New functionality:

• The QL-800 series (QL-800, QL-810W, QL-820NWB) is now supported:
  • brother_ql_create can now create label with two-color printing (black/red/white)
    if your printer supports it. Just provide the --red flag to the CLI call.
  • brother_ql_analyze can interpret two-color printing instruction files.
• New flag --dither for the brother_ql_create tool to use dithering instead of the --threshold to convert grayscale to b/w.

Changed behaviour:

• By default, created labels are not using compression any longer:
  • create_label() now accepts a new keyword argument compress.
    The default is False → no compression if not set manually.
    This will speed-up the label creation in many cases
    at the expense of larger file sizes. Set to True if you
    don't care about processing time but want to store the
    generated label files.
  • The brother_ql_create CLI offers this via the new
    argument --compress.
    New default (if not set): no compression.
