CHANGES for the SANE Mustek USB backend

2004-03-02
  * Release of version 1.0-18.

2004-03-02
  * Added workaround for data0 toggle bug. I think this is a bug in the
    chipset. The chipset doesn't set the toggle to data0 when the endpoints
    are reset. As this is done whenever the device files/libusb is closed,
    this backend worked only once. Now we count the number of URBs and
    just read/write some crap if the number is odd.
