Scandit Data Capture SDK 6.3 Release Notes (May 12th 2020)

See also the System Requirements of the Scandit Data Capture SDK across all platforms.

New Features

• Added Symbology.IATA_TWO_OF_FIVE.

• Code 128 now always uses relaxed quiet zone rules. It is no longer necessary to use the relaxed quiet zone symbology extension.

• Added BitmapFrameSource. This new type of FrameSource allows to capture data inside Bitmaps (for example scanning barcodes in a Bitmap).

• Introduced an experimental torch state (TorchState.AUTO) that turns the torch on or off based on the current illumination.

• Added TorchListener - a callback to be invoked when TorchState of a Camera changes.

• The ScanditLabelCapture library (containing LabelCapture) no longer requires ScanditTextCapture (containing TextCapture) as a dependency if the label to be recognized does not require any text recognition.

• Added RectangularViewfinder.disabledColor to set color of the viewfinder when the mode is disabled.

• When the shouldShowScanAreaGuides option is enabled point of interest is always drawn. When the radius for radius location selection is set to 0 then a small circle is drawn.

• Added DataCaptureContext.deviceId to get the unique identifier of the device.

• Added Feedback deserialization (fromJson()).

• Added BarcodeTrackingAdvancedOverlay deserialization (fromJson() and updateFromJson()).

• Added TextCapture deserialization (TextCapture.fromJson() and TextCapture.updateFromJson()) and TextCaptureSettings updating through deserialization (TextCaptureSettings.updateFromJson()).

• Added TextCaptureFeedback deserialization (TextCaptureFeedback.fromJson()).

• Added Parser deserialization (Parser.fromJson() and Parser.updateFromJson()).

• DLID parser: Added the “issuer” field, its value is the ISO code of the issuing state.

• SwissQr parser: minimalVersion option added to the parser. The default minimal version of SwissQr codes that are parsed was changed to 2.0.

• MRTD parser: allowFalsePositiveCompensation option added.

• US Uniformed Services ID (UsUsid) parser support for PDF417 barcodes.

Behavioral Changes

• ScanditCaptureCore.aar now depends on com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.12.10. If you are using Gradle or Maven no action is required. If you are directly adding the AAR files to your project, you need to also add this dependency.

Performance Improvements

• Improved recognition for 1d barcodes close to 1px per bar.

• Performance Improvements on the Samsung XCover Pro.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a very rare infinite loop in the QR code reader.

• Fixed an unhandled intersection error in the Data Matrix Decoder.

• Fixed a bug that prevented a DataCaptureView from being garbage collected.

• SwissQr parser: fixed bug where additional, empty sections were treated as an error.

Deprecations

No deprecations have been made.
