OK, just uploaded sane-0.33 to the usual place:<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sane/sane-0.33.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sane/sane-0.33.tar.gz</a><br>

|
Here is what the NEWS file has to say:<br>
|
|
<p>

|
New in 0.33:
|
|
<p>
|
|
* sane_get_devices() now takes a second argument of boolean type. If it's
|
|
SANE_TRUE, then the backend must return local (non-remote) devices only.
|
|
<p>
|
|
* scan now uses the default-unit of `mm' (millimeters) again for lengths.
|
|
Using `cm' (centimeter) proved confusing since the help messages print
|
|
length values in millimeters.
|
|
<p>
|
|
* Debugging can now be controlled on a per-backend basis. The debug-level
|
|
of backend <be> is set by environment variable SANE_DEBUG_<be>. For example,
|
|
to see all debug messages of the metadl backend, set SANE_DEBUG_METADL to
|
|
a large value (say 128). The sanei.h file provides three macros
|
|
to assist in using this debug facility: DBG_DECL to declare the integer
|
|
variable that holds the debug level, DBG_INIT to initialize debugging,
|
|
and DBG to print a debug message. See backend/sanei.h and
|
|
backend/metadl.c for details and examples.
|
|
<p>
|
|
* scan now supports setting options to "auto" mode (e.g., --brightness=auto
|
|
would ask the backend to select brightness automatically if that option
|
|
supports automatic mode
|
|
<p>
|
|
* scan now allows abbreviating the values of a string-lists. Case is ignored
|
|
and the best matches is used (either longest unique match or exact match
|
|
when ignoring case)
|
|

|
One caveat: my Mustek scanner is temporarily out of order (I'm waiting
|
|
for a cheap 53c810 card to show up), so I haven't been able to do any
|
|
fancy testing.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Andy and everybody else interested in change to the standard itself:
|
|
take a close look at the change I made to sane_get_devices(). If you
|
|
don't like the proposed solution, let me know. I hope the change is
|
|
good enough to get the network backend going without having to wreak
|
|
havoc with the existing interface.
|
|
<p>
|
|
[I just noticed I forgot to update the changebars in sane.tex. It's fixed
|
|
now and will show up in the next version.]
|
|
<p>
|
|
Enjoy,
