Public API changes and backwards compatibility

Inverted Barcodes Recognition Performance

The recognition performance for inverted barcodes, where foreground and background colors are swapped, has been significantly improved. These enhancements provide more reliable decoding:

on mobile devices under variable lighting conditions,
in scanned documents that contain negative or inverted images,
in high-contrast PDF files and document-processing workflows. The feature can be enabled via the InverseImage quality setting:

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace Aspose::BarCode::Generation;
using namespace Aspose::BarCode::Recognition;

auto generator = MakeObject<BarcodeGenerator>(EncodeTypes::DataMatrix, u"0126789ABCDEFabcdef");
generator->get_Parameters()->get_Barcode()->set_BarColor(Color::get_White());
generator->get_Parameters()->set_BackColor(Color::get_Black());

auto image = generator->GenerateBarCodeImage();
auto reader = MakeObject<BarCodeReader>(image, DecodeType::DataMatrix);
reader->get_QualitySettings()->set_InverseImage(InverseImageMode::Enabled);

auto results = reader->ReadBarCodes();
for (auto&& result : results)
{
    System::Console::WriteLine(result->get_CodeText());
}

AAMVA DL/ID Card Barcode Support

Support for encoding and decoding AAMVA-compliant Driver License and Identification Card barcodes has been added through the new USADriveIdCodetext class. This enables working with the structured data embedded in U.S. Driver License PDF417 barcodes, including:

standardized mandatory fields,
optional AAMVA elements,
jurisdiction-specific subfiles,
automatic subfile construction (types, offsets, lengths),
full parsing and reconstruction of the codetext. The implementation follows the AAMVA DL/ID Card Design Standard (2025).
