+## [2.0.0]

+### 2025-08-22
+
+**BREAKING CHANGE:** The signature of `handleActivityResult` has changed - the onSuccess now returns `OSBARCScanResult` instead of just a string with the scanned code.
+
+- Add **hint** parameter to scan for specific barcode formats
+- Return the format of the scanned code inside the scan result.
