Scandit Data Capture SDK 6.6 Release Notes (December 11th 2020)

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

New Features

Increased the Android Java source and target compatibility to Java 8.
Added support for composite codes. They are enabled through BarcodeCaptureSettings.enabledCompositeTypes and BarcodeCaptureSettings.enableSymbologiesForCompositeTypes() and the data is retrieved from Barcode.compositeData and Barcode.compositeRawData. See the new composite code guide for more details.
Added Symbology.MatrixTwoOfFive.
Added extended ID Capture mode that supports scanning MRZ documents, US Uniformed services documents and the back of driver licenses that contain barcodes. The ID Capture API is still in beta and may change in future versions of the Scandit Data Capture SDK.
DLID parser: added documentType field support.

Fixed default TextCapture regular expression to accept any string including newline characters: Previously the default regex ‘.’ rejected strings with ‘n’ characters. The new default of [sS] accepts any string also including ‘n’.

Fixed issues on Android devices with non-standard camera placement. This would result in sub-optimal capture behavior and an inversion of point of interest, viewfinders, location selections and other visualizations.
Fixed increased EAN13 false positive rate introduced in 6.5.0.
Fixed Codabar Mod16 checksum calculation for certain corner cases.
Fixed a bug in the decoding of code128 when shifting between subtypes.
Fixed TextCaptureSettings.recognitionDirection not being applied correctly.

Deprecated Camera.isTorchAvailable, which is now replaced by Camera.getIsTorchAvailable() and returns a Promise resolving to the torch availability, instead of the torch availability directly. This also resolves an issue with the torch availability not being properly returned on Cordova Android.

SwissQr parser: fixed a bug with incorrect length calculation of a field if it contains non-ASCII characters.
Reduced the rate of PDF417 false positive especially for codes with low error correction.
Fixed a bug in the decoding of MicroQR with dimension 17x17.
Fixed a potential crash in BarcodeTrackingAdvancedOverlay.

Fixed an issue where add-on codes were not working for Symbology.EAN8 and Symbology.UPCE.
Symbology.GS1DatabarExpanded is no longer scanned outside of the active scanning area.
