Other

  • Added functionality to set defaults for processing via JSON string in the PROCESS_PARAM_DEFAULTS environment variable, or via JSON file in PROCESS_PARAM_DEFAULTS_FILE_PATH. If any of these set their contents will be automatically added/merged to processParam object of the images processing request. Using this functionality processing behavior may be changed without making changes to the integration.

  • Restored backward compatibility for TCC Terminal Authentication parameter names.

Mobile API

  • iOS

    • Added RGLCustomUIViewBuilder and RGLCustomUIObjectsBuilder classes for building custom UI view via JSON. RGLCustomization takes a new customUILayerJSON property, by setting it, custom content view appears in RGLDocumentReaderCameraViewController.
    • Added a RGLDocReaderActionProcessTimeout case for the RGLDocReaderAction enum. This completion is called when processing is finished by timeout.
    • Added the -[recognizeImagesWithImageInputs:completion] method to the DocReader instance. Receives an array of RGLImageInput instances as input parameter and may process multiple images with different light types.
    • Added the RGLImageInput class that holds image, lightType, pageIndex.
    • Added the RGLDatabaseBackgroundLoader class for downloading and updating database files in the background. Also, the loader supports resuming download after connection was broken or restarting the client application.
    • Added the -[stopRFIDReaderWithErrorMessage:completion:] method to the DocReader instance. Works as -[stopRFIDReader:completion:] with additional param errorMessage for displaying the error message after stopping of RFID reading. When nil specified for this parameter, there will be no error message displayed.
    • Added RGLDiDocTypeInvoice and RGLDiDocTypePassengerLocatorForm cases for RGLDiDocType enum.
    • The value of the RGLDiDocTypeRegistrationCertificate case in the RGLDiDocType enum has been changed from 31 to 206.
    • resultStatus in RGLDocumentReaderCameraViewController now is always visible in label if the user sets custom text.
    • Fixed stopping of the recording after the explicit call of stopScanner.

  • Android

    • Added the setUICustomizationLayer method in the ParamsCustomization class. This method sets JSON with custom labels and images.
    • Added the DocReaderAction.TIMEOUT case for the DocReaderAction enum. This completion is called when processing is finished by timeout.
    • Added a new ImageInputData class to recognize images with different lightType and method: recognizeImages(@NonNull ImageInputData[] imageInputData, @NonNull IDocumentReaderCompletion completion).
    • Added the setRfidTimeout method in the Functionality class. This method sets the timeout for the RFID reading session.
    • Updated the diDocType enum with new fields: dtInvoice, dtPassengerLocatorForm.

Web Service API

DOCREADER_CERT_FILE / DOCREADER_KEY_FILE defaults were changed to /app/certs/tls.crt; /app/certs/tls.key respectively.
    • DOCREADER_LOGS_ACCESS_CONSOLE default changed to "true".
    • New env variable DOCREADER_PROCESS_RESULTS_LOG_FILE (bool). Controls whether to save the document process requests and results to a file. If enabled, defaults to logs/process.

    • New env variable RFID_PKD_PA (bool). Controls whether to enable RFID PA feature. If enabled, the default folder for master lists is /app/rfid_pkd.
    • RFID_PKD_PA_PATH default folder for master lists is /app/rfid_pkd.
  • [docker] The environment variables DOCREADER_BIND, DOCREADER_WORKERS, and DOCREADER_LOGS_APP_CONSOLE were removed from the container image, i.e. reverted to defaults.
