Tom, we have historically relied on Mattias Ellert to do the OSX
versions. I don't know if he had to apply patches to enable the
compilation. If you want to give it a go, I would look for any patches
like that first.

As Allan mentioned in another reply, there is talk of releasing sometime
in April.

Considering the way things work now (as in, we don't do bug fix releases
of any kind), the RELEASE_1_0_x tag would be the start of your stable
branch for the largest value of x.

This would break the dll backend, like, completely.  For better of for
worse (the latter if you ask me), that backend's backend loading logic
is tightly tied to the package's version number.  To such an extent,
that we cannot even release a 1.1.x without breaking stuff, IIRC.

Hope this, eh, helps,

Re: [sane-devel] Is it time of a new release?

We were discussing another release recently. We have at least one
major networking security bug we need to fix, and there are a few
backends which have some outstanding patches yet to commit. I think
perhaps at the end of April these things will be ready. If you are
able, taking a pass through our bug tracker looking for things we
might have missed would be helpful.
