Hopefully, not too many bugs crept in this time (knock on wood...).
Thanks to Ingo Wilken of the Computer Science department of the
University of Oldenburg, there is now an ftp mirror in Germany. To
reach it, simply go to ftp.de.mostang.com (instead of
ftp.mostang.com). Note that it may take a day or so until the mirror
is in sync with ftp.mostang.com. If others want to setup a similar
mirror for other countries, just send me the domain name. For this to
work reasonably, it should be possible to find SANE in directory
/pub/sane/ and the mirror should be updated at least once a day.
A list of the most important changes since SANE v1.00 is appended
below. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
Enjoy,

-*-Mode: outline-*-
New with 1.01:
* Miscellaneous
o configure --disable-shared works again
o scanimage -T testing option added (by Nick Lamb)
o in dll.conf, the pnm, dc25, and dc210 backends are now disabled
(commented out) by default. The net backend is now enabled by
default. The pnm backend has been disabled as it often proved
confusing to novice users. The dc25 and dc210 backends were
disabled because they initialize very slowly if no camera is
attached.
o Downgraded PNM backend to the version shipped with SANE 0.74.
The scan area options as implemented in SANE 1.00 were
incorrectly implemented which made the backend unreliable.
* New tool to turn off Mustek 600 II N scanner (by Andreas Czechanowski)
o the new binary tools/mustk600iin-off allows to turn off a
Mustek 600 II N scanner (note: you'll need to install this tool
manually if you want it)
* New backend for Sharp scanners (by FUKUDA Kazuya & Abel Deuring)
o supports the Sharp JX-610, JX-250, and JX-330 SCSI scanner
o preview/lineart/haftone/threshold are untested
* Updated Kodak DC25 backend (by Peter Fales).
* Updated HP backend (by Peter Kirchgessner)
o New features:
- Option 'unload after scan' for PhotoScanner
- Manual page sane-hp updated
- hp.desc updated
o Bugfixes:
- Adjustable scan size for scan from ADF
- No blanks in command line options
- Segmentation fault for starting scanimage -d hp:/dev/sg0
without /dev/sgo in hp.conf
Scanning from the ADF therefore should work now.
* Updated Microtek backend (by Matto Marjanovic)
o Fixed off-by-1 error in revision-number parsing.
o dump_inquiry() now prints the "Vendor Specific String".
o Added model code/vendor name for the other 600ZS.
o Made get_scan_status() retry delay increase with each try (will
this help the poor 600ZS?).
o Corrected base resolution for Agfa StudioScan II/IIsi (400dpi).
o Disabled backend's clever aspect-ratio correction code for
expanded-mode scans with StudioScan II/IIsi (scanner handles it
internally - smart scanner.)
o Fixed gamma LUT code parsing stupidity: now correctly
determines maximum allowed LUT size, and uses it. (Especially
necessary for StudioScan II/IIsi.)
o The E6 claims to only support 256-byte LUT's, but the backend
now ignores that misinformation (and uses 1024).
o Now ignores denial of expanded-mode by older E6's (model code
0x63), in addition to newer E6's.
* Updated Microtek2 backend (by Bernd Schroeder)
o Added support for non-blocking I/O.
o Preliminary support for a strip and a slide mode.
o For people, who are annoyed, if the the scanhead moves back and fourth
during a scan (backtracking): There is a new option 'disable
backtracking'. At present this option must be activated by
uncommenting the respective entry in the included microtek2.conf
file. This is an advanced option.
o The X6EL should no longer produce pixel junk after one successful scan.
* Updated Mustek backend (by Andreas Bolsch)
o larger buffer acquired (speeds up scanning slightly)
o for SE models minimal resolution increased from 60 dpi to 75 dpi
o for SE models 75 dpi in color mode is no longer used as the newer
firware version seems to be even more buggy
o bug in calculation of gamma table corrected (applies only to SE models,
NOT related to the overflow problem which was corrected via CLIP( ) )
o default resolution is now set according to the minimal resolution
(firmware dependent)
o for SE models all unsupported options (speed, ... ) explicitly disabled
* Updated Nikon Coolscan backend (by Didier Carlier)
o Reverse the pixel order for the LS-1000.
* Updated snapscan backend to v0.6 (by Kevin Charter and Petter Reinholdtsen)
o Fixes the versioning problem.
o Add support for SnapScan 1236s (should also work for SnapScan 600).
* Updated UMAX backend (by Oliver Rauch)
o Added support for Linotype Hell Saphir 2
o Changed bug in gray gamma data conversion
o Added support for Nikon AX-210
o Added "Vista S-6E" as supported
o Added PowerLook-II (PL-II) as supported
o Added Astra 600S as supported
