Transition guide

1.3.0

• Remove the old .embeddedframework package completely from your project

• Add new .framework and .bundle package to your project. Verify that Framework search path really contains a path to the .framework folder.

• replace all occurrences of PPCoordinator's method isScanningUnsupported: to isScanningUnsupportedForCameraType:error:. If you use Back facing camera, use PPCameraTypeBack, otherwise PPCameraTypeFront.

• Rename PPMetadataSettings properties

  • successfulScanFrame rename to successfulFrame
  • currentVideoFrame rename to currentFrame

1.2.0

• You can now enable Bitcode support in your project.

• If you used mrtdRoi and detectMachineReadbleZonePosition, just delete the lines of code where you used them. MRTD is now automatically detected

• Renamed PPUkdlRecognizerResult's property ownerAdress to ownerAddress (fixed typo)

• You now need to link your app with Accelerate.framework system library. This is due to new optimizations in character recognition.

1.1.0

• No backwards incompatible changes. See Release notes for new features.

1.0.1

• No backwards incompatible changes

Transition to 1.0.0

• If you're using direct API, just delete all calls to PPCoordinator initializeRecognizers and PPCoordinator terminateRecognizers. These calls are now performed internally

• rotatedImage property of PPImageMetadata no longer exists. Use image property instead, it correctly handles rotation.

• PPApp class is no longer a part of the API.

• PPMetadataSettings was cleaned up - use the alternative names provided listed in the header file.

0.9.6

• No backwards incompatible changes

0.9.5

• No backwards incompatible changes

0.9.4

• No backwards incompatible changes

Transition to 0.9.3

• This version uses a new license key format. If you had a license key generated prior to v0.9.3, contact us so we can regenerate the lincense key for you.

• UK Driver's license support added. To scan them, add PPUkdlRecognizerSettings to settings.scanSettings

[settings.scanSettings addRecognizerSettings:[[PPUkdlRecognizerSettings alloc] init]];

• To collect UKDL results, look for PPUkdlRecognizerResult object in scanningViewController:didOutputResults: callback

for (PPRecognizerResult *result in results) {
        if ([result isKindOfClass:[PPUkdlRecognizerResult class]]) {
                PPUkdlRecognizerResult* ukdlResult = (PPUkdlRecognizerResult*)result;
                [self processUkdlResult:ukdlResult scanningViewController:scanningViewController];
        }
}

• PPCoordinator class now exposes fewer public methods and properties.

Transition to 0.9.2

• Classes representing scanning results were renamed. Renaming was performed to match naming convention of PPRecognizerSettings hierarcy: now each PPRecognizerSettings class has it's matching PPRecognizerResult. Replace all existing references to old class names with the new ones:

  • PPBaseResult was renamed to PPRecognizerResult.

• PPOcrResult (class representing a result of the OCR process, with individual characters, lines and blocks), was renamed to PPOcrLayout. Name change was introduced to further distinguish the class from PPRecognizerResult classes.

• Remove all references to updateScanningRegion method since it's now being called automatically in setScanningRegion setter.

Transition to 0.9.1

• Framework was renamed to MicroBlink.embeddedframework. Remove the existing .embeddedframwork package from your project, and drag&drop MicroBlink.embeddedframework in the project explored of your Xcode project.

• If necessary, after the update, modify your framework search path so that it points to the MicroBlink.embeddedframework folder.

• Main header of the framework was renamed to <MicroBlink/Microblink.h>. Change all references to previous header with the new one.

• method [PPCoordinator isPhotoPaySupported] was renamed to [PPCoordinator isScanningSupported]. Change all occurances of the method name.
