v2.0 dev releases are now available for both Drupal 6 and Drupal 7. Attempts at upgrading from D6 v1.0 to D6 v2.0 and then to D7 v2.0 successfully, but definitely back up your database be upgrading.

Some notes:

• The title/annotation of barcode support for D7 was left out. If you need title or annotation, please use field group or field collection together with Barcode module
• Please back up your database before trying this with any kind of important data.
• CCK support was moved into a separate barcodefield.module file in D6. This have been refactored for D7 Field API and moved back into barcode.module. So, one less module!
