Major Milestone: Jetpack Compose Migration

The app has undergone a complete architectural and UI overhaul, moving away from legacy XML-based layouts and Java-heavy logic to a modern, reactive Kotlin-first approach.

Features & UI/UX Overhaul

• Material 3 Implementation: Fully adopted Material Design 3 (M3) standards, providing a modern, clean, and accessible user interface.
• Complete UI Migration: All screens have been rebuilt from the ground up using Jetpack Compose.
• Enhanced Home Experience:
  • Integrated a real-time OCR Accuracy display.
  • Added a Summary Card for quick result overviews.
• OCR History: Introducing a dedicated History screen to manage and revisit previous OCR results.
• Improved Language Management:
  • Redesigned Download Language Screen with search/filtering capabilities.
  • Added Status Badges to distinguish between selected and downloaded languages.
• Image Sharing Support: Users can now share images directly from other apps into the OCR engine.
• Simplefied Settings: Split settings into specialized categories:

Technical Improvements

• Architecture Migration: Moved to MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture for better state management and testability.
• Kotlin Migration: The core application logic has been entirely converted from Java to Kotlin.
• Modern Data Storage:
  • Replaced legacy SharedPreferences with Jetpack DataStore for settings and preferences.
  • Implemented Room for persistent and observable OCR history data.
• Dependency Injection: Integrated Hilt for robust and scalable dependency management.
• Module Reorganization: Recently renamed directory and module names (e.g., separating the legacy code into oldApp) to improve project structure and build times.
• Performance Optimization: Optimized the background processing logic, moving heavy OCR operations from the UI layer to specialized ViewModels and Coroutines.

Bug Fixes & Stability

• Connectivity Improvements.
• Fixed issues selecting multiple languages data.
• Code Cleanup: Stripped out a significant amount of legacy boilerplate and unused resources.

• Following support has been ended

• Legacy support for SDK 21 and 22 has been ended due to Jetpack Compose.
• Language Data type selection has been limited to only 'BEST'.
