Release Notes for C SDK - 9.x

9.2.0 (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.

Added a new method DBR_SetDeviceFriendlyName to set a human-readable name that identifies the device.

Fixed a bug that DBR_InitLicense failed when using online license on Linux ARM 32-bit system.

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.

Added BF_CODE_11 under Enumeration BarcodeFormat to specify newly supported barcode format, Code 11.
Added BF2_PHARMACODE_ONE_TRACK, BF2_PHARMACODE_TWO_TRACK and BF2_PHARMACODE under Enumeration BarcodeFormat_2 to specify newly supported barcode format, Pharmacode.
Added a new error code DBRERR_PHARMACODE_LICENSE_INVALID which will be returned when the license of Pharmacode is invalid.
Added DRM_BROAD_WARP, DRM_LOCAL_REFERENCE and DRM_DEWRINKLE under Enumeration DeformationResistingMode to apply new deformation resisting modes.
Added a parameter FormatSpecification.PartitionModes
Added a parameter FormatSpecification.VerifyCheckDigit
Added new argument ConfidenceThreshold to the LocalizationModes mode arguments.

Changed value of BF_ONED under Enumeration BarcodeFormat to 0x003007FF to have BF_CODE_11 combined.
Changed value of BF_ALL under Enumeration BarcodeFormat to 0xFE3FFFFF to have BF_CODE_11 combined.
Changed the behaviour of DeformationResistingMode DRM_GENERAL which now only applies basic process to resist deformation.
Changed the return value of the method DBR_GetIdleInstancesCount from 0 to -1 when the available count needs to be updated from server by calling DBR_InitLicense.

Fixed a bug that might cause a crash when using multiple threads for barcode decoding.
Fixed a bug that Function Code 1 (FNC1) character would not return if it was in the first position of GS1-128 codes.
Other small fixes and tweaks.

DBR_InitLicense now needs two more parameters to return detailed error message.

The following items are now deprecated. They still work in this version but could be removed in the near future.
