 ### Camera
 
-Camera video preview resolution also matters. In order to perform successful scans, camera preview resolution must be at least 480p. Note that camera preview resolution is not the same as video recording resolution. For example, [Sony Xperia Go](http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_go-4782.php) supports 720p video recording but preview resolution is only 320p - _BlinkID_ won't work on that device.

 _BlinkID_ is distributed with **ARMv7**, **ARM64**, **x86** and **x86_64** native library binaries.
 
-**ARMv7** architecture gives the ability to take advantage of hardware accelerated floating point operations and SIMD processing with [NEON](http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/neon.php). This gives _BlinkID_ a huge performance boost on devices that have ARMv7 processors. Most new devices (all since 2012.) have ARMv7 processor so it makes little sense not to take advantage of performance boosts that those processors can give. Also note that some devices with ARMv7 processors do not support NEON instruction sets, most popular being those based on [NVIDIA Tegra 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_2). Since these devices are old by today's standard, _BlinkID_ does not support them. For the same reason, _BlinkID_ does not support devices with ARMv5 (`armeabi`) architecture.

 **ARM64** is the new processor architecture that most new devices use. ARM64 processors are very powerful and also have the possibility to take advantage of new NEON64 SIMD instruction set to quickly process multiple pixels with a single instruction.

+### Changes to BlinkID(Combined) Recognizer
+- We’ve renamed the Swaziland country to Eswatini in results and ClassInfo
+- Improved result validation
+    - `FieldIdentificationFailed` processing status is used to indicate if unexpected fields are present on the document. Those fields are then deleted from the result
+- We are filling out COUNTRY and REGION fields in ClassInfo, without the field TYPE of document, when using BarcodeID mode for scanning documents where the Front side is not supported, and back side results are extracted from AAMVA compliant barcodes
+    - This applies only if `ClassInfo` isn’t already prepopulated in some other way and when you’re not in `FullRecognition` mode
+
+### Improvements
+- We can now extract the date of birth from the document number on the South Korean identity card and from the personal identification number on the driving licence
+
+### Anonymization
+- We’ve added anonymization support for new documents:
+    - Document number on Germany paper bio-data page Passport
+    - Document number on South Korea Identity Card
+    - Personal identification number on South Korea driving licence
+    - Personal identification number on South Korea paper bio-data page Passport
+
+### Fixes
+We’ve fixed camera issues for the following devices: 
+	- Motorola Moto G100 - Camera 2 API wasn’t working
+	- Realme X50 5G - Problem with Camera 2 API in legacy mode
+	- LG K4 - Camera 2 API wasn’t working
+	- Galaxy Tab Active 2 - Aspect ratio was broken
