  • [Tire] Improved the accuracy for TIN/DOT recognition & detection

  • [Tire] Validation regex is now configurable from pluginConfig

  • [ID] Improved the performance for ID scanning

  • [ID] Improved the accuracy of Turkish IDs

Fixed

Document Scanner Support Dropped

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

Android

Added

  • Added PluginResult for describing result data

    • Added a type of plugin result for each scanning capability

  • [Tire] Added tire size specification fields to the result

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

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

Changed

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

    • Instead of distinctive subclasses such as MeterScanViewPlugin, IDScanViewPlugin, etc. the SDK offers an ScanViewPlugin class regardless of the scanning use case

  • Changed the structure of how scanning use-cases are constructed through JSON

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

Deprecated

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