patches have been applied yet, but it's a start. The backends
are not installed as shared libs but as add-ons, which are shared libs
but in a specific folder in [/system|~]/config/add-ons/ named SANE/.
The install target has been changed to account for this,
Some files don't exist in BeOS/ZETA (ipc.h, ...).
Bbackend function names get a prefix, I suppose to avoid namespace clashes.
Though we do have a libdl to implement dl_open, the native way is prefered.
Added a --with-docdir= configure arg.
BeOS has a broken get[name|addr]info() from bind. This is fixed in ZETA R1.
libtool needs -no-undefined. Various VPATH fixes.
Check for <be/drivers/USB_scanner.h>, but not used yet.
No S_IFSOCK (sockets are fds to /dev/net/api). Stub pio code, untested.
Patch from Francois Revol <revol@free.fr>.
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ($SHLIB_PATH, $LIBPATH) first and only check LIBDIR if
opening failed. New version: 1.0.6.

* PROBLEMS: Point to pnm/saned security risks.
* TODO: Removed the entries about epson usb mis-detection and check
for installed sane versions.
* configure configure.in backend/Makefile.in: Added detection of older
versions of SANE. The pnm backend is now disabled by default.
* backend/dll.c backend/dll.desc: Fixed file descriptor leak (found by
Douglas Gilbert). New version: 1.0.2.
* backend/net.desc: Added Jochen Eisinger's email address as contact
for the net backend.
* doc/sane-pnm.man: Point to pnm/saned security risks.
* README: Updated xsane link.
* configure configure.in backend/dll.c backend/dll.desc
backend/net.c backend/net.desc include/sane/config.h.in
Yet another change in the version system for dll and net.
For sane_init return the version of the package but use
own internal version number in the source (printed with
debugging enabled) and in *.desc. The internal versions
of both net and dll are set to 1.0.1. Please increase the
build number with every change on the source files.
* doc/realeases.txt -> doc/releases.txt. Fixed spelling error.
Added entries about sane-backends.html, sane.ps, man pages,
platforms page.
* 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).
