Changelog

Web SDK changes

1.7.13 – Apr. 02, 2025

• Added support for upcoming API 6.0.

• Improved accessibility: the hints throughout the customer journey (camera access, processing data, uploading data, requesting results) are now properly and completely voiced by screen readers in assertive mode (changes in hints are announced immediately).

• Created an endpoint for license verification: [GET] /check_license.php.

• Reduced the bundle size.

• Fixed the issue with missing analysis details in the on_complete callback when using result_mode: full.

• Fixed the issue when the camera switch button might have been missed.

• The front camera no longer displays the user's actions as in a mirror image.

• Improved error handling.

• Improved support for low-performance devices.

• Added the closed eyes check to the Scan gesture.

• Major security and telemetry updates.

• Bug fixes.

1.6.15 – Dec. 27, 2024

• Simplified the checks that require user to move their head: turning left or right, tilting, or looking down.

• Decreased the distance threshold for the head-moving actions: turning left or right, tilting, or looking down.

• The application's behavior when the opened dev-tools are detected is now manageable.

• You can now configure method signatures to make them trusted via checksum of the modified function.

• Changed the wording for the head_down gesture: the new wording is “tilt down”.

• For possible regulatory requirements, updated the Web Adapter configuration file with a new parameter: extract_action_shot. If True, for each gesture, the system saves the corresponding image to display it in report, e.g., closed eyes for blinking, instead of random frame for thumbnail.

• Fixed an issue where an arrow incorrectly appeared after capturing head-movement gestures.

• Fixed an issue where the oval disappeared when the "Great!" phrase was displayed.
