Release Notes for Dynamsoft Barcode Reader - 9.x

9.6

First released: 11-29-2022

Image orientation handling is supported by a new feature. With the new feature, you can:
- Get a TranformationMatrix along with the barcode location result.
- Implement coordinates transformation on the barcode location result with the TransformationMatrix.
DotCode decoding is improved by optimizing the localization of DotCodes that are close to one another.
EAN8 barcode decoding is improved by honing the accuracy of localization algorithms.
QR code localizing is improved by reducing the mis-assemble rate of the finder patterns when using the localization mode LM_CONNECTED_BLOCK or LM_SCAN_DIRECTLY, which are designed for speed. The mis-assembling only occurs when there exist dense QR codes on the same image.
Mirrored rectangular DataMatrix barcode is supported by implementing MirrorMode when localizing the barcodes.
Deformed barcode decoding is improved by extending the supported modes and mode arguments of DeformationResistingModes.

First released: 06-07-2022

Barcode boundary-seeking algorithm is refactored to improve stability.
Pharmacode decoding is optimized to improve accuracy.
The function of device-alias is added to allow users to give each device a readable name. For end-users and administrators, this makes it more friendly to distinguish between devices about license usage statistics.

First released: 03-15-2022

Simplified the license activation steps. Different license activation APIs are integrated into initLicense method.
Added support for Pharmacode.
Added support for Code 11, a 1D format.
Deformation resisting modes DRM_BROAD_WARP, DRM_LOCAL_REFERENCE and DRM_DEWRINKLE are optimized and detached from DRM_GENERAL. Users can specify a more effective deformation resisting mode when processing QRCode and DataMatrix codes.
Optimized the confidence scoring system for PDF417 codes.
