Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

Performance Improvements​

  • Improved tracking robustness on Barcode Count.
  • Significantly lowered the rate of false positives (i.e., presumed unscanned barcodes) when using Barcode Count.
  • Improved recognition rate for Composite Codes, with a particular focus on codes with small 2d components (e.g. PDF417).
  • Improved recognition rate of linear codes which are partially affected by damage or covered in plastic wrap, with a particular focus on Codabar barcodes.
  • Improved localization of postal codes, up to 25% faster.

Bug Fixes​

ID​

  • Fixed an error 255 that would prevent capturing MRZ for some license keys, for which this feature was enabled.

Core​

  • Fixed an issue where the Flutter modules would not initialize correctly when integrating them into a native Android app.

Deprecations​

6.25.3​

Released: September 2, 2024

6.25.1​

Released: August 1, 2024

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed an issue in MatrixScan Count that was causing a reset after a rotation.

ID​

  • Fixed an error 255 that would prevent capturing MRZ for some licenses where this feature is supposed to be enabled.

6.25.0​

Released: July 5, 2024

New Features​

Barcode​

ID​

  • Added the following properties to SDCVizResult:
    • SDCVizResult.bloodType to represent the blood type of the document owner.
    • SDCVizResult.sponsor to represent the sponsor of the document owner.
    • SDCVizResult.mothersName to represent the mother’s name of the document owner.
    • SDCVizResult.fathersName to represent the father’s name of the document owner.
  • Added IdCaptureSettings.rejectVoidedIds. When enabled, documents voided by authorities are rejected.
    warning

    This feature currently supports 3 kinds of invalidation: Cut corners, holes punched in the document, and “VOID” perforations. Additionally, this feature currently supports only US Driver’s Licenses, and has no effect when scanning other document types.

  • Added RejectedId.rejectionReason which contains the reason the document was rejected.
  • Improved the extraction of the document number from UK driver’s licenses.
  • Added scandit-flutter-datacapture-id-voided-detection library that must be included when activating IdCaptureSettings.rejectVoidedIds.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Improved recognition rate for Composite A and Composite B barcodes, thanks to an increased robustness for small and low resolution MicroPDF417.
  • Improved recognition rate of long, thin linear 1d codes, such as those found on electronic shelf labels (ESLs).
  • Improved recognition rate of linear codes which are partially affected by damage or glare, with a particular focus on codabar barcodes.

ID​

  • Improved the accuracy of the AAMVA Barcode Verification.

Bug Fixesq​

  • Fixed a compatibility issue with Flutter version >= 3.22.0. Because of this breaking change we were forced to increase our minimum supported Flutter version to 3.22.0.

Barcode​

  • Fixed the update of the barcode capture success feedback.

6.24.0​

Released: May 8, 2024

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Intention: Introduced a new algorithm that intelligently identifies and scans the barcode that the user intends to capture, reducing errors. Enabled by default in SparkScan (SparkScanSettings.scanIntention) and can be manually set in Barcode Capture (BarcodeCaptureSettings.scanIntention).

  • Improved Scanning Range: Enhanced scanning range for 1D barcodes on Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) and paper shelf labels by 30-40% in both Full HD and 4K without compromising scanning speed. This improvement enables the fastest and most ergonomic scanning experience for tiny barcodes and ESLs, particularly those placed on top or bottom shelves.

  • Smart Battery Management: Introduced smart battery management to lower energy consumption and increase the up-time of the device. Tests show up to a 15% improvement in battery life. This option is disabled by default but can be enabled via BarcodeCaptureSettings.batterySavingMode, with settings for automatic, always on, or always off (default).

  • User-Facing Camera: SparkScan now allows switching to the user-facing camera for scanning, useful in scenarios where the rear camera is not accessible or barcodes are hard to reach. See SparkScanView.cameraSwitchButtonVisible.

  • New Symbology Supports:

    • Symbology.frenchPost: Allows the recognition of postal codes (code postal) used by the French Post.
    • Symbology.australianPost: Added support for decoding misprinted Australian Post codes.

ID​

  • State-Specific Thresholds in ID Verification: Added support for per-state thresholds and removed the hardcoded number of features. This is a breaking change; old verification models will not work.

  • Timeout Callback Modification: Modified IdCaptureListener.didTimedOut() to be invoked whenever a document is localized for a period of time but could not be captured.

  • Fixed Surnames in US Driver’s Licenses: Fixed truncated surnames in US driver’s licenses using magnetic stripe format.

  • Newly Supported Documents for MRZ Scanning:

    • Mexico: Matrícula Consular

  • Newly Supported Documents for Front of Card/VIZ Scanning:

    • USA:
      • District of Columbia - Driver License & ID Card (2023 version)
      • Idaho - Driver License & ID Card (2023 version)
      • North Dakota - Driver License & ID Card (2023 version)
      • West Virginia - Driver License & ID Card (2023 version)
      • Wisconsin - Driver License & ID Card (2023 version)
    • Mexico: Consular Voter ID

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Battery Saving Mode: Changed from BatterySavingMode.off to BatterySavingMode.auto. This can be changed via SparkScanSettings.batterySaving.

Performance Improvements​

ID​

  • Improved Capture Performance: Enhanced capture performance for US driver’s license PDF417 barcodes with printing defects, particularly from Ohio, Louisiana, and Florida.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed the “Tap to Focus” animation when the view size changes.

ID​

  • Fixed a crash when scanning a passport MRZ followed by a non-passport VIZ.
  • Fixed an issue causing the century of birth dates, issue dates, and expiry dates to be returned incorrectly when scanning the VIZ of European IDs, Swiss driver’s licenses, and UAE IDs.
  • Fixed instances where information was incorrectly extracted from British Columbia PDF417.

API Changes​

Barcode​

  • Renamed Methods in BarcodePickView:
    • Lifecycle Methods:
      • When a widget is shown or when AppLifecycleState is AppLifecycleState.resumed, BarcodePickView.resume() should be called.
      • When you navigate to a new widget, hide the widget, or AppLifecycleState is not AppLifecycleState.resumed, BarcodePickView.pause() should be called.
    • Start/Stop Scanning:
      • BarcodePickView.start(): Starts the scanning flow and can be manually stopped by calling BarcodePickView.stop(). It will be stopped automatically when BarcodePickView.pause() is called and resumed with BarcodePickView.resume().
      • BarcodePickView.stop(): Stops the scanning flow and can be manually started by calling BarcodePickView.start().
note

Scanning is only possible when in resumed state, meaning BarcodePickView.start() won’t start the scanning flow if BarcodePickView.resume() isn’t called before or afterwards.
