[0.8.0] - 2018-09-12​

Added

  • A new audio player.
  • Callback on low light detection.

[0.7.2] - 2018-09-11​

Fixed

  • Issues with effect_player_wrap-ios.framework were fixed.

Added

  • Photo mode frame processing (high resolution frame processing).
  • Consistency mode for camera external texture (Android).
  • Ability to get the version of EffectPlayer from the backend.
  • Ability to get the number of rendered frames and pass the number in push_frame.
  • Face recognition finds faces at a large angle (up to 30 degrees).
  • Ability to set the texture parameters through suffixes in their names.
  • The framework version is transferred to Manifest after building, AAR assembling completely automated (Andorid).

Fixed

  • Fixed issue with context loss on Android.

[0.6.1] - 2018-08-29​

Added

  • Consistent external texture for Android.
  • Zeroing face counter on onStop event.

[0.6.0] - 2018-08-21​

Fixed

  • Fixed and significantly improved inconsistency modes (which were given earlier in unversioned release).
  • Images strides from the camera were fixed for Android.
  • Fixed issue with long camera initialization.

Changed

  • Default iOS mode was changed to inconsistency-without-face (was given earlier in unversioned release).
  • Updates in gender recognition (works fast and once in 3 seconds at the moment).

[0.5.2] - 2018-07-31​

Added

  • Possibility to enable inconsistency mode on iOS, it is possible to skip frame processing to render the image.
  • Possibility to receive device orientation in script (it is possible to disable background separation according to orientation).
  • Possibility to create a few recognizer instances (basically for DiffCat, not yet presented in EP API).
  • Possibility to transmit both camera matrix into the script (needed for morphing creation in accordance to distance from camera).
  • Recognizer coverage with performance tests has started.

Fixed

  • Potential crash with keeping color_plane was fixed.
  • Fixed wrong_fb_after_morph.
