Easyocr

- 7 February 2021 - Version 1.2.4
- Faster CPU inference speed by using dynamic input shape (recognition rate increases by around 100% for images with a lot of text)

- 1 February 2021 - Version 1.2.3
- Add `setLanguageList` method to `Reader` class. This is a convenient api for changing languages (within the same model) after creating class instance.
- Small change on text box merging. (thanks [z-pc](https://github.com/z-pc), see [PR](https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR/pull/338))
- [Basic Demo on website](https://www.jaided.ai/easyocr)

- 5 January 2021 - Version 1.2.2
- Add `optimal_num_chars` to `detect` method. If specified, bounding boxes with estimated number of characters near this value are returned first. (thanks [adamfrees](https://github.com/adamfrees))
- Add `rotation_info` to `readtext` method. Allow EasyOCR to rotate each text box and return the one with the best confident score. Eligible values are 90, 180 and 270. For example, try [90, 180 ,270] for all possible text orientations. (thanks [mijoo308](https://github.com/mijoo308))
- Update [documentation](https://www.jaided.ai/easyocr/documentation).

New language supports for Telugu and Kannada. These are experimental lite recognition models. Their file sizes are only around 7% of other models and they are ~6x faster at inference with CPU.

This release is also a preparation for user-created models/architectures in the future.

- 12 October 2020 - Version 1.1.10
- Faster `beamsearch` decoder (thanks amitbcp)
- Better code structure (thanks susmith98)
- New language supports for Haryanvi(bgc), Sanskrit(sa) (Devanagari Script) and Manipuri(mni) (Bengari Script)
- 31 August 2020 - Version 1.1.9
- Add `detect` and `recognize` method for performing text detection and recognition separately

- 23 August 2020 - Version 1.1.8
- 20 new language supports for Bengali, Assamese, Abaza, Adyghe, Kabardian, Avar,
Dargwa, Ingush, Chechen, Lak, Lezgian, Tabassaran, Bihari, Maithili, Angika,
Bhojpuri, Magahi, Nagpuri, Newari, Goan Konkani
- Support RGBA input format
- Add `min_size` argument for `readtext`: for filtering out small text box
