Document Reader SDK 9.6 — June 29, 2026

IMPORTANT changes

CocoaPods announced that they will become read-only in December 2026. After that, new pod versions can no longer be published there. For this reason, starting with this release, we are publishing all versions to our own GitHub repository https://github.com/regulaforensics/podspecs. Existing versions will remain available indefinitely in the CocoaPods registry, and apps using them will continue to function.

To continue receiving the latest features, performance improvements, and critical fixes, you will need to choose one of the following options:
a) migrate to our local repository, or
b) switch to Swift Package Manager, or
c) install manually.
