Added

Changed

  • Changed the SDK architecture from one using inheritance & generics to a composition-based approach

    • Instead of distinctive subclasses such as ALMeterScanViewPlugin, ALIDScanViewPlugin, etc. the SDK offers an ALScanViewPlugin class regardless of the scanning use case

Deprecated

  • Because of the fundamental nature of changes, there are no deprecations to list for this version.
