8.5.2​

Released: July 31, 2026

Performance Improvements​

Id​

  • Improved performance of Irish Garda Age Card

8.5.1​

Released: July 20, 2026

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed BarcodeCapture and SparkScan not applying a selectionMode change from On to Auto, which left the aimer visible.

Id​

  • Fixed an incorrect license key check that prevented scanning of documents with a PDF417 barcode or MRZ on one side, and of mDLs read via OCR.

8.5.0​

Released: July 9, 2026

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Added the SelectionMode API to replace the SparkScan target-mode APIs and ScanIntention.smartSelection: Set selectionMode (off/on/auto) in the BarcodeCaptureSettings and SparkScanSettings to control whether an aimed-at barcode is scanned automatically or requires explicit selection.

Id​

  • Added Irish Garda Age Card as RegionSpecificSubtype.IrelandAgeCard.
  • Added double-sided support for the Oman residence card.
  • Added single-sided support for extraction of issue date and birth date from the 2025 NYC Municipal ID.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Extended VIN label capture to also scan Code 128 barcodes (in addition to QR, Code 39, and Data Matrix) via createVinLabelDefinition().
  • Extended LabelCapture to accept label definitions where both "barcode" and "text" field types use the "semantics" feature simultaneously; previously this was restricted to only one field type at a time.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Enhanced detection of low-resolution QR codes, improving scan rates for QR codes with degraded print quality or unfavorable capture conditions. This improvement applies to QR codes of versions 1, 2, and 3 (21×21, 25×25, and 29×29 modules).
    • codes is now enabled by default, improving scan rates for challenging QR codes with degraded print quality or unfavorable capture conditions. This improvement applies to QR codes of versions 1, 2, and 3 (21×21, 25×25, and 29×29 modules).
  • Improved scanning of micro-QR codes affected by quiet zone violations and perspective distortion.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Improved Receipt Scanning efficiency by optimizing receipt image processing before extraction.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Reduced Code 128 minimum symbol count from 6 to 4; short codes (4 & 5 symbols) use stricter matching rules than longer codes. To explicitly exclude short codes, disable symbol counts 4 & 5 via sc_symbology_settings_set_active_symbol_counts() for Code 128. Note that if you previously enabled short code scanning, more strict settings are now in effect to reduce the chance of false positives, which are more likely for very short codes.
  • Tightened Code 39 false positive filter thresholds by default; to restore the previous behavior, enable the relaxed extension on Code 39 via sc_symbology_settings_set_extension_enabled(). This is only advised when external validation measures are available, e.g. scanning against a known list of valid codes or when codes contain structured data.
  • Updated SymbologyDescription.forIdentifier to return null for unrecognized identifiers (e.g. "EAN-8" instead of "ean8"); previously such input was silently mapped to Codabar.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed BarcodeAR not displaying an overlay for every scanned barcode when duplicate barcode values are present.
  • Fixed a crash in BarcodeArView on iOS (.NET MAUI) where an ApplicationException was thrown when no CameraSettings was supplied; CameraSettings is optional, so the view now falls back to default camera settings on iOS instead of throwing, matching Android behavior.
  • Fixed a memory leak in item-based scanning.
  • Fixed PDF417 macro block file ID decoding to correctly handle numeric formatting according to the ISO/IEC 15438:2015 specification.
  • Fixed rare cases of incorrect (tiny) PDF417 location outlines.

Id​

  • Fixed an issue where cropped document images were rotated when Frame Image was also enabled.
  • Corrected the orientation of cropped Visa document images that were being rotated incorrectly when scanned using a single-frame image source.
  • Fixed parser handling of non-standard Surrey BC AAMVA barcodes that were incorrectly returning "Invalid Format".
  • Resolved a duplicate Objective-C class registration that could trigger spurious casting failures or crashes when an app links both ScanditCaptureCore and ScanditIdCapture.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Fixed a memory leak in LabelCapture.

Core​

  • Fixed a crash when the DataCaptureContext singleton was initialized more than once.

Deprecations​

Barcode​

  • The SparkScan target-mode APIs and ScanIntention.smartSelection are deprecated in favour of selectionMode.

8.4.1​

Released: June 23, 2026

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed BarcodeAR not displaying an overlay for every scanned barcode when duplicate barcode values are present.
  • Fixed a memory leak in SparkScan when using the item-based API.

Id​

  • Fixed an issue where cropped document images were rotated when they are recovered using the getFrame API.
  • Resolved a duplicate Objective-C class registration that could trigger spurious casting failures or crashes when an app links both ScanditCaptureCore and ScanditIdCapture.

8.4.0​

Released: May 18, 2026

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Added dotRadius property to BarcodeBatchBasicOverlay to allow customizing the size of dots when using the Dot overlay style.

Id​

  • Added support for reading the vehicle table on the back of New Zealand driving licences, with the latest expiry date returned; supported vehicle classes are 1–6, including L=learner and R=restricted variants.
  • Added support for new versions of USA, California – Driver's License; USA, North Carolina – Driver's License; USA, Texas – Driver's License; and USA, Oklahoma – Driver's License.

Core​

  • Added a new PinchToZoom gesture.
  • Enhanced CameraSettings to support ZoomLevels for the .NET API.
  • Added Camera Switch Control component to .NET.
  • DataCaptureView.DataCaptureContext can now be reassigned at runtime in MAUI, both via code-behind and XAML data binding. Previously, the context could only be set once during view initialization.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Improved Code 128 scan robustness for codes with uneven blur and geometric distortions. Available on all platforms except WebAssembly without SIMD and ARM without FP16.
  • Improved 1D barcode scanning speed and reduced false positives for linear symbologies.
  • Further improved scanning of square DataMatrix codes with damaged or occluded timing patterns.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Intention now continuously adapts between Single Scan and Selection modes during a scanning session when Smart Scan Selection is enabled, switching back to Single Scan when the scene no longer requires Selection mode. Previously, once Selection mode was activated it remained active for the rest of the session.
  • Changed ITF scanning to reduce false positives by introducing checksum-dependent scoring. ITF has an optional checksum which is mandated to be enabled by many of the standards that use ITF as the data carrier. Starting with this release, checksum-passing ITF codes are scanned with more relaxed conditions than codes that don't pass the checksum test. This happens even if the optional mod 10 checksum isn't enabled. To disable this behavior, enable the no_checksum_dependent_validation symbology extension for the ITF symbology.
  • Removed the Abseil library dependency.
  • Reduced Code 39 false positives.

Core​

  • Updated mbedtls from version 3.6.5 to 3.6.6.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed a stability issue that could cause a crash when tracked barcodes were removed or expired during a scanning session.
  • Fixed an issue where BarcodeCountView would display incorrectly after rotating the device when a sibling view was present in the same parent view.
  • Fixed an unnecessary second scan callback that occurs after freezing barcode recognition.
  • Fixed PDF417 macro block file ID decoding to correctly handle numeric formatting according to the ISO/IEC 15438:2015 specification.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when scanning barcodes with the k-out-of-n filter enabled, if some detected barcodes were not subject to filtering.
  • Fixed an issue where the Smart Scan Selection aimer would become too small when scan-area margins restricted the visible scan area; the aimer is now sized relative to the view, keeping a consistent on-screen size regardless of margins.

Id​

  • Fixed an issue where the US Permanent Residence Card was not processed through the VizMrz flow.
  • Fixed an issue where AAMVA verification was being performed even when no AAMVA document types were enabled in the accepted documents.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Fixed a memory leak in LabelCapture
  • Fixed an issue where the validation flow viewfinder was not displayed.
  • Fixed a race condition in the validation flow.
  • Fixed a bug where the label capture validation flow overlay sometimes did not reflect label capture settings when reused.
  • Fixed a bug that caused error messages in DataCaptureView to be rendered partially out-of-view.
  • Fixed a rare race condition in Label Capture.
  • Added .asDate() support to ExpiryDate and PackingDate label fields when the text is provided as manual input or as an Adaptive-Recognition-Engine response.
  • Fixed a bug where the receipt scanning overlay and validation flow overlay could not be used on the same LabelCapture mode instance.

Core​

  • Fixed a crash that occurred when the DataCaptureContext singleton was initialized more than once.
  • Fixed a potential deadlock on iOS when reading the camera torch state from the main thread while the camera was starting up.

8.1.0​

Released: December 17, 2025

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Selection is now available in Barcode Capture. Scanning a single barcode is often difficult in environments where multiple barcodes are placed closely together, like on a densely packed warehouse shelf or on a package with various labels. This can lead to scanning the wrong item, causing errors and slowing down operations. Smart Scan Selection solves this problem by automatically detecting when a user is trying to scan in a "dense barcode" environment. The interface then intelligently adapts, providing an aimer to help the user precisely select the desired barcode without needing to manually change any settings. This creates a seamless and more intuitive scanning experience.
  • Extended Aztec codes reader to support scanning mirrored codes.
  • Added support for square DataMatrix codes with one-sided damage or occlusion. This feature is only enabled in Barcode Capture and SparkScan.
  • Added, in BarcodeAr, a new annotation type (BarcodeArResponsiveAnnotation), which automatically switches between close-up and far-away info annotations based on the barcode's size on screen

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.

Core​

  • We've fundamentally redesigned our .NET SDK's architecture to better align with the modern .NET ecosystem!
    • Platform-Agnostic .net8.0 and net9.0 Targets: The SDK now includes generic net8.0 and .net9.0 targets. This allows you to reference Scandit.DataCapture.Core and related packages directly from non-UI projects, such as class libraries or unit test projects. This makes it significantly easier to build modular, testable applications following principles like Clean Architecture.
  • Mandatory SDK Initialization: Due to the architectural changes, the SDK now requires explicit initialization at application startup. The public API has not changed, but you must add the corresponding initialization code to your application for the SDK to function correctly.

ID​

  • Added ElementsToRetain to MobileDocumentScanner: The set of data elements that the application intends to retain from scanned mobile documents. This information is used to set the IntentToRetain flag in ISO 18013-5 mdoc requests, which is required for legal compliance with data protection standards. An empty set indicates no elements will be retained, and IntentToRetain will be set to false for all fields.
  • ID Capture now supports full-frame anonymization.
  • The result of decodeMobileDriverLicenseViz, which is currently returned as part of the VizResult within CapturedId, will now be provided through a new field named mobileDocumentOcr.
  • Added CapturedId::isCitizenPassport, which indicates whether the passport was issued to a citizen of the issuing country. Returns false for travel documents such as refugee, stateless, or alien passports, and for any passports issued by organizations rather than states.
  • The following Chinese travel permits now extract VIZ + MIZ data during double-sided scanning flows:
    • CT - Taiwan Residents Mainland Travel Permit
    • W - Mainland Residents Exit-Entry Permit to and from Hong Kong and Macao
    • CD - Mainland Residents Entry-Exit Permit to and from Taiwan

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Symbology RM4SCC has been renamed to ROYAL_MAIL_4STATE.
  • Changed the default highlight brush in SparkScan and Barcode Capture.

ID​

  • The configuration for the following documents has been changed as detailed below:
    • Australian mobile driver licenses (mDL) are now treated as normal documents, with no separate mode.
    • US Green Cards are now treated as residence permits.
  • Removed the deprecated API DateResult::toDate. Use DateResult::toLocalDate or DateResult::toUtcDate instead.
  • fullName now an optional field on all IdCapture result types and capturedMrz now an optional field on MrzResult.

Bug Fixes​

ID​

  • Fixed a bug that could get the scanner stuck when scanning a US passport card.

Deprecations​

Core​

  • VideoResolution::Auto is now deprecated. Please use the capture mode's recommendedCameraSettings for the best results.

Barcode​

  • All previously deprecated APIs have been removed in this release.
