Hi all, After 26(!) months, sane-backends-1.0.28 has been released. You can find the latest source tarballs and checksums on the [releases page][1].
[1]: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/releases That page also mentions a "Source code" pull down menu from which you can download the git repository corresponding to the release. Please note that these archives do *not* include generated files such as the configure script, Makefile.in files and more. A nicely formatted version of the release notes can be found at the same location but for your convenience, the "raw" Markdown has been included below. ### Backends - adds a `ricoh2` backend - adds support for 40+ new scanner models - significantly changes `canon_dr`, `fujitsu`, `genesys`, `gt68xx`, `hp5590` and, `pixma` backends - fixes bugs in `as6e`, `avision`, `mustek` and `plustek` backends - fixes scores of compiler warnings ### Frontends - adds, changes and removes options for `saned` (see `man 8 saned` for details) - adds: `-l` (listen), `-D` (daemonize), `-o` (once), `-e` (stderr), `-u` (user) - removes: `-s` (syslog). Use `-a -d level -o -f` for the old behavior - changes: `-d` (debug). Use `-a -d level -o -f -e` for the old behavior - `saned` now cancels scans if the data connections appears to have gone away (after 4 seconds by default, configurable in `saned.conf`) - adds `--output-file` option to `scanimage` - adds `--help` option to `scan-find-scanner` - changes `sane-desc` to create relative hyperlinks ### Documentation - adds translations for Catalan, Hebrew and Valencian - updates translations for British English, Dutch, German and Ukrainian - marks unmaintained backends as such - documents USB workaround in `sane-usb` manual page ### Build - requires a C++11 compatible compiler for the `genesys` backend - requires a JPEG library when building the `pixma` backend - fixes unneeded linking when not using preloadable backend support - disables pthread support for systems with non-integral `pthread_t` type - fixes USB support detection on BeOS and OS/2 at `./configure` time - normalizes trailing whitespace in source code files. If you have local patches that no longer apply, have a look at the whitespace ignoring options of `patch` and `git apply`. In case you encounter any issues with this release, please contact the [sane-devel mailing list][2] or [submit an issue][3].
