Added defaultCapturedFieldBrush class property.
Added SDCCombinedViewfinder to display multiple viewfinders for one mode.
Added SDCLabelCaptureBasicOverlayDelegate.labelCaptureBasicOverlay:didTapLabel:. This method is called every time a captured label is tapped.
Added SDCDataCaptureContextSettings which can be applied to SDCDataCaptureContext through applySettings:.

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

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

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.
Fixed an issue where SDCBarcodeTrackingBasicOverlayDelegate.barcodeTrackingBasicOverlay:didTapTrackedBarcode: isn’t called when a nil SDCBrush is returned in the listener and a SDCBrush is set via SDCBarcodeTrackingBasicOverlay.setBrush:forTrackedBarcode:.
Label Capture: Fixed an issue where drawings were not removed when the mode was reenabled.
ID Capture: Fixed an issue where a previous result was returned in some cases.
Fixed a crash while trying to scan EU Drivers Licenses.
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.

In Swift, the SDCCamera’s methods to add and remove a torch listener, have been renamed from add(_ listener: TorchListener) and remove(_ listener: TorchListener) to addTorchListener(_ listener: TorchListener) and removeTorchListener(_ listener: TorchListener) respectively.

Fixed an issue causing the overlay not to be redrawn when the SDCDataCaptureView’s size is changed.
Fixed a rare crash happening when the SDCDataCaptureContext frame source is added.
DLID parser: Fixed the issue that some Alberta, AAMVA version 3 codes were not parsed.

Fixed an issue where when returning null for SDCBarcodeTrackingBasicOverlayDelegate.barcodeTrackingBasicOverlay:brushForTrackedBarcode: the drawn brush was SDCBarcodeTrackingBasicOverlay.brush instead of a transparent brush.
Fixed a rare crash happening when accessing SDCLicenseInfo before it’s available.
UsUsid parser: Improved parsing of the following fields: eyeColor, hairColor, weight, directCareFlag, civilianHealthCareFlag, payGrade, bloodType, dates.
