1. Overview
This internal release introduced foundational camera improvements and new configuration options for customizing the preview display.
While the ultrawide camera support was primarily a backend enhancement, the addition of PreviewMode scaling represents a visible and developer-facing API extension.
2. New Features
2.1. PreviewMode Scaling
-
Description:
Added the ability to control how the camera preview is displayed — either Fit or Fill within the available view area. -
Behavior:
-
Fitscales the preview to ensure the full frame is visible (may letterbox on some aspect ratios). -
Fillscales to fill the entire view (may crop edges slightly).
-
-
Default:
Existing integrations that omit this parameter continue using the default scaling behavior (equivalent to.fill).
2.2. Ultrawide Camera Support
-
Description:
Internal enhancement to allow selection of ultrawide cameras when supported by the configuration. -
Developer Impact:
No public API changes required. This activates automatically if yourAnalyserConfigurationspecifies ultrawide use.
