# v3001.0.0

### Improved card extraction

- Upgraded the card OCR model for more reliable character recognition, including better handling of spaces when card number segments are merged.
- Expiry dates are recognized in additional layouts, including:
  - day-first dates (15/06/2021)
  - year-first dates (2021/06)
  - formats that use an apostrophe (06/'21) or a backslash (06\21)
- Fixed CVV validation for American Express.
  Valid 4-digit Amex security codes are no longer discarded.

### BIN intelligence

- We now list an explicit `binCheckResult` on the card account:
  - Pass: the BIN was found.
  - Fail: the PAN was read, but the BIN was not found.
  - Not available: the BIN check was not run, including when the license does not allow it.

### Privacy: redaction defaults

- Scanning now redacts sensitive card data by default:
  - Card number: redacted in both the image and the result; the first 4 and last 4 digits remain visible.
  - CVV: fully redacted in both the image and the result.
  - IBAN: not redacted.
  - Cardholder name: not redacted.
