16.2 (01/18/2021)

New Features

  • Connection with the Dynamsoft Service is now maintained after the computer awake from sleep or hibernation.
    • Only on Windows or macOS.
  • Added a new event OnBufferChanged which is triggered when the buffer changes like
    • New pages enter the buffer.
    • Existing pages are removed.
    • Existing pages are modified.
    • Existing pages are shifted.
    • Existing pages are filtered by a specified tag.
    • Page selection changes.

  • Added a configuration page to update the host or ports of the Dynamsoft Service. By default, this page can be accessed by the URL http://127.0.0.1:18625/admin/.

  • The default loader bar can now be customized with the API Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.CustomizableDisplayInfo.loaderBarSource.
    • Only effective when set before the page finishes loading (i.e. before DOMContentLoaded).

  • Added a new global property Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.IfAlwaysFocusOnPopupWindow to control whether to set focus on scanner-related windows opened by the Dynamsoft Service when the browser tab on which the SDK is running is active. In the past, these windows will be on top no matter which browser tab is active.

  • Shadow DOM is officially supported.

  • Added support for ARM-based macOS.

  • Added support for 64-bit Raspberry Pi.

Improved Features

  • Made the viewer more independent and robust. Related APIs are redesigned.
  • Scanning remotely now supports showing the Manufacturer’s User Interface.
  • Improved the tagging mechanism
    • Added a new method RenameTag() to rename an existing tag.
    • Added a new method ClearFilter() to stop filtering images by tag.
    • The method FilterImagesByTag() shows all images if no parameter is passed or shows no image at all if the tag value passed doesn’t exist or there is no images under that tag.

  • Updated the signatures for the files on macOS so that TWAIN drivers can be populated correctly.

  • Added global configuration options for the WASM-mode which includes maxHeapSize and fetchOptions.

  • Improved the methods getCapabilities and setCapabilities so that they work for ICA drivers on macOS too.

  • The Barcode Reader add-on is upgraded from 7.4.0.0428 to 7.6.0.0112.
  • Improved the display quality of the viewer in single-image mode (-1 * -1).

Changed Behaviours

  • When the view changes from single-image mode to multi-image mode, the cursor used to be changed to “hand” which means you can drag and drop images, in v16.2, the cursor will stay unchanged. In other words, if the cursor was “crosshair” in single-image mode, it’ll continue to be “crosshair” in multi-image mode which means you can continue to draw rectangles on these images (NOTE that you can only draw on the current image). You can use the property Viewer.cursor to change the cursor in this case.

  • The properties Width and Height will always return the actual number of pixels even if you set them with a percentage like “50%”.

  • The properties BackgroundColor and SelectionImageBorderColor will always return a string that represents the style (colour, border, etc.) even if you set them with numbers. For example, BackgroundColor returns “#000032” if you set it to “50” and SelectionImageBorderColor returns “1px solid #000032” when you set it to “50”. Also, these two properties are deprecated and should be replaced by Viewer.background and Viewer.selectedPageBorder.

  • The properties IfFitWindow and FitWindowType are now write-only as their actual values may not be correct when you read them. As these properties are deprecated, use fitWindow() instead.

  • Added a 3rd parameter fill to the method play() which determines whether the video should fill the whole viewer and have a part of the video hidden. In v16.1.1-, the default behavior is to fill the whole viewer and in v16.2, it’ll put the video within the viewer and possibly leave some margin.

  • On macOS, the default transfer mode for TWAIN drivers is changed from “native” to “memory”.

  • The “Cut” (“Erase”) button in the image editor now cuts the selected area to the clipboard instead of just erasing the area.

  • The “Stretch” button is deleted from the image editor.

  • The type declaration files are now included in the dwt package. From version 16.2 on, these files are no longer maintained on DefinitelyTyped.

Breaking changes

Moved

  • The methods showVideo() and closeVideo() are moved from the interface Viewer to Addon.Camera.

  • The method showVideo() has added two more parameters mode and fill and the video starts in the new default picture mode. To get the old behavior, use the document mode.

Deleted

  • The property SelectedImagesCount and the method GetSelectedImageIndex() are deleted. Use SelectedImagesIndices instead.

  • The method SetSelectedImageIndex() is deleted. Use SelectImages() instead.

  • The method UpdateViewer() is deleted. There is no alternative method.

  • The second parameter for the method BindViewer() is deleted and it has only one parameter to specify the HTML element now. Therefore, you cannot use this method to create a thumbnail viewer anymore. Use the new method createThumbnailViewer() instead.

Others

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where if you create a WebTwain instance under WASM-mode and then destroy it and create another WebTwain instance under Service-mode, you will be prompted to install the Dynamsoft Service even if it is already installed.

  • Fixed a bug with the scanner model “Canon DR-M260” (200 series) where the manufacturer’s UI hangs or disappears once it is shown.

  • Fixed a bug on macOS where 1-bit TIFF files become inverted once they are transferred via the system clipboard.

  • Fixed a bug where changing the UI of the image editor will affect the main viewer.

  • Fixed a bug where the method updateRuntimeSettings will overwrite all settings you set with the method initRuntimeSettingsWithString.

  • Fixed a bug where the wrong PDF library is referenced when the SDK switches to the Service-mode from WASM-mode.

  • Fixed a bug on mobile devices where once an image is cut, its metadata is lost and can no longer be printed (it appears blank when being printed).

  • Fixed a bug where if the Dynamsoft Service is not installed and a WebTwain instance is created using the method CreateDWTObject() or CreateDWTObjectEx(), the connection to the service is not attempted automatically as expected (a page refreshing is required).

  • Fixed a bug with the API Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.CustomizableDisplayInfo so that it now works again.

  • Fixed a bug where removed images remain in the viewer.

  • Fixed a bug where if you set the display attribute of the viewer to none, it becomes black.

  • Fixed a bug where global keyboard or mouse events registered to the Dynamsoft Viewer were not released correctly.

Deprecations

Changes to the ActiveX Edition

  • Internet Explorer 8 is no longer supported.
  • Fixed a bug where when saving an image as TIFF, the same image gets duplicated in the buffer.

16.1.1 (08/13/2020)

Changed Behaviours

  • Whether to load the WASM for the Camera module is now optional (used to be mandatory in 16.1 ) and is disabled by default.

  • The webcam/camera license is now considered a core license and can be used without a scan license.

16.1 (08/04/2020)

New Features

  • Added method SetProductKeyAsync() which sets the product key asynchronously. Previously, the property ProductKey was used for both setting and reading the key. The same behavior is kept in 16.1 but the recommendation now is to use the method SetProductKeyAsync() to set it and use the property ProductKey to read it.

  • Added methods GetSourceNamesAsync(), SelectSourceAsync(), SelectSourceByIndexAsync(), OpenSourceAsync(), CloseSourceAsync(), OpenSourceManagerAsync(), CloseSourceManagerAsync() , as asynchronous complements to their existing synchronous methods.

  • Support showing both 64-bit TWAIN drivers and 32-bit TWAIN drivers at the same time.

NOTE: This driver type does not work if we call SelectSource() synchronously (without callbacks).

  • Added APIs under Addon.Camera as a complement to the existing APIs under Addon.Webcam . These APIs include getSourceList() , selectSource() , getCurrentSource() , closeSource() , getResolution() , setResolution() , getCurrentResolution() , play() , pause() , resume() , stop() , getStatus() and capture() . Unlike the old APIs under Addon.Webcam which are good only on Windows, the new APIs are good on Windows, macOS, Linux as well as iOS & Android.

  • Added a perperty UseLocalService to return whether a WebTwain instance is running in the Local-Service mode or WASM mode.

  • Added built-in video processing feature which enables video streaming, edge detection, perspective adjustment, capturing, etc. Related APIs include showVideo(), closeVideo() and two callbacks video-closed and video-error .

NOTE: on desktop, this feature requires a webcam/camera addon license.

Extra Features

  • Added a feature to run Dynamsoft Service with the account “Local Service”. By default, it is still “Local System”. Contact Dynamsoft to learn more.

Beta Feature

  • 16.1 now supports acquiring images from a remote scanner which is connected to a machine which is connected via HTTP. This feature is designed to enable document scanning on mobile devices.

Better Performance

  • Improved the speed to initialize the library under WASM mode by splitting one WebAssembly file into multiple files and loading them in the background.
  • Improved memory usage by sharing the same heap among multiple WebAssembly workers.
  • Improved image decoding by removing unnecessary image processing operations as well as lowering the memory usage.
  • Improved data transferring efficiency by using pointers instead of strings.
  • Improved performance by saving compiled WebAssembly code into the working process for later use.

Changed Behaviours

  • This version is backward compatible with version 16.0. This means once you have installed the Dynamsoft Service for version 16.1, an application running version 16.0 also works without the need to install the Service for version 16.0.
  • The method LoadImageEx() now supports mobile platforms as well.
  • Dynamsoft Service directory is now named with its major version in it. For example, /DynamsoftServicex64/ is now /DynamsoftServicex64_16/. Also ActiveX related files are put into a different directory called /WebTWAINActiveX/ .

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where images fail to show in the viewer in IE 10.
  • Fixed a bug in Chrome where the print UI invoked by the API Print() disappears immediately after showing up.
  • Fixed a bug with the API Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.Host which is now effective.
  • Fixed a bug with consecutive cropping operations with the API Crop().
  • Fixed a bug with WebTwain instances created by the API Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.CreateDWTObjectEx() so that their UI binding works correctly.

Deprecations

No deprecation in version 16.1.

Changes to the ActiveX Edition

No changes in version 16.1.

16.0 (06/16/2020)

Features to the Core Module

  • Added a new mobile edition that enables document capturing via mobile cameras and other document manipulation functionalities. Most of the existing methods and properties are made compliant with this new edition.
  • Added WASM based document manipulation functionalities which enable the use of all features of Dynamic Web TWAIN except for document scanning without installing the Dynamsoft Service.
  • Added setting Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.UseLocalService to switch the working mode of the library between Local-Service mode and WASM mode. Only valid on desktop operating systems.
  • Replaced the built-in image viewer including the built-in image editor with the Dynamsoft Viewer.
  • The creation of a WebTwain instance is now independent from the UI. In version 16.0, you can create a WebTwain instance in 4 ways
    • Specify a Container that has a ContainerId and assign it to Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.Containers . A ContainerId is essentially the id of an HTMLDivElement element which is required for generating a built-in Dynamsoft Viewer. Then call the method Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.GetWebTwain() with ContainerId as the argument to get the instance.
    • Call the method Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.CreateDWTObject() to create an instance with built-in Dynamsoft Viewer.
    • Specify a Container that has a WebTwainId but no ContainerId and assign it to Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.Containers . A WebTwainId is just a string to uniquely specify the instance. Then call the new method Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.GetWebTwainEx() with WebTwainId as the argument to get the instance.
    • Call the method Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.CreateDWTObjectEx() to create an instance without a built-in Dynamsoft Viewer.

Note

If a WebTwain instance is created without a built-in Dynamsoft Viewer, you can create a Viewer later and bind it to the existing WebTwain instance using the new method BindViewer() . The Viewer can also be updated or unbound with the new methods UpdateViewer() and UnbindViewer() .

  • Added method LoadImageFromBinary() to enable importing data from binary (an object of the type Blob or ArrayBuffer).
  • Added methods getCapabilities() and setCapabilities() which enables fast capability negotiation.
  • Added method EnableSourceUI() to enable TWAIN configuration without scanning.
  • Added method SelectImages() to select one or multiple images programmatically. This method replaces the old APIs SetSelectedImageIndex() and SelectedImagesCount .
  • Added property SelectedImagesIndices to return the indices of selected images. This property replaces the old API GetSelectedImageIndex() .
  • Added Viewer-specific APIs: setViewMode() , updateUISettings() , setButtonClass() , setSelectedImageArea() , zoomIn() , zoomOut() , bindCustomElement() , showCustomElement() , hideCustomElement() , toggleCustomElement() . These methods should be called like this: DWObject.Viewer.zoomIn() .

Updated Add-on Features

  • Added PDF Rasterizer mobile edition.
  • Extended the PDF Rasterizer on desktop to the WASM mode.
  • Replaced the old barcode reader add-on with a new add-on which now supports both Local-Service mode and WASM mode of the desktop editions as well as the mobile edition.

Better Performance

  • In favor of the WASM mode, image transferring now uses JPEG more often than PNG. Previously, there was only the Local-Service mode and only PNG was used.
  • The following methods are made asynchronous (while still synchronous-compliant):

ChangeImageSize() , ConvertToBW() , ConvertToGrayScale() , Crop() , Erase() , FilterImageByTag() , Flip() , GetSelectedImageSize() , GetSkewAngle() , Invert() , Mirror() , Rotate() , RotateEx() , RotateLeft() , RotateRight() , SetDPI() , SetImageWidth()

NOTE

These APIs must be called asynchronously in the WASM mode.

Changed Behaviours

  • The methods HTTPDownload() and HTTPDownloadEx() no longer has the “Content-Type” header in their HTTP Get requests.
  • The method GetSourceNames(true) now returns more information which includes “DriverType” and “DeviceInfo”.

Deprecations

  • Deprecated SetSelectedImageIndex(), GetSelectedImageIndex() and SelectedImagesCount in favor of the new method SelectImages() .
  • Deprecated IfOpenImageWithGDIPlus in favor of the built-in imaging decoder.
  • Deprecated the following APIs in favor of the new methods getCapabilities() and setCapabilities() :

CapGet() , CapGetHelp() , CapGetCurrent() , CapGetDefault() , CapGetFrameBottom() , CapGetFrameLeft() , CapGetFrameRight() , CapGetFrameTop() , CapGetLabel() , CapGetLabels() , CapSet() , CapReset() , CapSetFrame() , CapIfSupported() , GetCapItems() , GetCapItemsString() , SetCapItems() , SetCapItemsString() , Capability , CapNumItems , CapMaxValue , CapMinValue , CapCurrentValue , CapCurrentIndex , CapDefaultValue , CapDefaultIndex , CapType , CapValueType , CapDescription , CapStepSize , CapValue , CapValueString

15.3.1 (03/05/2020)

Improved

  • [HTML5] When reinstalling the Dynamsoft service, the service configuration file DSConfiguration.ini will now be replaced directly.

Fixed

  • [HTML5] Fixed a bug where the scanner stops responding when you cancel the scan multiple times.
  • [HTML5] Fixed a bug where the scanner stops responding when the library tries to retrieve extended information that contains magnetic data.
  • [HTML5] Fixed a bug where images can‘t be selected in batches (CTRL/SHIFT + Click) after swapping the current tag.

15.3 (01/07/2020)

New

  • [HTML5] Added a new configuration extendedImageInfoQueryLevel for the method AcquireImage() that allows setting up how the library queries extended image info items. In version 15.2, the default level would result in scanning failure or serious performance issues with some scanners.
  • [HTML5] Added a new method GetSourceNames(bool bIncludeDetails) that returns the list of available data sources as a string array. On Windows, when bIncludeDetails is set to true , this method returns more details about the sources including its protocol versions, manufacturer and whether it’s the default/current source, etc.
  • [HTML5] Added a new method SelectAllImages() that can select all images in buffer or all images that have been filtered by tags.
  • [HTML5] Added a new method ConvertToBW(number imageIndex) that converts a specific image to Black & White.
  • [HTML5] Added a new method Invert(number imageIndex) that inverts a specific image.

Improved

  • [HTML5] changing the methods HTTPUploadThroughPostDirectly(), HTTPDownloadDirectly() to only work on whitelisted images/files (check NOTE below).
  • [HTML5] Changing the default SSL certificates is now officially supported.
  • [HTML5] Changed the property LogLevel so that when it’s set to 1\0 , it’s equivalent to setting LogLevel to 14\1 in the file C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Dynamsoft\DynamsoftServicex64\DSConfiguration.ini
  • [HTML5] Local caching is made smoother by introducing a new process to do the caching when the threshold is reached. As a result, it is significantly faster when loading a great many files.
  • [HTML5 on macOS] When using ICA(Image Capture Architecture) sources, info that was written to system log is now written to wtss.log .
  • [Upload Module] Now the module can only upload files/images that are whitelisted (check NOTE below)

Note on how whitelisting is done

Dynamsoft Service keeps a whitelist of all images in buffer as well as images saved by the Service. The whitelist lives on until the current service process is destroyed. Each Dynamic Web TWAIN object keeps a whitelist of file paths that are retrieved in the callback OnGetFilePath for the method ShowFileDialog() .

Deprecated

[HTML5] Further improved security by deleting the methods FTPUploadDirectly() , FTPDownloadDirectly() , FileExists().

Fixed

[HTML5] Fixed a bug where Dynamsoft Service gets stuck when you try to perform concurrent operations on the same image(s) like uploading and converting them at the same time. [HTML5] Fixed a bug where Dynamsoft Service crashes when the callback OnBitmapChanged is called recursively.

15.2 (09/19/2019)

New

  • [HTML5] Added the capability to add tags to images. The tags can then be used to filter the images. The new APIs are TagImages() , ClearImageTags() , SetDefaultTag() and FilterImagesByTag() .

Improved

  • [HTML5] Tidied up the Dynamsoft Service installer by removing redundant files.
  • [HTML5] Unified image decoding capabilities for JPEG and PNG on Windows, macOS and Linux.
  • [HTML5] Improved the speed of PDF decoding by loading the file as a whole instead of per page.
  • [HTML5 on Windows] Improved Windows buffer management so that its capacity is only limited by the size of disk space on the machine.
  • [HTML5 on macOS] Improved macOS installers for better user experience.
  • [ActiveX] Aligned PDF rasterizer in ActiveX so that it shares the same feature set with the HTML5 edition.

Fixed

  • [HTML5] Fixed a bug with the API CreateTextFont() where the text takes up extra space when it is rotated by 90 degrees.
  • [HTML5] Fixed a bug where printing results in unnecessary extra blank pages in Firefox or IE11.
  • [HTML5] Fixed a bug where a missing filename parameter results in upload failure.
  • [HTML5 on Windows] Fixed a bug where the library attempts to download an incorrect installer when the Barcode Reader add-on is used.
  • [HTML5 on Windows] Fixed a bug with the API GenerateURLForUploadData() so that it returns an URL that shows the correct SDK version.
  • [All] Fixed a bug where 8-bit image data can’t be compressed as a JPEG-TIFF.
  • [All] Fixed a bug with the event OnTopImageInTheViewChanged() where it doesn’t get triggered if images are acquired into an empty buffer.

15.1 (08/13/2019)

New

  • [macOS] Added 64bit support to macOS.
  • [macOS & Linux] Expanded the event OnPostTransferAsync from Windows to macOS & Linux. The method serves as the asynchronous counterpart to the existing synchronous event OnPostTransfer . Information about the transferred image is returned in the event listener.
  • [macOS & Linux] Expanded the method startScan() from Windows to macOS & Linux. The method accepts a JSON object that specifies all the scan parameters. This makes it simpler and even faster to initiate a scan job. At the same time, you can specify how you want the scanned data to be processed by adding extra output parameters in the same JSON object.

Improved

  • [Win] Improved the methods ConvertToBlob() , ConvertToBase64() and image loading methods so that they can handle much bigger files.
  • [Linux] Improved the image encode/decode functionalities on Linux so that it can encode/decode files just like Windows.
  • [macOS & Linux] Expanded PDF related capabilities to macOS and Linux so that all 3 platforms share the same features.
  • [macOS & Linux] Improved the PDF decode engine so that it can load more PDF files without invoking the PDF rasterizer.

Fixed

  • [Win] Fixed a bug where some scanners can only scan with document feeder but not the flatbed.

15.0 (06/27/2019)

New

  • [HTML5 on Windows] Added a new method startScan() which accepts a JSON object that specifies all the scan parameters. This makes it simpler and even faster to initiate a scan job. At the same time, you can specify how you want the scanned data to be processed by adding extra output parameters in the same JSON object.
  • [HTML5 on Windows] Added a new event OnPostTransferAync as the asynchronous counterpart to the existing synchronous event OnPostTransfer . Information about the transferred image is returned in the event listener.
  • [HTML5 on Windows] Added a new PDF core DLL as the default engine for PDF encoding & decoding. This new PDF DLL has added support for JPEG2000 and JBIG2 compression types.
  • [HTML5 on Windows] Added a new method PDF.Write.Setup() which accepts a JSON object that contains all the parameters needed for creating PDF files.
  • [HTML5 on macOS] Added a new file libDynamicImg.dylib to the macOS edition which provides functionalities equal to those provided by the file DynamicImage.dll on Windows. Essentially, this file offers better image encoding and decoding.
  • [HTML5] Added a pair of methods IndexToImageID() and ImageIDToIndex() which converts the index of an image to its image id or vice versa. The id of an image is an unique number that can be used to specify the image.
  • [HTML5] Added a new event OnIndexChangeDragDropDone which is triggered when you drag and drop images to resort them in the viewer. The event returns the from and to indices for the operation.

Improved

  • [HTML5] Improved the method AcquireImage() by adding two more options IfGetImageInfo & IfGetExtImageInfo to its parameter optionalDeviceConfig which are true by default and means extra image info will be returned with each transferred image.
  • [HTML5 on Windows] Improved the method SetFileXferInfo() so that you can specify a naming pattern for the transferred images when the transfer mode is Disk File.
  • [HTML5] Improved the performance of Dynamsoft Service by allowing two time-consuming operations to occur concurrently. The affected methods are ConvertToBlob() , ConvertToBase64() , GenerateURLForUploadedData() as well as a few HTTP Upload methods.
  • [HTML5] Improved service connecting efficiency by removing optional ports and use the same ports no matter it’s 64bit service or 32bit. Also, during initialization, JavaScript will attempt to connect to the core scan module directly instead of connecting to the service first.
  • [HTML5] Improved the functions ConvertToBase64(), ConvertToBlob(), GenerateURLForUploadData() , HTTPUpload() , HTTPUploadAllThroughPostAsMultiPageTIFF() , HTTPUploadAllThroughPostAsPDF() , HTTPUploadThroughPost() , HTTPUploadThroughPostAsMultiPagePDF() , HTTPUploadThroughPostAsMultiPageTIFF() , HTTPUploadThroughPostEx() so that the current indices of the images which were operated on in these methods are returned in the callback functions. This is due to the fact that the indices might have changed during these time-consuming operations.

Changed

  • [HTML5 on Windows] 64bit service has been made the default option on 64bit machines.

Fixed

  • [HTML5 on Windows] Fixed a bug where it takes too much time to load a network file in RDS-mode Chrome.

Improved

  • [All Editions] Unified the installation prompt for all editions.

Fixed

  • [HTML5] Fixed a bug where images to print appear shrunken when rotated.
  • [HTML5] Fixed a bug where the method CancelAllUpload() only cancels one job.
  • [HTML5] Fixed a bug where OCR Pro Full license gives out an error message when used on the client-side.

14.2 (10/16/2018)

Improved

  • [All Editions] Simplified the installation process of the SDK by putting multiple installers together. From this version on, you can get the Dynamsoft Service, Dynamic Web TWAIN and its PDF Rasterizer addon installed with one installer.

  • Better support for Chrome 38, such as downloading large files using the HttpDownload() method.

Improved

  • When a user visits the scan page for the first time the new version takes 1~2 seconds to detect whether the client-side browser has Dynamic Web TWAIN installed. With v10.0, it took around 7 seconds before the installation prompt.
  • With the file updated to dynamsoft.webtwain.config.js you can freely move the Resources folder to any directory you like.
  • More detailed log files.

Fixed

In v10.0.1 there is no limit to the size of an Http Request. In v10.0, the WebSocket connection could have failed to be built if the size of Http Header exceeds 1kB, which led to a recurring prompt for installation.
