8.0.0​

Released: November 4, 2025

New Features​

Scandit's SDK 8.0 marks the evolution of data capture from a high-performing scanning tool into an intelligent AI-powered workflow enabler. As frontline operations face mounting pressures with more data points to capture, increasingly complex workflows to navigate, and tighter resource constraints, SDK 8.0 delivers a set of innovations that:

  • Adapt its scanning settings and UI to context by analyzing the scanning environment and user intent;
  • Automate the capture of any data format, barcode clustering, task handling or camera settings;
  • Accelerate critical use cases to maximize ROI through intuitive, streamlined scanning workflows, using interactive AR-guidance, adaptive UI and out-of-the-box custom-branded passenger experiences.

With SDK 8.0 businesses can transform data capture from a basic function to a strategic advantage. It enables intelligent scanning that:

  • Understands not just what is being scanned, but also what you want to scan and why you’re scanning it

  • Adapts accordingly by adjusting scanning settings and/or UI, understanding what comes next and how to guide users seamlessly through sophisticated tasks to ensure the highest level of productivity.

  • Updated ScProcessFrameResult struct definition with additional detailed error information.

  • Modified sc_barcode_scanner_apply_settings to return ScContextStatus with detailed error information.

  • Added sc_context_status_free to public API to free ScContextStatus structures holding detailed error information.

  • Added sc_process_frame_result_free to public API to free ScProcessFrameResult structures holding detailed error information.

  • Modified sc_parser_new_with_context to take ScContextStatus * as the last param instead of just the ScContextStatusFlag *.

  • Improved and accelerated scanning for 1d symbologies at low resolution, in particular Code 128.

Bug Fixes​

  • Updated Minimum Android API Level to 24 (from 21).
  • Unscanned default barcode locations are no longer added as a result to the scan session.
  • Removed the following barcode scanner settings APIs in favor of the new max locations to process per frame APIs:
    • sc_barcode_scanner_settings_get_max_number_of_codes_per_frame (use sc_barcode_scanner_settings_get_max_num_locations_to_process_per_frame)
    • sc_barcode_scanner_settings_set_max_number_of_codes_per_frame (use sc_barcode_scanner_settings_set_max_num_locations_to_process_per_frame)
      • Added corresponding Python bindings: max_num_locations_to_process_per_frame property on BarcodeScannerSettings
  • Added barcode scanner settings option to switch from single to multi-scan scanning. Multi-scan requires a tracking license.
    • sc_barcode_scanner_settings_set_multi_scan_enabled
    • sc_barcode_scanner_settings_get_multi_scan_enabled
      • Python: added BarcodeScannerSettings.multi_scan_enabled property
  • Replaced Royal Mail symbology string identifier from rm4scc to royal-mail-4state.
  • Removed sc_barcode_scanner_new_with_settings API in favor of newly added sc_barcode_scanner_new that does not accept settings. New scanner instance must be configured by sc_barcode_scanner_apply_settings call.
  • Removed sc_context_status_flag_get_message.
  • Removed deprecated focus mode APIs:
    • Removed sc_barcode_scanner_settings_get_focus_mode and sc_barcode_scanner_settings_set_focus_mode. Set code direction hint to SC_CODE_DIRECTION_NONE for devices without auto-focus.
    • Python API: removed focus_mode property from BarcodeScannerSettings class
    • Removed focusMode field from barcode scanner settings JSON serialization
  • Removed deprecated constant SC_SYMBOLOGY_RM4SCC (use SC_SYMBOLOGY_ROYAL_MAIL_4STATE instead).
  • In the public API, changed all _retain and _release functions on opaque pointers to accept const pointers.
