OK, sane-0.72 is finally available. You can get it from:

ftp://ftp.mostang.com/pub/sane/sane-0.72.tar.gz

The most important changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------
New with 0.72:

* New backend for Artec scanners.
This backend is known to work with Artec AT3, but others may work
too (A6000C should work).

* Updated DMC and Microtek backend.

* Updated UMAX backend:
** added exposure time adjustment (for high-end scanners)
** added lamp density control (for high-end scanners)
** UMAX Astra 6X0S works in color-mode now, you have to enable
preview_patch!
** added support for UMAX UC1200S and UC1260, but it will not work fine!
** enabled x-resolution greater than 600 dpi if supported by scanner
(e.g. UMAX S12) but it sometimes still does not work right!

* Updated SnapScan backend:

There is now support for the SnapScan 310 and 600 scanner models.

* OS/2 and FreeBSD support should be working again.

* New backend writer's guide to SANE
File backend/GUIDE outlines a few rules that should help in writing
a new backend.
------------------------------------------------------------------

As usual, please drop me a note if you build SANE on a platform other
than Linux.

Cheers,
