Features

• Added support for QR Code Model 1 (an older version of the QR Code specification). It can be enabled by setting FormatSpecification.EnableQRCodeModel1 in the JSON template file.
• Added a new localization mode LM_CENTRE to localize barcodes from the centre, which can improve the localization speed if the barcode is in the centre of the image. It can be enabled by setting the struct PublicRuntimeSettings -> LocalizationModes -> LM_CENTRE.
• Added a new binarization mode BM_THRESHOLD to...

Released: Apr 16, 2020

Updates in 7.4

Features

• Added new barcode format support for DotCode.
