Core RFID SDK
Added support for obtaining a master list for Passive Authentication from TCC (as per BSI TR-03129) by setting the tccParams.serviceUrlPA parameter.
Added support for working with TCC on mobile OS (Android & iOS).
Added the possibility to pass certificates not only by URL, but explicitly in the RFID_Command_Set_TCC_Params parameters in tccParams.pfxCert.
Updated the parameter name for setting the TCC Terminal Authentication URL to tccParams. serviceUrlTA.
Fixed the issue with calculating SharedSecret for DH-scheme in PACE that led to failing PACE in some cases.
Desktop web service
Linux:
Fixed the issue with the RFIDManualDetection property not working.
Fixed the issue with Passive Authentication status calculation when some of the notifications were ignored.
Hardware support
Added parametrization support for 3M/Gemalto/Thales readers via the JSON settings file. Details on request.
Added the capability to determine how a device is powered (external/USB) for 3M/Gemalto/Thales readers and return this in the DeviceFeatures property.
Fixed the issue with the camera view area when applying calibration parameters for some Regula readers.
Mobile API
Changed the default hologram guidance animation. The animation shows different images for ID and Passport documents and is selected automatically based on the scanned document type.
Fixed getting DocumentReaderGraphicField based on eRPRM_ResultType for the Manual Crop functionality when a user turned on returnUncroppedImage in process params.
iOS
Added the -[setTCCParams:completion:] method to the DocReader instance. The method call sets the given TCCParams to the RFID session. These parameters are required to be set before starting an RFID session.
Added the TCCParams configuration model. It contains TCC service-related parameters for the RFID session configuration.
Added customization for hologram guidance animation. You can set your custom UIImage to animate instead of the default one with the hologramAnimationImage property. This property can be set during the scanning process to tailor the user experience for different types of documents.
Added customization for hologram guidance animation to control vertical position with the hologramAnimationPositionMultiplier property.
Added customization for hologram guidance animation to control c_ontentMode_ for the image with the hologramAnimationImageContentMode property.
Added the RGLImageQualityCheckTypeHandwritten case for the RGLImageQualityCheckType enumeration.
Added the expectedPass property of the type NSArray for the RGLImageQA object. This option controls the quality checks that the image should pass to be considered a valid input during the scanning process.
Added NS_SWIFT_NAME for RGLImageQA. Now the Swift compiler will suggest renaming RGLImageQA to ImageQA.
Changed RGLImageQualityCheckType to be NS_TYPED_ENUM instead of NS_ENUM. This allows the usage of NSArray of RGLImageQualityCheckType instead of NSNumber wrapped around enumeration values. If you ever compared two values of RGLImageQualityCheckType with the == operator, please make sure to update your code to use the -[isEqualTo:] method instead.
Changed the prefix from RGLE to RGL for the RGLImageQualityCheckType cases. For example, RGLEImageQualityCheckTypeImageGlares became RGLImageQualityCheckTypeImageGlares. The same rule applies to all cases from the RGLImageQualityCheckType enumeration. This change makes the usage of the enumeration values in Swift more natural. For example, RGLEImageQualityCheckTypeImageGlares turns into ImageQualityCheckType.imageGlares.
Fixed completion with Error where instead of NSError the compilation call could have NSString.
Fixed the layout issue with the customization.resultStatus label going outside of the screen bounds if the text is too long.
Fixed multiple crop results when a crop button was pressed multiple times on a photo edit screen.
Android

Added the TCCParams model. It contains TCC service-related parameters for the RFID session configuration.
Added customization for the hologram guidance animation. You can set your custom Drawable to animate instead of the default one with the hologramAnimationImage property. This property can be set during the scanning process to tailor the user experience for different types of documents.
Added customization for the hologram guidance animation to control vertical position with the сustomHologramPositionMultiplier property.
Added customization for the hologram guidance animation to control ImageView.ScaleType for the image with the hologramAnimationImageScaleType property and Matrix for the image with the hologramAnimationImageMatrix property.
