Scandit Data Capture SDK 6.4 Release Notes (July 10, 2020)

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

New Features

• Extended default symbol count ranges for the following symbologies:

  • Code128 and Code39 changed from 7-20 to 6-40.

  • Code93 changed from 7-22 to 6-40.

  • MSI-Plessey changed from 7-20 to 6-32.

  • ITF changed from 8-18 to 6-40.

• Added TrackedBarcode.location and TrackedBarcode.getAnchorPosition() for getting the location of a tracked barcode and the position of its anchors respectively.

• Added DataCaptureContext.licenseInfo containing info about the license’s Expiration. This information is not available for all license types.

• Added DEFAULT_BRUSH class property.

• Added DEFAULT_LABEL_BRUSH class property.

• Added DEFAULT_PREDICTED_FIELD_BRUSH class property.

• Added DEFAULT_CAPTURED_FIELD_BRUSH class property.

• Added symbology class property.

• Added CombinedViewfinder to display multiple viewfinders for one mode.

• Added LabelCaptureBasicOverlayListener.onLabelTapped(). This method is called every time a captured label is tapped.

• Added DataCaptureContextSettings which can be applied to DataCaptureContext through applySettings().

Behavioral Changes

• During BarcodeTracking the location of TrackedBarcode.barcode used to be updated over time. This was never intended behavior and is no longer the case. Instead TrackedBarcode.location should be used. The location of barcode should be ignored when using BarcodeTracking.

  If your tracked barcodes are suddenly not moving anymore or not moving as expected, the issue is likely the use of Barcode.location instead of TrackedBarcode.location.

Performance Improvements

• Improved recognition of Code128 and EAN13 codes with low resolution.

• Improved recognition of Aztec codes with a small module count.

• Improved recognition of MicroQR codes with low resolution or perspective distortion.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a rare out-of-bounds access in the PDF417 reader.

• Fixed decoding of DataBar Expanded codes with 21 or 22 segments.

• Fixed an issue with the torch control not responding under certain circumstances.

• Fixed an issue where BarcodeTrackingBasicOverlayListener.onTrackedBarcodeTapped() isn’t called when a null Brush is returned in the listener and a Brush is set via BarcodeTrackingBasicOverlay.setBrushForTrackedBarcode().

• Label Capture: Fixed an issue where drawings were not removed when the mode was reenabled.

• DLID parser: Fixed incorrect date parsing for North Carolina, AAMVA version 1.

• DLID parser: Fixed an issue where dates were not parsed for West Virginia and Wyoming, AAMVA version 4.

Deprecations

• Deprecated BarcodeTrackingBasicOverlay.defaultBrush, use brush instead.

• Deprecated LabelCaptureBasicOverlay.defaultLabelBrush, use labelBrush instead.

• Deprecated LabelCaptureBasicOverlay.defaultPredictedFieldBrush, use predictedFieldBrush instead.

• Deprecated LabelCaptureBasicOverlay.defaultCapturedFieldBrush, use capturedFieldBrush instead.
