7.0.0

Released: November 29, 2024

New Features

Scandit's Smart Data Capture SDK v7.0 addresses the industry's toughest scanning challenges with innovative solutions at every layer. Our enhanced scanning engine is context-aware, understanding both the environment and user needs. This results in smoother integrations, a richer user experience, and improved scanning performance without compromising flexibility.

Version 7.0 also offers increased versatility by supporting multiple input formats including text and barcodes.

SparkScan, our flagship barcode scanning product, embodies the full potential of v7.0 with its versatile user interface coupled with a robust, out-of-the-box scanning engine. SparkScan's success is a testament to our commitment to delivering seamless, high-performance camera-based scanning solutions.

Barcode

• SparkScan introduces a completely redesigned user interface, enhancing ergonomics with a simplified API and in-demand customization options. These updates make SparkScan even more versatile, seamlessly integrating with various use cases and blending smoothly into any existing workflow and UI. See the migration guide for more details.
• Added the remove_delimiter_data extension to the CODABAR symbology.
• The MatrixScan Find user interface is now optimized for 4:3 camera resolution.
• The Barcode Generator is now available for Capacitor.
  • Barcode Generator now supports the generation of Aztec codes.

Core

• Added the following API for fetching all Open Source Software (OSS) license text and attributions for all OSS used by the Scandit SDK.
  • DataCaptureContext.openSourceSoftwareLicenseInfo()

ID

We’ve completely redesigned the ID Capture API to streamline document capture and validation. The latest version introduces enhanced configuration options and improved result structures for an intuitive integration experience. These include:

• Easily configure which documents you capture using IdCaptureSettings.acceptedDocuments and IdCaptureSettings.rejectedDocuments. Choose entire document classes or refine selections by specific countries for precise control.
• Use IdCaptureSettings.scannerType to specify which document sections are relevant for your capture process.
• With just two callbacks — IdCaptureListener.onIdCaptured for success and IdCaptureListener.onIdRejected for rejection — it's straightforward to understand outcomes and define next steps, making the API simpler and more intuitive.
• Access key aggregated data at the top level of CapturedId or retrieve details from specific document parts, such as CapturedId.visualInspectionZone, CapturedId.machineReadableZone, and CapturedId.barcode.
• Retrieve document images, including the complete frame, through CapturedId.images.

Performance Improvements

• Improved tracking of 1D barcodes that are horizontally aligned.
• MatrixScan Count’s tracking robustness is improved with quick recovery of tracking failures.

Breaking Changes

Barcode

• The MatrixScan API (BarcodeTracking) has been renamed to BarcodeBatch. All classes have been renamed accordingly (e.g. BarcodeTrackingListener → BarcodeBatchListener).

Deprecations

In 7.0, we removed all APIs that were deprecated during the lifetime of 6.0. Before migrating to 7.0, we suggest upgrading to 6.28, fixing all deprecation warnings and then upgrading to 7.0.

Barcode

The following SparkScan APIs have been deprecated in 7.0:

• SparkScanView.TorchButtonVisible
• SparkScanView.StopCapturingText
• SparkScanView.StartCapturingText
• SparkScanView.ResumeCapturingText
• SparkScanView.ScanningCapturingText
• SparkScanView.CaptureButtonBackgroundColor
• SparkScanView.CaptureButtonActiveBackgroundColor
• SparkScanView.CaptureButtonTintColor

Text Capture

Text Capture functionality has been deprecated in 7.0. If your use case requires text recognition, we recommend using Smart Label Capture instead.

ID

The legacy ID Capture UI has been removed in 7.0. If you are using the legacy UI, you must migrate to the new ID Capture API.
