A pre-release is now available for testing at:<br>
<p>
<a href="ftp://ftp.mostang.com/pub/sane/beta/">ftp://ftp.mostang.com/pub/sane/beta/</a><br>
<p>
There are two files there:<br>
<p>
-rw-r--r-- 1 davidm davidm 182335 Oct 31 02:35 sane-0.74-pre0.75.diff.gz<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 davidm davidm 833268 Oct 31 02:34 sane-pre0.75.tar.gz<br>
<p>
The first is a diff relative to v0.74 and the second is a full tar<br>
ball.<br>
<p>
NOTE: I would highly recommend to test this pre-release if you're the<br>
owner of an HP or Mustek scanner. The reason for this is that in both<br>
cases the backends were replaced by a newer and better version. While<br>
every attempt has been made to preserve backwards compatibility, there<br>
is always the chance that something broke so you may want to test<br>
things now. Be sure to preserve your existing installation so that if<br>
there is a problem, you aren't stuck with a non-functional version<br>
(the "--prefix" configuration option may come in handy here).<br>
<p>
If you're a backend maintainer, please take a look at what's there<br>
now. In particular, let me know if you'd like to see anything added<br>
to the NEWS file or if I missed a patch.<br>
<p>
Happy hacking,<br>
<p>
