* AUTHORS: Added Michael Herder and me for pnm. Updated my email
address.
* TODO: Removed pnm entry about adding more options. Added entry about
epson backend freezing when trying to detect non-epson USB scanner.
Added entry about adding contact adresses to .desc files. Added
comment about me working on a sane man page. Removed entry about OS/2
problems in sanei_scsi.c.
* configure configure.in: Removed a newline in --help message.
* backend/pnm.c: Added several options: gamma tables
(-> arrays), resolution option (word list), read only test option
(SANE_CAP_SOFT_DETECT), several options for returning status codes
in sane_read (all of this is from Michael Herder <crapsite@gmx.net>).
Added build version info, print version information in sane_init.
Use ../include/sane/ for includes. Version is 1.0.1.
* backend/pnm.desc: Updated contact info and version.
* PROJECTS TODO: Added entry about E3 USB chipset.
* backend/dll.c backend/dll.desc: New version is 1.0.5. Version and
PACKAGE_VERSION is printed with debug level set to 1 or higher.
The version numbers of all backends that are loaded are printed
at debug level 3 or higher. Print error if backend with wrong
major version number is loaded. Some standardization changes
concerning the DBG messages.
* backend/net.c backend/net.desc: New version is 1.0.5. Version and
PACKAGE_VERSION is printed with debug level set to 1 or higher.
Some standardization changes concerning the DBG messages.
* backend/pnm.c: Return SANE_INFO_RELOAD_PARAMS even if the pnm
file doesn't exist or can't be loaded (from mh <crapsite@gmx.net>).
* doc/backend-writing.txt: Added AUTHORS to the list of things that
should be updated when including a new backend. Added points about
avoiding printf and exit in backends.
* doc/releases.txt: New file. This text summarizes some points to
pay attention to when a new release of sane-backends is made.
Additions and corrections are appreciated.
* doc/scanimage.man: Add some more information about the -V option.
* frontend/scanimage.c: The option -V now also prints the version of
the backend (ususally dll).
* backend/pnm.c: Fixed three segfaults due to buffer overruns:
maximum length of filename wasn't checked; maximum length in
sane_read wasn't always checked; ppm_type wasn't always set in
getparmfromfile. Added some checks for safety and removal of
warnings. Added DBG lines for every SANE API call.
* TODO: Added entries about the backend:devicename issue. Add a
comment about fronends not to crash when length is -1. Added entry
about sane-pie. Added point about fronends not checking if too
much data is delivered with sane_read.
* PROJECTS: Added entry about sane-pie.
