I'd be curious how you secure CVS to provide anonymous access. I'd like to
do so for WinSANE and other side projects of mine.

> 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
