Hi everyone, Code freeze for sane-backends 1.0.16 is now active. This means that no changes to the code should be committed. The only exceptions are bugs that may render a backend completely useless, that may destroy hardware, or that break compilation on at least one platform. If in doubt, ask sane-devel. Documentation and translation updates are still allowed.
Timetable: 2005-08-07 Release There have been many changes since the last release. Therefore please test the current version of sane-backends carefully, so all bugs are found until release. Please also test a clean install (remove old sane-backends installations before installing the new one). Current snapshots are available here: http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/ The current NEWS file is appended.
