[43.0.0] - 2023-02-06

Breaking Changes

Release 43 introduces fundamental changes & improvements to how the Anyline SDK works. To upgrade from an old SDK version, check out the migration guide. For an up-to-date list of known issues and limitations, please check here.
Document Scanner Support Dropped

As of Anyline v43, the Document Scanner plugin has been removed and the feature will no longer be supported.

Added

  • [Barcode] AAMVA parsing for PDF417 codes on driving licenses

  • [Tire] Tire size specification fields to scan results

  • ALPluginConfig for describing configuration data, including a type of configuration for each scanning capability

  • ALPluginResult for describing result data, including a type of plugin result for each scanning capability

  • Configuration types for every scanning use-case with a corresponding result type

Changed

  • [ID] Restructured scan results in a way that every field can contain date- & multi-language information

  • The SDK architecture is changed 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

  • Structure of how scanning use-cases are constructed through JSON
