  Target

  Now targets 29

  October 22, 2019

  ⚡️ We highly recommend updating from 1.0.4 to 1.0.5, since this update fixes a a couple of significant issues.

  🛠 Coroutine Fixes

  #23
  👷 Made some fixes to the way we use coroutines. Cancelled the current job rather than scope so that we can launch new coroutines from the same scope. Changed our Firebase call to be a suspend call.

  Surface Invalid

  #22
  ➕ Added a check after opening the camera to ensure that the surfaces are still valid.

• v1.0.4 Changes

  October 15, 2019

  Lag Fix [#19]

  📇 There were some dropped frames in some cases. This was caused by FirebaseVisionImage.fromMediaImage(image, frameMetadata.rotation) taking too long. To solve we introduced coroutines to the project and made this run on a background thread.

• v1.0.3 Changes

  May 10, 2019

  IntArray

  🚀 We have changed the API to now use IntArray instead of Array for barcode formats. We did this because IntArray is more efficient. We have deprecated the previous method, and it will be removed in a future release. We have offered a quick fix replacement if you are using Android Studio. You may wish to consider making changes in your code to utilise IntArray and gain the efficiencies too.

  Just put your cursor on the method and use your shortcut for quick fix

  🛠 start() Fixes

  👀 #13 - See this issue for some more details

  In summary calling start() twice in quick succession caused issues because our Camera2Source was only tracking isStarted() and not "is starting". We have now added this in the form of isOpening(), meaning it should now be safe to call start() twice.

  Miscellaneous

  Dependencies

  • Kotlin: 1.3.21 -> 1.3.31
  • 🏗 Build tools: 3.3.2 -> 3.4.0
  • Firebase Core: 16.0.8 -> 16.0.9
  • Firebase ML: 19.0.3 -> 20.0.0

  Quality

  ⚡️ We updated our quality config files to our latest standards here at Brightec. This caused a few minor changes in order to fix out some newly identified inefficiencies.

• v1.0.2 Changes

  April 01, 2019

  💥 Breaking Changes

  • 👍 Barcode.cornerPoints: Type change from Array to List. This enables collection functionality and is considered better practice.

  Other Changes

  • ⚡️ Updated some Firebase dependencies

• v1.0.1 Changes

  March 21, 2019
