    • All scanner components have been switched to zoom ratio (values 1x, 2x, etc.) instead of linear zoom (from 0 to 1). Methods renamed: setOpticalZoomRange() -> setPhysicalZoomRange(); setOpticalZoomLevel() -> setPhysicalZoomRatio() in ScanbotCameraXView, DocumentScannerView, BarcodeScanAndCountView and BarcodeScannerView. setPhysicalZoomRange() and setPhysicalZoomRatio() accept possible zoom values from 0.5x up to 100x. NOTE: if the value sent to the camera is out of range for a specific device's capabilities, then the camera will try to set the max or min possible for that specific device. eg. Zoom 100x will only work on some high-end Samsung devices, whereas other devices will only have 12x-30x max. The same goes for minimum supported values, 0.5x is a wide-format camera module that does not exist on many Android devices.
    • IMPORTANT! Removed deprecated BlurEstimator feature. Use DocumentQualityAnalyzer instead.
  • 🚙 Under the hood:
    • Updated version of Nameof C++ library to v0.10.3.

      • Added mrzGenericDocument.document.wrap() utility method, which returns a structured object (io.scanbot.genericdocument.entity.MRZ) with MRZ-specific fields for easier access to the detected fields.
      • Removed validCheckDigitsCount: Int, checkDigitsCount: Int, rawMrz: String, and checkDigits: List<MRZCheckDigit> from the resulting model. All this data can be extracted from the GenericDocument.
      • The travelDocType: MRZDocumentType is now represented by the documentType: MRZDocumentType field in the MRZGenericDocument instance.
    • Date fields in the MRZGenericDocument result model now contain an unformatted date string.

Version 2.2.0 (27 Apr 2023)​

  • 🎉 New:
    • Added type BarcodeFormat.CODE_25 that was previously considered as type INDUSTRIAL_2OF5 without checksum. The INDUSTRIAL_2OF5 checksum option is now removed and thus, depending on a valid checksum, we either return INDUSTRIAL_2OF5 or CODE_25.
    • Added new field settings in DocumentScannerActivity.Result. It contains the state of the screen options (e.g. autoSnapping, flashEnabled, etc). Since this class implements Parcelable, its instance can be saved and restored for the next scanning session.
    • A new machine-learning based machine-readable zone recognizer has been introduced.
    • Portuguese ID cards (old and new format) can now be recognized by the MRZ scanners.
  • 🚀 Improvements:
    • Added BarcodeItemViewPositionHandler that helps to adjust the position of the barcode description view in relation to the polygon contour.
    • Improved preview quality selection logic for ScanbotCameraXView.
    • Improved GenericDocumentRecognizerFrameHandler's Rect cropping logic when working with FinderOverlayView.
    • Patient info box recognition has been improved in the medical certificate scanners.
    • Stacked RSS barcode scanning has seen substantial improvements.

      • MedicalCertificateInfoBox.patientInfoFields property now available as MedicalCertificateInfoBox.patientInfoBox.patientInfoFields.
      • DateRecord.validationConfidenceValue removed.
    • Removed method ScanbotSDKInitializer.prepareMRZBlobs(). MRZ blobs must now be added as a separate module dependency in Gradle: implementation("io.scanbot:sdk-mrz-assets:<SDK_VERSION>").
    • Removed MRZRecognitionResult.recognizedMRZLines as it was replaced with MRZRecognitionResult.rawMrz.
    • Removed parameter decodeStacks1D. The decoding of stacked barcodes is now handled automatically.
    • FrameHandler interface was converted to an abstract class. If you have custom FrameHandlers, please add constructor invocation to your FrameHandler implementation.
    • Some of the Scanbot SDK artifact IDs have been changed and need to be updated in your build.gradle's dependencies block:
      • for users of io.scanbot:sdk-package-1, -2, -3 or -4 that use barcode scanning, the dependency of io.scanbot:sdk-barcode-assets should be updated to io.scanbot:bundle-sdk-barcode-assets (NOTE: barcode standalone SDK users do not need to adjust anything in this case: io.scanbot:scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk and -sdk-ui dependencies are to stay as is!)
      • all users of io.scanbot:sdk-crypto-persistence should change this dependency to io.scanbot:bundle-sdk-crypto-persistence (or to io.scanbot:barcode-sdk-crypto-persistence if you are using Scanbot Barcode standalone SDK)
  • 🚙 Under the hood:
    • Enabled -fstack-protector-all on Android
    • Removed usage of backward-cpp library.
    • Removed outdated assets for MRZ detection.
    • FrameHandlers won't return the result if FrameHandler.isEnabled is set to false after actual frame detection.
    • We now append the bundle- or barcode- prefix to almost all of our SDK dependencies' names. The modules that have not been changed are those used by customers: rtu-ui-bundle, scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk, scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk-ui, io.scanbot:sdk-package-1, -2, -3 and -4 modules, all *-assets modules. The exception to this are modules scanbot-barcode-assets and scanbot-sdk-crypto-persistence: these will have corresponding prefixes from now on, depending on what SDK they are being used for.

    • Added setForceMaxSnappingQuality(enabled: Boolean) in IScanbotCameraView interface (implemented only on ScanbotCameraXView implementation): controls whether the camera should force the maximum possible quality of the snapped picture. As a result, the snapping speed could be significantly slower and the resulting image could be bigger. The default is false.
    • Added setSnappingAutoAdjustment(enabled: Boolean) in IScanbotCameraView (implemented only on ScanbotCameraXView implementation): controls whether the camera should apply the final image post-processing (e.g., switching to a low-light mode or HDR, applying face retouch, etc.). Implementation of post-processing depends on the vendor's implementation of Camera API. The default is false.
  • 🐞 Bug fixes:

    • Fixed an issue with the NFC scanner not working for some devices, e.g. Xiaomi Mi10.
    • Improved behavior of FinderOverlayView and its child classes. Now any Finder View can inject other layouts inside itself and these parts would be properly positioned with the finder window changes. There are 3 customizable parts:
      • top - is a zone above the finder window. Can be used for inserting some hints.
      • bottom - is a zone below the finder window. Can be used for inserting some hints.
