Well, there's only one new plugin at the moment, but we've added support for high resolutions (>3200dpi) to iscan. On the backend side that means we are setting the horizontal and vertical resolutions independently based on information from the 'ESC i' command. The problem is that all those old plugin-requiring models don't accept just any ole combination of the two. In the new plugin, the one for the Perfection V500 PHOTO (GT-X770), I've doctored it so that feeding it an 'ESC i' returns only allowed combinations (depending on whether you want to scan from the flatbed or TPU or ADF) and all is well. The old plugins return info that more often than not results in an invalid argument, even for the lower resolutions. The result is that trying to use iscan-2.11.0 with those old plugins will make it just about impossible to scan anything. All you get are invalid argument errors. >> BTW, as of 2008-04-01 our company changed its name, again.
