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 TextCapture as a new capture mode for text recognition. Read up on how to get started with text capture.

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.predictedLocation 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.predictedLocation.

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.

Fixed a rare out-of-bounds access in the PDF417 reader.
Fixed decoding of DataBar Expanded codes with 21 or 22 segments.
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.

Changed Camera permission to be requested on Android only when DataCaptureView and Camera are created.
Unify DataCaptureView.viewPointForFramePoint() and DataCaptureView.viewQuadrilateralForFrameQuadrilateral() on iOS and Android to use device independent values.
Fixed the camera lag of the Aquos Sense 2 and Crosscall Core-X4.
Fixed an issue occurring on Android causing the DataCaptureView to be incorrectly sized initially resulting in black rectangle shown briefly in top left corner of the screen.
Fixed an issue in BarcodeSelectionAimAndTapSample resulting in miscalculations of barcode overlap with the aimer.
DLID parser: Fixed the issue that some Alberta, AAMVA version 3 codes were not parsed.

Fixed two sources of memory leaks.
