It is time to declare feature freeze. This will last for ~two weeks
to give us some time to update the documentation and get rid of the
last few bugs. I hope I did not forget any patches or waiting
backends. If I did, please let me know.
The current news file needs to be updated. It currently reads:
New with 1.0.3, released XXXX-XX-XX:
* New backends: mustek_pp, plustek, st400, v4l.
* Updated backends: Coolscan (v0.4.3), Epson (v0.1.29), HP (v0.88),
Mustek (v1.0-89), Sharp (v0.31), UMAX (v1.0-21).
* Removed backend info sagitta.desc due to lack of interest.
* Installing no longer depends on 'rev'.
* Added and structured documentation.
* Almost every backend have a man page now.
* Debug messages are now sent to syslog if stderr is a socket.
* New 16 bit support to scanimage.
* Bugfixes.
A new snapshot will be available later today from
<URL:http://www.student.uit.no/~pere/linux/>.
The complete ChangeLog since last release is given here:

:interface entries
* backend/sagitta.desc: Removed on behalf of the author. Nobody
has showed interest in this very old (and rare) scanner over

backend/Makefile.in sanei/Makefile.in: Added interface for
Mustek parallel port scanners (from Jochen Eisinger
<jochen.eisinger@gmx.net>). This will be used by the Mustek
parallel port backend mustek_pp (coming soon).
* tools/sane-desc.el backend/template.desc.: Added support for
"interface" column in sane-desc.el. The new keyword is

only active when halftoning is off and scan depth is 1. Make
film type only active when TPU is selected. Scanner based
color correction. More constraints for GUI. Cleanup in option
handling.
2000-05-21 Henning Meier-Geinitz <hmg@gmx.de>

2000-04-27 Karl Heinz Kremer <khk@khk.net>

temporarily) support for SCSI queue. Fixed shrinked image bug with
the ScanExpress 12000SP. Fixed positional options detection
(from mustek.conf). Added option "buffersize". Adjusted
mustek.conf template to more reasonable defaults. Lots of
small fixes and more complete debugging output. Look at
backend/mustek.CHANGES for more details.

probably only affected 3-pass scanners.

backend/mustek.CHANGES for details.
2000-03-27 Karl Heinz Kremer <khk@khk.net>
* backend/epson.c backend/epson.desc: Removed
status request for push button. This caused an
error on older scanners. Fixed a few typos in
the .desc file and added GT-9000 scanner.
2000-03-23 Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>
* updated umax backend to version 1.0 build 19
