I made a small change to the network protocol: the reply to the START<br>
command now includes a member that specifies the byte order of the<br>
image data (big or little-endian). This will be important once there<br>
is a backend that supports depths greater than 8 bits/channel.<br>
<p>
At present, (most of) the frontends do not support depths greater than<br>
8 bits/channel, but the reason I'm making this change now is so that<br>
we won't have to change the network protocol or the network servers<br>
once this feature becomes more important. At this point, I updated<br>
the docs and saned.<br>
<p>
The docs at <a href="http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux/sane/">http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux/sane/</a> are up-to-date.<br>
Everything else will follow in the next SANE release.<br>
<p>
As usual, comments welcome.<br>
