All right, SANE v1.0.1 has finally been released. It can be found<br>
at <a href="ftp://ftp.mostang.com/pub/sane/:">ftp://ftp.mostang.com/pub/sane/:</a><br>
<p>
-rw-r--r-- 1172 Apr 21 20:48 sane-1.0.1.lsm<br>
-rw-r--r-- 996384 Apr 21 20:48 sane-1.0.1.tar.gz<br>
-rw-r--r-- 199893 Apr 21 20:48 sane-1.00-1.0.1.diff.gz<br>
<p>
Hopefully, not too many bugs crept in this time (knock on wood...).<br>
<p>
Thanks to Ingo Wilken of the Computer Science department of the<br>
University of Oldenburg, there is now an ftp mirror in Germany. To<br>
reach it, simply go to ftp.de.mostang.com (instead of<br>
ftp.mostang.com). Note that it may take a day or so until the mirror<br>
is in sync with ftp.mostang.com. If others want to setup a similar<br>
mirror for other countries, just send me the domain name. For this to<br>
work reasonably, it should be possible to find SANE in directory<br>
/pub/sane/ and the mirror should be updated at least once a day.<br>
<p>
A list of the most important changes since SANE v1.00 is appended<br>
below. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!<br>
<p>
Enjoy,<br>

-*-Mode: outline-*-<br>
New with 1.01:<br>
<p>
* Miscellaneous<br>
o configure --disable-shared works again<br>
o scanimage -T testing option added (by Nick Lamb)<br>
o in dll.conf, the pnm, dc25, and dc210 backends are now disabled<br>
(commented out) by default. The net backend is now enabled by<br>
default. The pnm backend has been disabled as it often proved<br>
confusing to novice users. The dc25 and dc210 backends were<br>
disabled because they initialize very slowly if no camera is<br>
attached.<br>
o Downgraded PNM backend to the version shipped with SANE 0.74.<br>
The scan area options as implemented in SANE 1.00 were<br>
incorrectly implemented which made the backend unreliable.<br>
<p>
* New tool to turn off Mustek 600 II N scanner (by Andreas Czechanowski)<br>
o the new binary tools/mustk600iin-off allows to turn off a<br>
Mustek 600 II N scanner (note: you'll need to install this tool<br>
manually if you want it)<br>
<p>
* New backend for Sharp scanners (by FUKUDA Kazuya &amp; Abel Deuring)<br>
o supports the Sharp JX-610, JX-250, and JX-330 SCSI scanner<br>
o preview/lineart/haftone/threshold are untested<br>
<p>
* Updated Kodak DC25 backend (by Peter Fales).<br>
<p>
* Updated HP backend (by Peter Kirchgessner)<br>
o New features:<br>
- Option 'unload after scan' for PhotoScanner<br>
- Manual page sane-hp updated<br>
- hp.desc updated<br>
<p>
o Bugfixes:<br>
- Adjustable scan size for scan from ADF<br>
- No blanks in command line options<br>
- Segmentation fault for starting scanimage -d hp:/dev/sg0<br>
without /dev/sgo in hp.conf<br>
<p>
Scanning from the ADF therefore should work now.<br>
<p>
* Updated Microtek backend (by Matto Marjanovic)<br>
o Fixed off-by-1 error in revision-number parsing. <br>
o dump_inquiry() now prints the "Vendor Specific String". <br>
o Added model code/vendor name for the other 600ZS. <br>
o Made get_scan_status() retry delay increase with each try (will<br>
this help the poor 600ZS?). <br>
o Corrected base resolution for Agfa StudioScan II/IIsi (400dpi). <br>
o Disabled backend's clever aspect-ratio correction code for<br>
expanded-mode scans with StudioScan II/IIsi (scanner handles it<br>
internally - smart scanner.) <br>
o Fixed gamma LUT code parsing stupidity: now correctly<br>
determines maximum allowed LUT size, and uses it. (Especially<br>
necessary for StudioScan II/IIsi.) <br>
o The E6 claims to only support 256-byte LUT's, but the backend<br>
now ignores that misinformation (and uses 1024). <br>
o Now ignores denial of expanded-mode by older E6's (model code<br>
0x63), in addition to newer E6's. <br>
<p>
* Updated Microtek2 backend (by Bernd Schroeder)<br>
o Added support for non-blocking I/O.<br>
o Preliminary support for a strip and a slide mode.<br>
o For people, who are annoyed, if the the scanhead moves back and fourth<br>
during a scan (backtracking): There is a new option 'disable<br>
backtracking'. At present this option must be activated by<br>
uncommenting the respective entry in the included microtek2.conf<br>
file. This is an advanced option.<br>
o The X6EL should no longer produce pixel junk after one successful scan.<br>
<p>
* Updated Mustek backend (by Andreas Bolsch)<br>
o larger buffer acquired (speeds up scanning slightly)<br>
o for SE models minimal resolution increased from 60 dpi to 75 dpi<br>
o for SE models 75 dpi in color mode is no longer used as the newer<br>
firware version seems to be even more buggy<br>
o bug in calculation of gamma table corrected (applies only to SE models,<br>
NOT related to the overflow problem which was corrected via CLIP( ) )<br>
o default resolution is now set according to the minimal resolution<br>
(firmware dependent)<br>
o for SE models all unsupported options (speed, ... ) explicitly disabled<br>
<p>
* Updated Nikon Coolscan backend (by Didier Carlier)<br>
o Reverse the pixel order for the LS-1000.<br>
<p>
* Updated snapscan backend to v0.6 (by Kevin Charter and Petter Reinholdtsen)<br>
o Fixes the versioning problem.<br>
o Add support for SnapScan 1236s (should also work for SnapScan 600).<br>
<p>
* Updated UMAX backend (by Oliver Rauch)<br>
o Added support for Linotype Hell Saphir 2<br>
o Changed bug in gray gamma data conversion<br>
o Added support for Nikon AX-210<br>
o Added "Vista S-6E" as supported<br>
o Added PowerLook-II (PL-II) as supported<br>
o Added Astra 600S as supported<br>
