* applied a patch by Douglas Gilbert to sanei_scsi.c
it solves the Problem that the scanner is not
found on linux systems when the order of the
scsi devices is not coverd by the order of
devices listed by /proc/scsi/scsi, it prefers
new kernel 2.4 methods when available
for existing sane installations and plustek memory access violation.
Added Canon FB620S and FS2710 backend and entries about Tru64
compilation problems and installation procedure for translations.
Generate sane-backends.html in doc/. New target: install-mostang.
Installs the sane standard (.ps, .ps.gz and html), the html manpages,
and sane-backends.html on www.mostang.com.

- removed usage of gettext from lib/getopt.c
- removed test for libintl/gettext in configure[.in] - removed intllib from frontend/Makfile.in
Removed changes regarding 12/14 bit support because of SANE
feature freeze for 1.0.4.
The following fixes are in the software compared to the version
prior to the feature freeze:
- refresh UI after a change in the scan mode setting (was not updated
when going from Binary to Gray or vice versa)
- Read values for "line distance" from the scanner instead of using
hardcoded values. This makes sure the backend always uses the correct
values regardless of firmware version.
- Fixed an "off-by-one" error in the color reordering routine that
caused weird artifacts in some instances.
wrong old installation of libsane.la
$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) libsane.la $(libdir)/libsane.la
to this:
$(LIBTOOL) $(MINST) $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) libsane.la $(libdir)/libsane.la
Oliver Rauch
* AUTHORS: Added Karsten Festag as maintainer of microtek2.
* backend/mustek.* doc/sane-mustek.man: Update to Mustek backend
1.0-100. Added option fast-preview that tries to use the fastest
mode available for preview. This is supported for the 3-pass
scanners (was option "preview in gray") and some of the
ScanExpress scanners (6000 SP, 12000 SP Plus). Use #include
"../include/sane/...". Put option force-wait into mustek.conf

file

resource before calling the auth_callback function
* changed configure.in and frontend/Makefile.in,
"-lintl" is not added to @LIBS@ any more, @INTLLIBS@
is defined instead now, this is necessary because "-lintl"
has to be added to the frontends and not to a backend and
sane-config --libs must not list it.

Festag)) Use DBG instead of printf/fprintf. Use
#include "../sane/include/..." instead of #include "sane/...". Fixed
warnings.
* changed configure and configure.in, removed test for sting.h/strings.h
this is not needed because we use strchr instead (always in string.h)
of index (sometimes in string.h, sometimes in strings.h)
* changed ltconfig for aix4*, repleace -o $objdir/$soname by -o $lib,
the shared libraries are handled correct now

sane-frontends/PROBLEMS)
* sanei/sanei_constrain_value.c: If constraint_type is
SANE_CONSTRAINT_RANGE and quantization is used, the results may
be outside the limits of the range because quantization uses the
orginal value. Fixed by doing quantization with the already
checked value.

backend. Updated entries about the include issue. Added point about
additional options for pnm backend, install problem of libsane.la,
and some build problems and the --without-x problem. Some more

find non-SCSI scanners.

halftone and grain for Paragon series II scanners. Backtracking is
used automaticly by all scanners now. Some safety checks, code
cleanup and more debug output. Details are in
backend/mustek.CHANGES.
if checked option is a range and the value is out of
range the value is now corrected to the minimum or maximum
allowed value and SANE_INFO_INEXACT is set.
The old version returned with an error. This caused problems
when the value was a little bit out of range because of rounding
errors.
Oliver Rauch
* 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.

Removed detection of " C04" and " C12" (don't seem to exist).
Changed SCSI request scheme. Sane_read can read more than 4096
bytes from pipe. Minimum dpi is 30 now. Fixed LD correction for
Paragon 1200SP 1.06 and 1.11. Read SCSI buffer into big block and
do LD after that for Paragon one-pass scanners. New option
"blocksize" in mustek.conf. Better detection of the scanner type
(three-pass, Paragon I, ...). Fixed possible segmentation faults
in Paragon 600 II N LD code, scsi_sense_wait_ready and
sense_handler. Decreased maximum scan size of Paragon 800 II
SP. For three-pass scanners: fixed stop_scan and speed code, scan
area is in pixels now, added RGB brightness and contrast, use
+-100% for brightness and contrast. Return SANE_STATUS_CANCELLED
when scan was cancelled. Option "force backtracking" is enabled by
default, "scan speed" is set to "fastest". Added option
"force-warn" for mustek.conf. Rewrote halftone mode. Better error
handling and more debug output.

about alpha channel (was added to LEVEL2 file).
* LEVEL2: Add point about image data polarity.
* frontend/scanimage.c: Removed some warnings.
