Hi all, I like to announce the new version 1.3 of scanbd, the scanner button daemon.
This release is mostly a maintainers release as it restructures the layout of the source repository and adds support for autotools / configure. This makes compilation / integration much more simple. More documentation and helpful integration files (like systemd-config or startup for FreeBSD e.g.) for various platforms are added. I would like to clearly mention that all the hard work was done by Louis Lagendijk (louis at fazant.net)! Many thanks for his efforts and his patience! http://sourceforge.net/projects/scanbd/files/releases/scanbd-1.3.tar.gz/download or svn co https://scanbd.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scanbd/releases/1.3 [ scanbd is a scanner button daemon. It polls the scanner buttons looking for buttons pressed or function knob changes or other scanner events as paper inserts / removals and at the same time allows also scan-applications to access the scanners. If buttons are pressed, etc., various actions can be submitted (scan, copy, email, ...) via action scripts. The function knob values are passed to the action-scripts as well. Scan actions are also signaled via dbus. This can be useful for foreign applications. Scans can also be triggered via dbus from foreign applications. On platforms which support signaling of dynamic device insertion / removal (libudev, dbus, hal) scanbd supports this as well. scanbd can use all sane-backends or some special backends from the (old) scanbuttond project. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD ] -- Wilhelm
