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!
