thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version and updated the
catalogue.
users may view the package catalogue entry at:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pst-barcode.html
or browse the package directory at:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-barcode/
(the catalogue entry will change overnight to reflect the new list of
bar code formats.)

pst-barcode – Print barcodes using PostScript
The pst-barcode package allows printing of barcodes, in a huge variety of formats, including quick-response (qr) codes (see documentation for details).
As a PSTricks package, the package requires pstricks. The package uses PostScript for calculating the bars. For PDF output use a multi-pass mechansism such as pst-pdf.
