<P>
I'we made a new unstable development snapshot available from
<BR>
&lt;URL:<A HREF="http://www.student.uit.no/~pere/linux/">http://www.student.uit.no/~pere/linux/</A>&gt;. I even generated a
<BR>
backend list available from
<BR>
&lt;URL:<A HREF="http://www.student.uit.no/~pere/linux/sane/sane-devel-20000221-backends.html">http://www.student.uit.no/~pere/linux/sane/sane-devel-20000221-backends.html</A>&gt;.
<BR>
Quite a few changes made their way in before the code freeze.
<BR>
<P>The code freeze will last until 2000-03-05, and only documentation
<BR>
updates and fixes for grave bug should be commited to CVS. I'm not
<BR>
sure how we should classify the grave bugs, but here are a few
<BR>
suggestions:
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;- Compile errors on any supported platform.
<BR>
&nbsp;- Any bug making backends completely unusable.
<BR>
<P>All patches to the code to be commited before release 1.0.2 must be
<BR>
posted on the list with a description why it is required. Before it
<BR>
is accepted, it needs to be checked and approved on the list by one of
<BR>
the other backend maintainers. Make a note in the changelog with who
<BR>
approved the change.
<BR>
<P>Updates to documentation do not need such approval.
<BR>
<P>I tested the distribution on HP/UX 10.20 and Irix 6.5, and after a
<BR>
small patch for Irix, it compiles on both. I did noticed a serious
<BR>
problem on Irix: The libraries are named &quot;*.so.2.1&quot; (and &quot;*.so.2&quot;),
<BR>
while the dll backend are looking for &quot;*.so.1&quot;. I have no idea what
<BR>
is going on, but think we should fix it before release time.
<BR>
<P>Here are last weeks changelog:

<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Defining them gave bogus code in &lt;sys/types.h&gt; on Irix 6.5.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* configure.in: New flag --enable-warnings to turn on or off more
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GCC warnings. Default should be 'on' for development snapshots,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and 'off' for releases.

<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;some more supported scanners.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Removed OPT_PREVIEW_RESOLUTION so that the frontend can handle
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the preview resolution.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Changed the OPT_RESOLUTION data from a range to a word list, so
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that the frontends can display the correct list of available
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;resolutions.
<BR>

<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* sanei/sanei_thread.c include/sane/sanei_thread.h: These files
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;declares a _proposed_ internal SANE interface. It was proposed by
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yuri Dario to wrap UNIX functions fork(), kill(), waitpid() and

<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Patch from Yuri Dario.
