In a little over a month, we're pleased to announce the release of another major barKoder Barcode Scanner SDK version, this time 1.2.2. With it comes the introduction of the DPM mode, the Segment Decoding option for scanning of deformed, crumbled or otherwise misshaped 1D barcodes, as well as the Severe Blurred Barcode scanning algorithm for EAN & UPC barcodes.
The release of v. 1.2.2 of the barKoder SDK followed another update to the Barcode Scanner by barKoder application on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
Short release log concerning the new version of both the barKoder SDK and the Barcode Scanner by barKoder app:
- Introducing barKoder Library version 1.2.3.4;
