# 7.0.0

BlinkID v7 is a major upgrade designed to simplify integration and deliver a more reliable ID scanning experience.
It introduces a streamlined, session-based API, replacing the previous recognizer-based architecture.

### Highlights

- **Lighter SDK**: Dynamic model loading reduces download size and memory usage significantly
- **Unified session-based API**: Replaces multiple recognizer types (SingleSide, MultiSide) with a single session model
- **Backward compatibility**: Existing production license keys continue to work with v7.0
- **Updated minimum requirements**: iOS 15.0 (iOS SDK) / iOS 16.0 (iOS UX SDK); Android API level 24 and above

### Architecture changes

- Session-based approach replaces the Recognizer-based architecture
- Modular SDK structure: core scanning logic, prebuilt UI components, and camera management are now separate packages
- Simplified initialization and result handling via async session callbacks
- Enhanced UI customization through theming APIs

### Renamed settings

- `blurStrictnessLevel` → `blurDetectionLevel`
- `enableBlurFilter` → `skipFramesWithBlur`
- `glareStrictnessLevel` → `glareDetectionLevel`
- `enableGlareFilter` → `skipFramesWithGlare`
- `combineFrameResults` → `enableMultiFrameExtraction`
- `cardRotation` → `documentRotation`
