2001-04-19
  * Don't check for macro VERSION any longer in sane_init. Print out
    PACKAGE_VERSION instead. 
  * Update email address and homepage.

2001-08-08
  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-106

2001-04-08
  * Backend status is "stable" now. Hopefully this doesn't mean that new
    bugs show up now :-)

2001-04-01
  * Added detection of the Pro models TA (at least the 1200SP Pro).
  * Added warning about real (not relabeled) Trust scanners.

2001-03-31
  * Removed comment about brightness and contrast in the description strings
    because you can't read them anyway in color mode (at least with xsane).

2001-03-31
  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-105

2001-03-31
  * Removed compilation warning in gamma_correction.
  * Fixed handling of tlx and brx when scanning with ADF (bug found by
    Andreas Rathgeber <rathgeber2000@yahoo.de>).
  * Fixed bug in linedistance correction (ld_block) concerning ADF. With ADF
    the linedistance values are ordered in the other direction.
  * Fixed bug concerning ld correction for the 1200SP 1.00 (frontend hangs).
    Moved the do-nothing ld correction to its own function. With ADF this
    scanner doesn't really work in color mode but that's probably a firmware
    problem.

2001-03-18
  * 600 II N: Gamma correction in gray mode now works. Length must be 768
    bytes in gray mode also, cdb size is 6 bytes. Thanks to Jakub Bogusz
    <qboosh@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl> who found out about that and wrote a
    patch.

2001-01-17
  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-104

2001-01-17
  * Pro: Do calibration only in Lineart, Gray and Color 24 modes.

2001-01-03
  * Added 36 bit color mode for the Paragon Pro scanners.

2000-12-31
  * Added function little_endian (from coolscan.c) to check the endianess of
    the current architecture (needed for 16 bit frames).
  * Added option for Gray fast
  * Added option for bit depth (8 and 12 bits for the Pro models)
  * Removed "special" modes from mode option
  * Removed 48 bit options for the SE Plus. This mode seems to use only
    interpolated information (but I may be wrong).

2000-12-31
  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-103
  
2000-12-30
  * Implemented calibration (color and gray mode) for the Paragon 1200 Pro.
    It's not perfect and needs lots of tests. It may work for the Paragon
    A3 also but is not tested.
  * SE 12000 SP Plus calibration is now better but not yet perfect.

2000-12-27
  * Enabled fast_preview for the Pro scanners (30 dpi).
  * Increased scan width to 8.6" for 1200 Pro.

2000-12-26
  * Added calibration for the SE 12000 SP Plus. Doesn't fully work until now 
    (images are too dark and colored).

2000-12-23
  * Added option for Legal format (because the ScanExpress 12000 SP A4 size
    scanner can't be distinguished from the Paragon 1200 LS Legal size scanner
    by software).
  
2000-12-21
  * Added a few checks for Null-Pointers.
  * Removed old code for SE calibration.
  * Added option "quality calibration" for SE Plus scanners

2000-12-21
  * sane-backends 1.0.4 was released (including Mustek backend 1.0.102).

2000-12-10
  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-102
  
2000-12-09
  * Fixed wrong comment in encode_resolution
  * Added missing test for return status in sane_start
  * Fixed wrong calculation of tlx and tly for Pro series scanners

2000-12-05
  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-101
 
2000-12-05
  * Fixed lamp setting (avoid problems with some SE scanners).

2000-12-01
  * Reduced scan area for Paragon 1200 SP PRO (to avoid bumping the scan slider
    at the end).
  * Removed warning for 1200 SP PRO.

2000-11-26
  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-100

2000-11-26
  * Default for "fast preview" is "false" now because this option doesn't work
    for all SE scanners correctly.
  * Added more debug output for area_and_windows.
  * Added more debug output for set_window.
  * Set minimum tly for 8000SP to 0.
  * Don't use block mode for Paragon 8000 SP scanners because this breaks
    color mode with firmware 2.x.

2000-11-19
  * Paragon 6000 SP doesn't use block mode any more. It's a bit faster now.
  * Updated sane-mustek.man concerning buffersize and blocksite.

2000-11-17
  * Updated manpage concerning force-wait. Some minor corrections and additions
  * Added option force-wait to mustek.conf and did some minor changes.

2000-11-16
  * With option force_wait set, the backend waits also before sending the
    inquiry command. This seems to be necessary for the 600 II N.

2000-11-12
  * Use SANE_Int, SANE_Bool, SANE_Word for int wherever this seems to
    be appropriate.
  * Move macros to mustek.h.
  * Code cleanup.

2000-11-11
  * OPT_GRAY_PREVIEW is now called OPT_FAST_PREVIEW.
  * For SE scanners use 36/38 dpi color for fast preview.
  * use include "../include/sane/" instead of "sane/"
  * go back to old scheme for SE scanners in color mode (faster scans
    couldn't be reproduced)

2000-11-10
  * added more debug output in constrain_value

2000-11-05
  * Released backend version 1.0-99.

2000-11-05
  * Added support for TAIV for SE 12000 SP. Lamp is turned off while
    scanning (seems to work for firmware >= 2.00)
  * Adjusted transparency adapter support for all ScanExpress scanners.
    The 12000 A3 SP can only do A4 beacuse I don't have the right TA.
  * don't use u_int* types in mustek.h because the definitions for these 
    types are not included

2000-11-04
  * SE scanners can now scan 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600,
    900 and 1200 dpi in color mode (the 1200 dpi models). These are fixed 
    resolutions, a resolution >= the wanted resolution is selected. This
    makes preview and some resolutions faster than before (at least for
    some scanners), because lower resolutions can be used.
  * Minimum scan resolution is 60 dpi in gray and lineart and 75 dpi in 
    color mode for the SE scanners now.
  
2000-10-29
  * Fixed a bug concerning block LD. Paragon 1 and 2 were exchanged.
  * Paragon 12000SP color mode works now without garbage at the end
  * Fixed Paragon 1200 SP Pro color mode > 600 dpi (rounding problem)
  * Temporarily disabled 48 bit color mode for release

2000-10-25
  * Detect support for TA IV (transparency adapter for ScanExpress scanners)
  * TA IV supported now; lamp is turned off at least for SE 1200 SP Plus
    scanners
  * Adjusted scan area for TA: SE 12000SP Plus
  * Simplify enlarge x
  * Set tl-y to 0 for all ScanExpress scanners
  * First attempt to support 48 bits color mode (SE 12000 SP Plus)

2000-10-22
  * Detect SE 12000 SP Plus properly
  * Cover sensor only checked for SE models that support this feature

2000-10-21
  * Removed MAX_BLOCKSIZE macro (not used anymore).

2000-10-03
  * Released backend version 1.0-98.
  
2000-10-03
  * Fixed segmentation fault in sane_init (else statement was missing). 
    Thanks to Oliver Rauch who spotted this problem.
  * Re-enabled double buffering.

2000-10-02
  * Zero out inquiry memory block before reading inquiry.

2000-10-01

  * Fix sane_cancel for Paragon series II scanners
  * Fix speed and grain for Paragon series II scanners
  * Backtracking is used for all scanners (removed option)
  * included stop_scan into do_stop
  * better integration of the wait_ready functions
  * check that size of buffer <= size of block buffer

2000-09-24
  * Added more debug output in sane_get_option_descriptor.
  * Added more debug output in sane_control_option.
  * Added check for devicename and handle != 0 in sane_open
  * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_get_option_descriptor
  * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_get_parameters
  * Added check for handle and val != 0 in sane_control_option
  * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_start
  * Added check for handle, buf and len != 0 in sane_read
  * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_cancel
  * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_set_io_mode
  * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_get_select_fd
  * Output option title in sane_get_option_descriptor if name is null

2000-09-24
  * Released backend version 1.0-97.
  
2000-09-24
  * Added RGB brightness and contrast for 3pass scanners
  * Brightness and contrast is +-100% for 3pass scanners now

2000-09-23
  * Paragon 12000CX uses pixel unit now.
  * Paragon 6000CX uses pixel unit now (MSF-06000CZ).
  * Option "force backtracking" is enabled by default now
  * Option "scan speed" is set to "fastest" by default now
  * Add option "force-wait" (for mustek.conf). If enabled, wait for scan

  * Make DBG output in sane_control_option() more readable
  * Better error handling and debug output in sane_get_option_descriptor()
  * Changed Halftone handling, removed grain size

2000-09-22
  * Paragon 12000SP 1.06 uses LD_NORMAL now.

2000-09-19
  * Return sane_status_cancelled in sane_read if last scan was cancelled.

2000-09-18
  * Changed speed_code to use values between 1...5 for 3pass scanners.
    I don't know yet if these are correct for the other scanners, too.
  * Don't do a stop scan for 3pass scanners (only when cancelling).
  * Set bit 0 of first byte of area_and_windows for gray + color.
  * Paragon 6000CX uses pixel unit now (MFS-06000CX).
  * Pixel unit for 3pass scanners is now supported

2000-09-17
  * changed maximum y range of MFS-800 II SP to 288 mm because of
    a report of scanner touching the end.

2000-09-10
  * added some testing (result != null and arg !=0) in sense_handler
    (found by Martin Blasczyk)

2000-08-20
  * Paragon series II is also using blockmode now.
  * Removed warning from mustek.c.
  * Fixed (maybe) problem in scsi_sense_wait_ready and added more
    debug output.

2000-08-18
  * added new option blocksize to mustek.conf
  * 800 II SP works now in new block mode (get_image_status is needed
    before each block)

2000-08-17
  * Removed some warnings from sanei_ab306.c.

2000-08-16
  * Fixed some bugs in fix_linedistance_block. Paragon 600 models seem to
    work now. 800 II SP freezes, however.
  * Fixed segmentation fault for the 600 II N in ld correction code.

2000-08-15
  * Changed handling of three pass scanners (MUSTEK_FLAG_THREE_PASS instead of
    !MUSTEK_FLAG_SINGLE_PASS).
  * Added flags for Paragon series I and II (MUSTEK_PLAG_PARAGON_1 and
    MUSTEK_PLAG_PARAGON_2).
  * Distinguish between three-pass, Paragon series 1, Paragon series 2,
    ScanExpress, Pro and N type scanners.
  * Added support for scanning the whole image in one block without
    backtracking for the Paragon series II scanners.
  * Added fix_linedistance_block: like linedistance_normal but broken
    up into several SCSI buffers.

2000-08-14
  * Changed again linedistance correction for the Paragon 12000 SP 1.11.
    This seems to be a never ending story.
  * Set the minimum dpi value to 30. Some scanners (e.g. the MFS 8000SP
    v 2.04) block the SCSI bus with lower resolutions.

2000-08-12
  * Added support for Paragon 1200 SP Pro.
  * Added support for ScanExpress A3 SP.
  * Removed detection for " C12" and " C04" (don't seem to exist).
  * Changed SCSI read request scheme. Now two requests with half of the
    maximum SCSI buffer size are entered. Standard buffer size is 128 kB,
    so the buffer sent to the scanner is 64 kB for all types of scanners.
  * sane_read now reads more than 4096 bytes from pipe (if available).

2000-08-12
  * SANE 1.0.3 released (including Mustek backend 1.0.96).

2000-07-31
  * Released backend version 1.0-96.

2000-07-30
  * Fixed bug concerning inquiry of 3-pass scanners. ASCII values > 127
    weren't interpreted correctly (char instead of unsigned char).

2000-07-30
  * Released backend version 1.0-95

2000-07-30
  * Removed while {wait ()} loop. Used waitpid() instead. Maybe this cures
    some reported freezes. It's cleaner anyway.
  * Removed dead code.

2000-07-28
  * Released backend version 1.0-94

2000-07-29
  * Use #include "sane/..." instead of #include <sane/...>.

2000-07-27
  * Released backend version 1.0-93

2000-07-27
  * removed warnings

2000-07-26
  * fixed possible segfault pointer info was not checked for 0 (found by
    Petter Reinholdtsen)
  * Updated comment about Paragon 600 II N linedistance correction in man 
    page

2000-07-25
  * Fixed color scanning for Paragon 600 II N firmware < 2.00.

2000-07-25
  * Released backend version 1.0-92
  
2000-07-24
  * Fixed ADF handling (output was mirrored in x direction). Gray and lineart
    seems to work now. Color and halftone modes look somewhat crazy.
  * Removed comment about lack of testing of ADFs in manpage. They are
    tested to work now with most scanner at least basically.
  * removed braindead test for Pro series concerning gamma table length
    (discovered by Jan-Erik Karlsson).

2000-07-22
  * Fixed margin positions of MFS 6000CX and removed warning.
  * Warning is printed with DBG level 0 again.

2000-07-18
  * Released backend version 1.0-91

2000-07-18
  * Removed again MUSTEK_FLAG_LD_NONE for MFS-08000SP. Maybe the automatical
    detection works now.

2000-07-15
  * Released backend version 1.0-90

2000-07-15
  * Added MUSTEK_FLAG_LD_NONE for MFS-08000SP and removed warning for
    this scanner. Added TA support. First report for this device from
    Roland Koebler.
  * Changed LD correction system. Some scanners (e.g. the 800 II SP)
    seem to need different LD correction depending on resolution.
    Now with LD_NORMAL max_value is checked and correction is only done
    if it is != 0. Hope this works for all scanners.
  * Moved the comment after the example port entry in mustek.conf to
    the next line. Now this line should work.
  * Updated manpage concerning PP scanners and 600 II N.

2000-06-30
  * Released backend version 1.0-89

2000-06-30
  * Fixed bug in do_stop. The scan slider didn't return after the scan 
    in some situations.

2000-06-28
  * Released backend version 1.0-88

2000-06-28
  * Changed again linedistance handling for the Paragon 1200SP. This
    time version 1.07 seems to need a special treetment. Even with normal
    linedistance correction the image is corrupted at buffer boundaries
    in color mode. Maybe a firmware bug? Thanks to Michael Prechtl for
    all his tests.

2000-06-25
  * added missing newline to mustek.conf

2000-06-25
  * Released backend version 1.0-87

2000-06-25
  * updated manpage concerning parport and USB scanners
  * added example for 600 II N to mustek.conf

  * Paragon 1200 A3 PRO is fully functional now. Thanks to Heinrich Falk, who
    borrowed me this device.

2000-06-17
  * added calibration for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro (only dummy, doesn't work yet)
  * adjusted options for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro
  * added lineart support for Paragon 1200 A4 Pro
  * removed support for color lineart and color halftone modes
  * added color support for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro
  * added scsi_wait_sense, this fixed 1200 A3 Pro hangs
  * fixed gamma correction for 1200 A3 Pro. At the moment only 8 bit and

    values. Thanks to Jochen Eisinger.
  * Code cleanup and reorganization for inclusion of the Paragon 1200 A3 Pro.

2000-06-07
  * Fixed bug in sane_close where the chain of handles got destroyed by 
    closing the first device. This bug is in the backend since 3 1/2 years.
    Thanks to Jochen Eisinger for spotting this.

2000-06-05
  * Fixed some debug messages in fix_linedistance_se

2000-06-04

    normal LD corrections, all other use none. We'll see, if this works. 
    Thanks to Reinhard Günzel who helped to debug this.
  * fixed some long lines (>80 chars)

2000-06-03
  * released backend version 1.0-84

  * simpler linedistance debug output, only for 1-pass Paragon scanners

2000-06-02
  * removed code in dev_read_start which was never called (suggestion
    from Jan-Erik Karlsson)

2000-05-21
  * added double buffering (trying to copy the scsi buffer to the frontend
    while getting a new one). This probably won't work on all
    platforms and with all SCSI host adapters but in this case performance
    shouldn't be worse than before.

2000-05-21
  * released backend version 1.0-83

2000-05-21
  * The Mustek Paragon 1200 A3 PRO is now detected. This is only a test

    These modes didn't work for any of my scanners.
  * added more debug output for ADF and TA
  * fixed bug when ADF is out of documents
  * Scan source option is only available if TA or ADF is present. For
    SE and N models TA is always available because it can't be detected 
    by hardware
  * removed "backtrack", "speed" and "grain" from 600 II N options,
    the scanner doesn't support them

  * added variable debug_level to be faster without debugging in attach ()
  * fixed bug in mustek.conf handling; positional options were applied
    to the first device only
  * added an option to mustek.conf: "buffersize". This overwrites the
    default scan buffer sizes. The unit is kilobytes.
  * adjusted mustek.conf to more reasonable defaults
  * update manpage and mustek.desc to reflect the changes

2000-04-22
