OK, I think we're this -&gt; &lt;- close to a first "official" release where<br>
we could make things available more widely. I added in Tristan's<br>
latest graphical frontend. It will get compiled only if the gtk<br>
toolkit is available. At present, it gets compiled as a (somewhat<br>
useless) standalone program---i.e., it does not get compiled as a GIMP<br>
plug in. I wasn't sure what the right thing to do is here. Oh, I<br>
also renamed the program from sanescan to xscan---I don't think that<br>
name is taken yet, so why not? But if you don't like it, just give a<br>
holler.<br>
<p>
The main new feature is auto configuration. You should be able to get<br>
something working simply by doing:<br>
<p>
./configure<br>
make<br>
make install<br>
<p>
How is that for a change? ;-)<br>
<p>
Tristan, do you have an idea of how long it will take to get the<br>
preview working? It looks like you made some real nice progress with<br>
the graphical frontend, so it may be worth waiting for that before<br>
announcing things more widely.<br>
<p>
Andy, I was hoping to integrate the two linedistance correction codes<br>
tonight, but am too burnt out to think straight, so I figured it's<br>
safer to leave that for the next release. Definitively something we<br>
should do before making the first "public" release though.<br>
<p>
Oh, and this is a _discussion_ list, not a monologue list, so feel<br>
free to send your comments/thoughts/flames/hacks or whatnot to<br>
<a href="mailto:sane-devel@azstarnet.com">sane-devel@azstarnet.com</a>.<br>
<p>
Enjoy,<br>
