Hi everyone,<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The latest release, sane-0.73, is finally available. You can find it<br>
|
|
in the usual places, including:<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="ftp://ftp.mostang.com/pub/sane/sane-0.73.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.mostang.com/pub/sane/sane-0.73.tar.gz</a><br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For a list of mirrors, see <a href="http://www.mostang.com/sane/source.html">http://www.mostang.com/sane/source.html</a><br>
|
|
(note that it may take a couple of hours before the mirrors pick the<br>
|
|
new version up).<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
What's new? A bunch of things:<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
----------<br>
|
|
* Backend libraries are now installed in $(libdir)/sane (/usr/local/lib/sane/,<br>
|
|
by default).<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
* Updated Microtek backend (Matto Marjanovic):<br>
|
|
- ScanMaker 600ZS, Agfa Arcus II, StudioScan, and StudioScan II<br>
|
|
now supported (or recognized, at least ;-).<br>
|
|
- Fixed 3-pass scanning.<br>
|
|
- Various bug-fixes (see ChangeLog for details).<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
* New Microtek2 backend (Bernd Schroeder)<br>
|
|
This backend supports the ScanMaker 630 and possibly other newer scanners<br>
|
|
that are not supported by the "old" Microtek backend.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Additional info by Bernd:<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the very first release of this backend, so consider this<br>
|
|
software to be in alpha state. The backend was developed on a Pentium<br>
|
|
(60 Mhz) with Linux 2.0.29 and a ScanMaker 630 attached to the<br>
|
|
Adaptec AHA1505E that shipped with the scanner. As frontend<br>
|
|
xscanimage was used. It is intended to work with other models, too,<br>
|
|
but there are no experiences yet.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following options are supported:<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
- 8-bit color, 8-bit grayscale, halftone and lineart scans.<br>
|
|
- brightness, contrast, shadow, midtone and highlight control<br>
|
|
- scalar gamma correction.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Options that are not yet supported include:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
- 3-pass scanners<br>
|
|
- more than 8 bit per color output data. Provisions are made here<br>
|
|
and there in the code, to support more than 8 bit, but that's<br>
|
|
uncomplete.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
* configure --disable-static should now work as expected.<br>
|
|
----------<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I think I tested things fairly well both on Linux/Alpha and Linux/x86<br>
|
|
using the Mustek scanner and the color QuickCam that I have, but since<br>
|
|
there were some non-trivial changes in the install process and in the<br>
|
|
SCSI-code, it wouldn't surprise me if a few minor bugs crept in. If<br>
|
|
so, please let me know. By the same token, if you build SANE for a<br>
|
|
platform whose info is not current in the table at<br>
|
|
<a href="http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-support.html">http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-support.html</a>, please send me the<br>
|
|
necessary info so I can update the relevant entry.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that not all backend configuration files take advantage of the<br>
|
|
new device-naming scheme yet (scsi VENDOR...). This is because i<br>
|
|
haven't heard yet whether things work for those backends as expected.<br>
|
|
If you do test this, please send me an updated .conf file.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Thanks to everybody who contributed new code or fixes to this version!<br>
|
|
Keep up the good work!<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Enjoy,<br>
|
|
<p>
