Release Notes

What's New in v3.0.0:

🎉 Major Release - Labelary Integration & TCP Server

🎨 Labelary API Integration: • High-fidelity ZPL rendering with exact Zebra printer emulation • Vector PDF output (smaller, higher quality files) • Automatic batching for 50+ labels with PDF merging • Smart fallback: tries Labelary first, falls back to BinaryKits if offline

🖨️ TCP Server Mode (Virtual Printer): • Acts as a TCP printer on configurable port (default: 9101) • Perfect for integration with applications that send ZPL directly to printers • Runs independently from daemon mode (both can run simultaneously) • Background operation with foreground debug mode

🔤 Custom Font Support: • Load TrueType/OpenType fonts from directory or map specific font IDs • Support for multiple font mappings • Perfect for branded label designs

📁 Extended File Support: • Added support for .zpl and .imp file extensions • All extensions (.txt, .prn, .zpl, .imp) now supported

📝 Custom Output File Naming: • Control output PDF filenames directly from ZPL code • Use ^FX FileName: MyLabel in ZPL for custom naming
