Change Log

1.3.2 (2017-12-21)

Fixed external Scandit Engine library still already registering a device activation on initial configuration in some cases.
Fixed bug preventing scan settings to be changed after the initial setup for Scanner and BarcodePicker objects.
Improved memory usage and speed when modifying scan settings.
Updated external Scandit Engine library to version 5.6-beta.2.
Updated howler library to version 2.0.7.

Fixed external Scandit Engine library registering a device activation on initial configuration: now a device registered only at the time the first frame is processed. This means that unused Scanner objects or BarcodePicker objects starting in a paused state or with no camera access will no longer trigger registrations.

Implemented functionality to delay camera access (and thus possible user permission requests) to after a BarcodePicker has been created, allowing for early external Scandit Engine library initialization.
Added new accessCamera option to BarcodePicker.create to enable/disable camera access on picker creation.
Added new BarcodePicker.accessCamera function to access the camera after picker creation (if disabled on creation).
Updated adapter library to version 6.0.3.
Updated eventemitter3 library to version 3.0.0.
Updated tslib library to version 1.8.1.

Fixed possible problems during camera detection for some older browsers.
Fixed camera initialization failing for some combinations of browsers/devices incorrectly reporting camera failures.
Fixed camera initialization sometimes failing in Safari mobile on iOS 11.0 - 11.0.2.
Fixed BarcodePicker element sometimes overflowing its given origin element by 1 pixel.

Fixed BarcodePicker not getting hidden when the relative option or function is provided/called.
Fixed incorrect BarcodePicker visibility option and function only partially hiding the containing element.
Fixed BarcodePicker's originElement being left in an inconsistent state after being destroyed.
Fixed incorrect camera front/back detection on some devices set to a system language different from english.

Deprecated BarcodePicker.UIStyle in favor of BarcodePicker.GuiStyle to be consistent with other existing Scandit SDKs.
Deprecated BarcodePicker.create's uiStyle option in favor of guiStyle.
Deprecated BarcodePicker.UIStyle.SCANLINE in favor of BarcodePicker.GuiStyle.LASER to be consistent with other existing Scandit SDKs.
Added new BarcodePicker.setGuiStyle function to set the GUI of the picker after creation.
Correctly detect failed camera initialization in various situations due to unforeseen hardware issues and reject promises with a NotReadableError error plus close the video stream when it's the case.
Fixed broken camera selection in BarcodePicker when one of the cameras cannot be accessed.
Improved README documentation.
Improved BarcodePicker documentation.

Implemented tap-to-focus camera functionality for devices supporting it (currently available only in Chrome).
Implemented device torch/torchlight toggle functionality and relative button for devices supporting it (currently available only in Chrome).
Added new enableTapToFocus option to BarcodePicker.create to enable/disable tap-to-focus (when available).
Added new enableTorchToggle option to BarcodePicker.create to enable/disable torch toggle button (when available).
Added new setTorchEnabled function to BarcodePicker to enable/disable torch (when available).
Fixed missing camera switcher button when preselecting a camera on BarcodePicker creation.
Fixed incorrect domain name detection and verification in Firefox.
Fixed buttons and touch events sometimes not being triggered on mobile devices.
Improved BarcodePicker buttons and touch events responsiveness.
Updated adapter library to version 6.0.2.
Improved README documentation.
Improved CHANGELOG format.
Improved documentation navigation.

Implemented automatic regularly triggered focus procedure for cameras not supporting continuous focus mode (but supporting at least manual focus); this greatly increases usability and scanning performance. Currently available only in Chrome.
Fixed incorrect domain name detection and verification in Edge.
Improved BarcodePicker documentation.

Fixed ScanditSDK.configure not rejecting in case of unsupported browsers when not performing any of the preloading functions, now the promise is correctly rejected.

Fixed incorrect error thrown on ScanditSDK.loadEngineLibrary calls in case of unsupported browsers, now the promise is correctly rejected with said error.
Fixed incorrect error thrown when a code containing data in non-UTF-8 format is scanned, now the barcode result is correctly created with an empty parsed data string.

Altered function call (same functionality) to make the library correctly parsable by Internet Explorer 11, and more graciously fail with built-in errors later.
Added small shadow to camera switcher button to make it more visible on bright backgrounds.
Improved README documentation.
Minor CHANGELOG formatting changes.

Fixed camera feed being interrupted in Safari desktop/mobile when BarcodePicker element or page loses and regains visibility.
