Changes

- Accept redundant GS1 Message separator chars, both after fixed-length fields and at the end of the GS1 Message. The specification says that the separator characters "should not" be present in these locations, but doesn't forbid it. Multiple separator characters are also ignored. (Fixes: 176, PR: 304)

Changes

- Add support for extracting dates and potentially datetimes from GS1 messages with AI 4324/4325/4326/7003/7006/7007/7011/8008. (PR: 301)

Fixes

- In the new GS1 AI dataset introduced in Biip 3.2.0, there are four AIs with optional pattern groups. When the value matches everything but the optional pattern group, the group's value becomes `None`. This caused Biip to crash when we tried building a string of the characters matching the pattern. (Fixes: 295, PR: 300)
