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.

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 an issue when calling DataCaptureContext.removeAllModes().
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.

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.
