• Changed the type of the FinderAspectRatio fields: height and width were changed from int to double.
• Changed NextGen and Legacy engine modes to NEXT_GEN and LEGACY in EngineMode.
• Moved some code for internal reasons - users might need to update their imports:
  • package:barcode_scanner/common_data.dart was moved to package:barcode_scanner/json/common_data.dart.
  • EngineMode, BarcodeImageGenerationType, and FinderAspectRatio were moved from package:barcode_scanner/barcode_scanning_data.dart to package:barcode_scanner/json/common_data.dart.

• Added FinderInsets class for setting the barcode view insets from all four sides (left, top, right and bottom).
• Added finderInsets property of type FinderInsets in FinderConfiguration class.
• Added BarcodeDensity enum for expected density of QR codes. A higher density finds more QR codes in an image but the performance is slightly reduced.
• Added codeDensity property of type BarcodeDensity enum in BarcodeAdditionalParameters.
• Android: Added useButtonsAllCaps bool property in BarcodeScannerConfiguration and BatchBarcodeScannerConfiguration for buttons to be in ALL CAPS.

• Fixed compatibility issue with Kotlin 1.7.10 (build error)

• Added the ability to replace the cancel button in the top bar with a back arrow icon in BarcodeScanner and BatchBarcodeScanner RTU-UI (Android only). See replaceCancelButtonWithIcon in BarcodeScannerConfiguration and BatchBarcodeScannerConfiguration

• Introduced Classical Components for Barcode Scanning that allow you to build your own flexible and fully customizable UI for the barcode scanner. Use the classes BarcodeScannerCamera, BarcodeCameraLiveDetector and ScanbotCameraController to build a custom scanner UI.

• Renamed parameter gs1DecodingEnabled to enableGS1Decoding in BarcodeAdditionalParameters
• Renamed Disability Certificate to Medical Certificate:
  • DisabilityCertificateDocument has been renamed to MedicalCertificateDocument
