v5.7.0

New features:

• We translated complete SDK to the following additional languages:: Malay, Dutch, Hungarian, Indonesian, Arabic(UAE), Romanian, Chinese traditional, Chinese simplified, Thai, Hewbrew and Vietnamese.

Improvements to existing features:

• We have improved parsing of MRZ formats deviating from the ISO/IEC 7501 standard:
  • Document discriminator was in place of the document number on driver licenses and IDs from:
    • New York
    • Michigan
    • Canada
  • Different check digit calculation for Mexico (Consular) ID
  • Recognition of the unofficial XCT country code for Northern Cyprus ID
  • Recognition of different country codes and check digit calculation on China Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents
• We added anonymization support for:
  • MRZ on the Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents
• We have made some changes to the MBBlinkIdRecognizer and MBBlinkIdCombinedRecognizer
  • You can now see MBProcessingStatus in the results to inspect potential processing errors, such as when barcode detection fails, a mandatory field is missing, etc.
  • You can now also see a more detailed MBImageAnalysisResult showing you when:
    • Face image is detected
    • MRZ is detected
    • Barcode is detected
  • We added a MBRecognitionModeFilter settings group. You can toggle flags on this object to control the recognition mode of the recognizer:
    • enableMrzId lets you scan MRZ on all identity documents except visas and passports.
    • enableMrzVisa lets you scan MRZ on visa documents.
    • enableMrzPassport lets you scan MRZ on passports.
    • enablePhotoId lets you scan photo IDs. Use it to enable or disable document and face image extraction on unsupported documents.
    • enableFullRecognition lets you scan all data from our supported documents.
    • Your license key still controls which of the above recognition modes are allowed.
  • We have added a MBRecognitionMode result member describing which recognition mode was used to produce the results.
  • We are now retrieving sex and nationality fields from the MRZ in cases where those two fields cannot be found in the document’s VIZ. Previously, we only used to do this for dates, name fields and document numbers.
  • We are now preserving the original string (raw data) of the dates we couldn’t parse.
• We have improved the thresholds for card detection feedback messages ("move closer" and "move farther"). This will improve the UX when scanning in landscape mode as the document can now be closer to the camera.
• We added disableMicroblinkLogging method to MBLogger for easier implementation
  • This also enables disabling Microblink logging in Swift.

Minor API changes:

• We have made some changes to the MBBlinkIdRecognizer and MBBlinkIdCombinedRecognizer:
  • We renamed MBDocumentImageMoireStatus to MBImageAnalysisDetectionStatus.
  • We grouped the conditions member from the results with the MBDriverLicenseDetailedInfo structure.
• We renamed MBRecogitionMode to MBRecognitionDebugMode in MBRecognizerCollection.
• Swift:
  • We renamed all sharedInstance to shared.
  • All enums are now Int.

Bug fixes:

• We added a nullable attribute to the recognizerRunnerViewControllerWithOverlayViewController to fix a force unwrapping issue in Swift that could occur if the camera is broken or not working.
