Scandit Data Capture SDK 6.13 Release Notes (May 25, 2022)

Version 6.13 marks the initial release of Scandit Data Capture SDK for Web. It is a major update over the 5.x Scandit SDK and introduces new APIs and additional features. This release is not compatible with 5.x and will require code changes in your application. Take a look at our migration guide for how to upgrade your app from 5.x to 6.x.

Warning

The current release for the Web is still a beta and there is a chance that some APIs will still change. The parser is not yet available in the newest release but will be added in the near future.
