Breaking changes

• We've changed the way how recognizer options are set up when using the UI component
  • You can now specify how a recognizer should behave by using the new recognizerOptions property.
  • To see the full list of available recognizer options, as well as examples on how to use them, check out the relevant source code.

Performance improvements

• We've added three different flavors of WebAssembly builds to the SDK, to provide better performance across all browsers
  • Unless defined otherwise, the SDK will load the best possible bundle during initialization:
    • Basic Same as the existing WebAssembly build, most compatible, but least performant.
    • Advanced WebAssembly build that provides better performance but requires a browser with advanced features.
    • AdvancedWithThreads Most performant WebAssembly build which requires a proper setup of COOP and COEP headers on the server-side.
  • For more information about different WebAssembly builds and how to use them properly, check out the relevant section in our official documentation

• We've improved camera management on devices with multiple cameras
  • Method createVideoRecognizerFromCameraStream has been extended in VideoRecognizer class.
  • Attribute [camera-id] has been added to the UI component so that your users can preselect their desired camera.
