OK, sane-0.61 is finally available. The following files are available<br>
at <a href="ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sane/:">ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sane/:</a><br>
<p>
47787 Jul 10 09:31 sane-0.6-0.61.diff.gz<br>
1037 Jul 10 09:34 sane-0.61.lsm<br>
342471 Jul 10 09:37 sane-0.61.tar.gz<br>
<p>
The files should also show up shortly in the Incoming directory at<br>
sunsite.unc.edu. I was unable to upload them the tsx-11 since the<br>
disk seems to be full.<br>
<p>
The relevant section from the NEWS file is appended to this mail.<br>
<p>
The SANE home page now has a fairly large and detailed table on what's<br>
supported on what platform. The table is at:<br>
<p>
<a href="http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux/sane/support.html">http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux/sane/support.html</a><br>
<p>
If you have any new info or corrections, please let me know.<br>
<p>
Note that, thanks to NOGAYA Shigeki, the HP backend now uses the<br>
pixel-unit commands by default. This means that the backend should<br>
now work with the ScanJet 5P. I would like to ask everybody with a<br>
ScanJet scanner to give sane-0.61 a try and let me know how it works.<br>
In case of trouble, you can get back the old code by commenting out<br>
the line:<br>
<p>
#define PREFER_DEVICE_PIXEL<br>
<p>
in backend/hp.c.<br>
<p>
Enjoy,<br>

* HP backend now uses pixel-unit commands to accommodate ScanJet 5P.
<p>
* Platform-specific SCSI setup info is now in sanei-scsi(5).
<p>
* xscanimage(1) now has a section on how to run it under GIMP.
<p>
* B&amp;W qcam support should now work (reports on how well it works are
welcome).
<p>
* Exiting xscanimage with preview window open should no longer cause
an error.
<p>
* Support for OpenStep/NeXTStep added (xscanimage and xcam require an
X server and the GTK+ libraries, though). User-level SCSI is
supported.
<p>
* SCSI support for NetBSD and FreeBSD should work now. Thanks to
NOGAYA Shigeki &lt;<a href="mailto:nogaya@mbox.kyoto-inet.or.jp">nogaya@mbox.kyoto-inet.or.jp</a>&gt; and
Amancio Hasty &lt;<a href="mailto:hasty@rah.star-gate.com">hasty@rah.star-gate.com</a>&gt; for relevant patches.
<p>
* New man-page sane-scsi(5) with platform-specific SCSI tips and tricks.
<p>
* SANE now builds on HP-UX (SCSI support untested) and IRIX (no SCSI
support), too.
