<EM>&gt; Before we release a new version, I think a few documents should be
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; updated.

<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The valid return values for sane_init() are unspecified. This was
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; discussed in april (thread &quot;May sane_init fail?&quot;), where the problem
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; was left unsolved. My proposal to require sane_init to return
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; SANE_STATUS_GOOD before the backend could be used (this is how the dll
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; backend works) was not accepted.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; How to handle Automatic Document Feeders (ADF) is not documented.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; This is now handled by some backends and both scanimage and xsane, but
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; as far as I know, the details are not written down anywhere.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Are there more topics that need to be resolved?
</EM><BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;The missing 'sane-epson-doc.html' file.
<BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; There should also be a new chapter in the documentation with
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; information on the sanei API. As far as I know, there exist no
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; documentation on this API.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The SANE Mustek 600 III EP Plus backend will need to be rewritten to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; use the sanei_pio API before I will accept it into the distribution.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The author did not know about the sanei_pio API, and used Linux's
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; ioperm() instead. I believe more documentation would have avoided
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; this.
