Improvements

Update of versioning and naming of packages

The versioning and naming of iDRS packages have been updated to follow the standard versioning strategy described at https://semver.org, as well as to use a better description of target platforms and architectures.

Example

Let’s look at an example:

Given the package iDRS_16.0.17+22_Windows-x64.zip

• The product’s major is 16
• The product’s minor is 0
• The product’s patch is 17
• The product’s build (an always incremental number, unique for a given major.minor.patch) is 22
• The package’s target platform is Windows OS, Intel x64 architecture

Differences

Compared to previous versioning and naming of packages, the following differences can be observed:

• The version identifier formerly named build is now called patch

• The version identifier formerly named revision is now called build

• The product’s build will always be part of the package name, whereas previously it was only for LTS releases

• The changelog will mention the build number only when multiple releases are made for a given major.minor.patch (i.e., only for LTS updates).

• The package root folder is now identical to the package name. For instance:

  • Previously: iDRS_16.0.15_Win64.zip was extracted to the iDRS_16_0_15_Win64 folder (dots are replaced by underscores).
  • From now on: iDRS_16.0.17+22_Windows-x64.zip will be extracted into iDRS_16.0.17+22_Windows-x64 folder.

Note

The idrsversion.h file has also been updated similarly.

File format of macOS library idrsasian216

This release marks the completion of the switch to macOS dylib files for the iDRS internal libraries, which began with release 16.0.12.

Update of iOS binaries to .xcframework format

As with iDRS 15.6.8 LTS 481, the iDRS 16 iOS package now contains binaries using the .xcframework structure, instead of .framework previously.

This change was necessary in order to introduce the arm64 simulator architecture, in addition to those already available: arm64 device, and x86_64 simulator.

The SmartCapture sample application has been updated to use this new format, and also to be compatible with Xcode 14.

OCR resources path

Starting with this release, the concept of OCR resources path is changed to a more generic concept of resources path. This allows in the future to include resources that are not related to the OCR feature itself (e.g., the font definition for the document output feature).

Therefore, the way to define the resource path is moved from the CIDRSLicenseOcr class to CIDRSSetup, as a static property similar to the temporary folder path and the internal libraries path.
Because of this change, the CIDRSLicenseOcr class itself has been removed and must be replaced in your code by an instance of CIDRSLicense created with the Module.Ocr argument.

Deprecated or removed resources

Supported version of iOS platform

As a result of the .xcframework change mentioned above, iDRS 16 binaries are now compatible starting from iOS 11, instead of iOS 10.3 previously.
