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.

Behavioral Changes

EAN13 and UPCA used to be separate symbologies in Scandit SDK 5.x, but are now merged into one symbology called EAN13/UPCA.
