OK, sane-0.61 is finally available. The following files are available
at ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sane/:

47787 Jul 10 09:31 sane-0.6-0.61.diff.gz
1037 Jul 10 09:34 sane-0.61.lsm
342471 Jul 10 09:37 sane-0.61.tar.gz

The files should also show up shortly in the Incoming directory at
sunsite.unc.edu. I was unable to upload them the tsx-11 since the
disk seems to be full.

The relevant section from the NEWS file is appended to this mail.

The SANE home page now has a fairly large and detailed table on what's
supported on what platform. The table is at:

http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux/sane/support.html

If you have any new info or corrections, please let me know.

Note that, thanks to NOGAYA Shigeki, the HP backend now uses the
pixel-unit commands by default. This means that the backend should
now work with the ScanJet 5P. I would like to ask everybody with a
ScanJet scanner to give sane-0.61 a try and let me know how it works.
In case of trouble, you can get back the old code by commenting out
the line:

#define PREFER_DEVICE_PIXEL

in backend/hp.c.

Enjoy,

* HP backend now uses pixel-unit commands to accommodate ScanJet 5P.

* Platform-specific SCSI setup info is now in sanei-scsi(5).

* xscanimage(1) now has a section on how to run it under GIMP.

* B&W qcam support should now work (reports on how well it works are welcome).

* Exiting xscanimage with preview window open should no longer cause an error.

* Support for OpenStep/NeXTStep added (xscanimage and xcam require an X server and the GTK+ libraries, though). User-level SCSI is supported.

* SCSI support for NetBSD and FreeBSD should work now. Thanks to NOGAYA Shigeki <nogaya@mbox.kyoto-inet.or.jp> and Amancio Hasty <hasty@rah.star-gate.com> for relevant patches.

* New man-page sane-scsi(5) with platform-specific SCSI tips and tricks.

* SANE now builds on HP-UX (SCSI support untested) and IRIX (no SCSI support), too.
