--- Source: https://docs.microblink.com/blinkcard/release-notes Title: Release notes Description: Version history and release notes for BlinkCard SDKs --- # Release notes ## v3000.0.0 ### New fraud detection: BIN intelligence BIN intelligence enhances payment risk assessment at the moment of card capture. Real-time BIN lookup validates the PAN and returns detailed card information, including type, brand, category, issuing bank, and issuer country. This additional fraud signal helps customers identify high-risk transactions early, before the transaction begins. ### Architectural shift: session-based API The legacy `Recognizer` architecture is deprecated. BlinkCard v3000 moves to a session-based model, decoupling scanning logic from the UI lifecycle and enabling a headless integration for custom implementations. ### Epoch versioning scheme We are moving to an Epoch-based versioning system: `(EPOCH * 1000 + MAJOR).MINOR.PATCH`. This new versioning makes it easier for customers to immediately identify the impact of an update and plan upgrades with confidence. - **EPOCH**: Fundamental architectural rewrites. - **MAJOR**: Breaking API changes. - **MINOR**: New features, backward-compatible. - **PATCH**: Bug fixes. ### Other improvements - **i18n**: Expanded localization support to better serve a global user base: we added 33 new languages, bringing the total supported languages to 56. - **a11y**: Enhanced accessibility capabilities, including support for screen readers. - Granular event tracking throughout the SDK lifecycle, enabling deeper insights into success rates and drop-off points during scanning sessions. - Improved photocopy detection model, reducing FAR@FRR of 1% from 27.53% to 13.69%. - 33 new supported languages: - Akan (Twi, Fante) - Amharic - Bengali - Brazilian Portuguese - Canadian French - Danish - English (U.K.) - Farsi - Finnish - Georgian - Greek - Hausa - Hindi - Icelandic - Japanese - Kazakh - Khmer - Korean - Latvian - Mexican Spanish - Nepali - Norwegian - Pashto - Polish - Russian - Sinhala - Swahili - Swedish - Turkish - Ukrainian - Urdu - Uzbek - Yoruba ### Migration notes - **License keys**: Existing v2.x keys are compatible with v3000.
