microblink/blinkcard-android v2.9.1

on GitHub

Minor API changes

• split up Image class to Image and InputImage
  • InputImage is to be used as an input to the recognizers. Image will be the result of recognizer processing
  • InputImage retains ROI functionality, but is now not serializable
  • InputImage handles YUV planes more efficiently
  • Image is now always BGRA and is serializable

Bug fixes

• removed UI thread blocking while waiting for recognition to complete
  • this fixes the ANR that can occur when the app gets resumed from the background on slow network connections when using online license keys
• fix documentation-generated links to Javadoc
• fixed crash that occurred when HDR image was provided as Bitmap to the Direct API
  • if provided Bitmap is not in ARGB_8888 config, it will be automatically converted into ARGB_8888 config
  • only if the conversion is not possible, then the exception will be thrown

Other changes

• native code is now built using NDK r26c and uses dynamic c++ runtime (libc++_shared.so)
  • in case when multiple different dependencies use the same runtime in the same app, the latest available version of the library should be packaged into the app
• added support for license keys that support multiple application IDs
• added android.permission.INTERNET permission to the manifest of LibBlinkCard
  • this permission is needed in order to correctly perform license key validation for licenses that require that
