Thanks to HemantShrimali1982 for the initial report in `Issue 273 <https://github.com/adamchainz/treepoem/issues/273>`__.

-------------------

* Fixed text positioning to avoid cropping after upgrade to BWIPP 2023-07-23.

Thanks to Nico Hein in `PR 496 <https://github.com/adamchainz/treepoem/pull/496>`__.

* Update EPS generation to follow the `BWIPP recommendation <https://github.com/bwipp/postscriptbarcode/wiki/Developing-a-Frontend-to-BWIPP>`__.
This change improves image quality including anti-aliased text, but slightly changes image dimensions for some barcode types.

This change also modifies the return type of ``generate_barcode()`` from ``PIL.EpsImagePlugin.EpsImageFile`` to its superclass ``PIL.Image.Image``.
In most cases, this change will be transparent, as most methods on ``EpsImageFile``, such as ``save()``, are inherited from ``Image``.

Done with guidance from BWIPP creator Terry Burton in `PR 499 <https://github.com/adamchainz/treepoem/pull/499>`__.

-------------------

* Added ``scale`` parameter to ``generate_barcode()`` and ``-s``/``--scale`` option to the command line.
Changing the scale changes the pixels in the output image.

-------------------

* Upgrade vendored BWIPP to its 2023-07-23 release.
