Release notes
- 🎉 New:
  - Added support for barcode types Pharma Code, Pharma Code Two Track and PZN (Pharmazentralnummer).
  - Added support for the HIBC barcode document format.
  - Added support for advanced configuration of on-image barcode scanning. See more here BarcodeScannerConfiguration.
  - Added the ability to configure the Barcode Scanner using the common barcode configuration, see BarcodeFormatCommonConfiguration.
  - Added an option to ignore barcodes that do not decode to one of the accepted document formats for BarcodeScannerConfiguration. See more here: BarcodeScannerConfiguration.onlyAcceptDocuments.
  - Added new engine modes NEXT_GEN_FAR_DISTANCE and NEXT_GEN_LOW_POWER_FAR_DISTANCE.
    
    NEXT_GEN_FAR_DISTANCE is optimized for scanning from far distances.
    
    NEXT_GEN_LOW_POWER_FAR_DISTANCE is optimized for scanning from far on low-power devices.
  - Added new predefined subsets of barcode formats (1D, 2D, Postal, Pharma, etc.). See more here: BarcodeFormats.
  - Barcode scanning results have been enhanced with more detailed information. See more here: BarcodeItem.
  - Added the ability to return the barcode image in the result. See more here: BarcodeScannerConfiguration.returnBarcodeImage.
  - Images returned in scanner results are now represented as image references. They can be converted to Uint8List or saved in a provided path. See more here: ImageRef.
  - Introduced strictMode for certain barcode configurators. If this mode is disabled, it should allow for a higher detection rate in difficult scenarios, but with the possibility that false positive results may occur. Currently, we support strictMode for QR_CODE, MICRO_QR_CODE, RMQR_CODE, PDF_417, MICRO_PDF417 and GS1_COMPOSITE.
  - Added extractImagesFromPdf function to extract images from PDF files. Returns a list of image paths as List<String>?.
  - Added makeImageRefsSnapshot function to capture a snapshot of all active ImageRef instances. Returns ImageRefPoolSnapshot? with memory usage details.
  - Added licenseStatusMessage property to SdkLicenseStatus.
  - Added PLACE_OF_ISSUE to CommonFieldType for specifying the issuance location of identity cards.
  - Added property hardwareButtonsEnabled to BarcodeCameraConfiguration in Classic component which toggles the original volume button behavior on iOS 17.2 and above.
  - Added cameraZoomRange and minFocusDistanceLock properties to BarcodeCameraConfiguration in Classic component for configuring zoom range and locking minimum focus distance.
  - Added onlyAcceptDocuments and returnBarcodeImage properties to BarcodeClassicScannerConfiguration for improved document filtering and barcode image output.
  - Added new customization properties to SelectionOverlayScannerConfiguration in Classic component: highlightedPolygonColor, highlightedStrokeColor, highlightedTextColor, highlightedTextContainerColor, and strokeColor for improved barcode overlay appearance.
  - Android: Added an option to the RTU-UI Barcode Scanner screen for keeping the screen on.
  - Android: Proguard rules needed for Scanbot SDK are embedded in the package. There is no need to manually specify them in your project.
- 🚀 Improvements:
  - Improved quiet zone checks for the barcode formats ITF, CODE_11, MSI_PLESSEY, IATA_2_OF_5, INDUSTRIAL_2_OF_5 and CODE_25.
  - Improved the false positive rate for ITF barcodes.
  - Improved our Barcode Scanner with a significant speed-up in live mode on very large input resolutions.
  - Improved the recognition of PDF417 barcodes in the Barcode Scanner.
  - Improved the Barcode Scanner to better recognize QR codes if the top left finder pattern is corrupted (up to QR code version size 20).
  - More robust QR code recognition, more tolerance for destroyed or missing timing patterns and alignment patterns and a better performance on artistic QR codes.
  - QR codes with non-square finder patterns and QR codes embedded in adversarial backgrounds (flow codes and more generally) can now be recognized.
  - Improved barcode detection for various barcode types.
  - Improved the performance when scanning four state postal barcodes (i.e. Australia Post, Japanese Post, RM4SCC, Royal TNT Post and USPS Intelligent Mail).
  - Improved memory management, logging, and deallocation safety for classic component, ensuring cleaner lifecycle handling and preventing potential resource leaks.
  - By default, Code 93 now includes check digits in the result. To disable this and restore the previous behavior, set stripCheckDigits = true.
- 🐞 Bug fixes:
  - Fixed checksum for CODE_39 barcode format.
  - Fixed the returned results for all types of UpcEanExtensionBehavior.
  - Fixed an issue when scanning Code93 barcodes with stripCheckDigits = false (default), and the check digit was an extension character.
  - iOS: Fixed processing of still images of an indexed color space model in the Barcode Scanner.
  - iOS: Fixed a bug in the AR Barcode Scan and Count where the scanner would be stuck if there was no barcode detected.
  - iOS: Fixed a bug in the Barcode Scanner RTU-UI v2 where the flip camera button was not resetting the widest camera available if chosen.

  - iOS: Fixed an issue in the classic component where quickly stopping and starting the camera session could lead to a crash or unpredictable behavior.
  - Android: Fixed an overflow when decoding a MICRO_QR_CODE barcode format with wrong bits in numeric mode.
  - Android: Fixed minimumTextLength for ITF barcode format. Before, we used it to check the number of symbols instead of the true text length.
  - Android: Fixed sorting of quad points for four-state/postal barcode types.
  - Android: Fixed quad when flag BarcodeFormatConfigurationBase.addAdditionalQuietZone is enabled.
  - Android: In RTU-UI v2, the modal dialog no longer appears below the status bar.
  - Android: FindAndPickScanningMode.sheetContent.barcodeItemImageVisible in RTU-UI v2 now correctly applies the visibility setting.

  - Renamed expirationDate to licenseExpirationDate and status to licenseStatus in SdkLicenseStatus.
  - Renamed enum Status to LicenseStatus with updated PascalCase values (e.g., StatusOkay → Okay).
  - Replaced shouldReturnCroppedImage with returnBarcodeImage in BarcodeClassicScannerConfiguration for clarity and consistency.
  - Replaced type BarcodeType with BarcodeFormat.
  - Replaced property recognizerConfiguration of type BarcodeRecognizerConfiguration with scannerConfiguration of type CommonBarcodeScannerConfiguration.

Release notes
- 🎉 New:
  - Introduced the redesigned RTU-UI version 2 for enhanced Barcode scanning, featuring advanced agile configuration options. See Ready-to-Use UI for documentation and various use cases.
  - Added support for the Micro PDF 417 barcode format.
  - Added support for parsing of AAMVA Certificate of Title for motor vehicle barcodes.
  - Added a new field shouldReturnCroppedImage in BarcodeClassicScannerConfiguration for the BarcodeScannerCamera Classic UI. If set to true, the result will be returned in the barcodeImageBase64 field of the BarcodeItem model.
  - Launched the new FindAndPickScanningMode
- 🚀 Improvements:
  - Optimized camera preview quality and processing speed for all scanners.
  - iOS:
    
    IMPORTANT: Changed the default rear cameras on all scanners to the triple or dual camera. On some devices with triple camera this results in a different view port (more zoomed in). Please make sure to adapt your zoom ranges and factors.
    
    Added support of haptic feedback on capable devices.
  - Android:
    
    Changed the touch to focus square in the native camera view to a circle.
