<P>
Hi,
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I guess it is time to make a new release. I suggest making a new
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; release in 1.5 month, with the following schedule:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 3 weeks to apply patches
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; -- feature freeze
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 2 weeks to test all patches
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; -- code freeze
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 1 week to fix remaining bugs
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; -- release.
</EM><BR>
<P>Looks ok for me.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I'll try to find time to add the V4L backend. The only other vital
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; change I know about is the sane_close() bug. It must be fixed in all
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; backends.
</EM><BR>
<P>I did this for backend/abaton.c apple.c qcam.c tamarack.c some minutes ago.
<BR>
These don't seem to have an active maintainer.
<BR>
<P>I have added the sane-desc.el addition (interface) also and changes of the
<BR>
.desc files of the unmaintained backends (abaton.desc agfafocus.desc
<BR>
apple.desc dc210.desc dmc.desc qcam.desc ricoh.desc s9036.desc snapscan.desc
<BR>
tamarack.desc). I have added &quot;Serial port&quot; as a further interface type. I
<BR>
wasn't sure if qcam has Parport or proprietary interface, can somebody
<BR>
enlighten me about this? Shall I change the .desc files for the backends
<BR>
not included in the distrubution also?
<BR>
<P>I have included the Parallel port interface for the Mustek scanners
<BR>
(sanei_pa4s2) now. So it will be possible to include the backend for Mustek
<BR>
parallel port scanners (mustek_pp, supersedes musteka4s2). It's up to Jochen
<BR>
Eisinger if he wants this addition before sane 1.0.3.
<BR>
<P>A bug that should be fixed in my opinion before 1.0.3 is the NDEBUG handling
<BR>
in microtek.c. Compiling with NDEBUG defined results in a compilation error.
<BR>
I have emailed the maintainer weeks ago but haven't heard from him. Should I
<BR>
just apply the little patch (just an &quot;#ifdef NDEBUG&quot; somewhere)?
<BR>
<P>It would be nice if we could have manpages for all backends. The README shows
<BR>
where manpages are missing. I will try to add standard manpages which point
<BR>
to further resources wherever possible.
<BR>
<P>For the Mustek backend there will &quot;only&quot; be bug fixes until the next
<BR>
release. There are some bugs where I don't know yet if they are mustek.c ore
<BR>
sanei_scsi bugs e.g. segmentation faults when a device driver is not loaded
<BR>
and LANG is set.
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Henning
<BR>
<P><PRE>
