I'we made a new unstable development snapshot available from
<URL:http://www.student.uit.no/~pere/linux/>. I even generated a
backend list available from
<URL:http://www.student.uit.no/~pere/linux/sane/sane-devel-20000221-backends.html>.
Quite a few changes made their way in before the code freeze.
The code freeze will last until 2000-03-05, and only documentation
updates and fixes for grave bug should be commited to CVS. I'm not
sure how we should classify the grave bugs, but here are a few
suggestions:
- Compile errors on any supported platform.
- Any bug making backends completely unusable.
All patches to the code to be commited before release 1.0.2 must be
posted on the list with a description why it is required. Before it
is accepted, it needs to be checked and approved on the list by one of
the other backend maintainers. Make a note in the changelog with who
approved the change.
Updates to documentation do not need such approval.
I tested the distribution on HP/UX 10.20 and Irix 6.5, and after a
small patch for Irix, it compiles on both. I did noticed a serious
problem on Irix: The libraries are named "*.so.2.1" (and "*.so.2"),
while the dll backend are looking for "*.so.1". I have no idea what
is going on, but think we should fix it before release time.
Here are last weeks changelog:
2000-02-20 Karl Heinz Kremer <khk@khk.net
* backend/epson.c: Added some OS/2 compatibility fixes.
2000-02-20 Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@td.org.uit.no>
* configure: Regenerated based on current configure.in.
* include/sane/sanei_backend.h: Typedef u_int{8,16,32}_t.
Defining them gave bogus code in <sys/types.h> on Irix 6.5.
* backend/lhii.desc backend/musteka4s2.desc backend/nec.desc
backend/plustek.desc backend/sagitta.desc backend/st400.desc
backend/v4l.desc backend/v4l2.desc: Added info on existing
backends. Placed version number in () to indicate that these
backend are distributed separately.
* backend/sharp.desc backend/pint.desc backend/canon.desc
backend/s9036.desc: Fixed typo and updated with more information.
* AUTHORS: Marked active maintainers with '(*)'.
* sanei/sanei_pio.c: Removed some warnings.
* configure.in: New flag --enable-warnings to turn on or off more
GCC warnings. Default should be 'on' for development snapshots,
and 'off' for releases.
2000-02-19 Karl Heinz Kremer <khk@khk.net>
* backend/epson.*: Updated desc file with new version number and
some more supported scanners.
Removed OPT_PREVIEW_RESOLUTION so that the frontend can handle
the preview resolution.
Changed the OPT_RESOLUTION data from a range to a word list, so
that the frontends can display the correct list of available
resolutions.
2000-02-19 Chris Pinkham <cpinkham@infi.net>
* backend/artec.c: Updated backend version to v0.5.13. Corrected
matrix of which features/enhancements should be active for each
scan mode. Fixed bug which causing Contrast to be INactive at
startup instead of Threshold.
* backend/artec.desc: updated backend version information.
2000-02-19 Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@td.org.uit.no>
* sanei/sanei_thread.c include/sane/sanei_thread.h: These files
declares a _proposed_ internal SANE interface. It was proposed by
Yuri Dario to wrap UNIX functions fork(), kill(), waitpid() and
wait(), which are missing or not working on OS/2.
* frontend/saned.c: OS/2 send socket on param list. Patch from
Yuri Dario.
* sanei/os2_srb.h sanei/sanei_scsi.c: Include OS/2 SCSI header file.
* include/sane/sanei_config.h sanei/sanei_config.c: New function
sanei_config_read(). Use this instead of fgets() when reading
config files to remove line ending chars on all known platforms.
Patch from Yuri Dario.
* configure.os2: Updated configure param list from Yuri Dario.
2000-02-19 Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>

* corrected spelling error in umax,c (devive -> device)
2000-02-18 Abel Deuring <a.deuring@satzbau-gmbh.de>

2000-02-18 Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>
* updated umax backend to 1.0 build 17
(added support for sanei_scsi_open_extended)
for details take a look at backend/umax.CHANGES
2000-02-15 Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@td.org.uit.no>
