Hello everyone, Although the announcement at
http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/index.html has not been updated yet at the time of writing, this is to let you all informally know that a new release of "Image Scan! for Linux" is now available from http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html and http://www.epkowa.co.jp/linux/dl_scan.html (in Japanese) The major changes are: - added support for the GT-15000 (aka ES-7000H) - added support for the Perfection 3170 PHOTO (aka GT-9400UF) - upgraded the SANE bits to sane-backends-1.0.12 The latter change means that "Image Scan! for Linux" now also should work with the Stylus CX5100/CX5200 (aka CC-600PX) although these have not been put through testing yet. Besides that a number of bugs have been fixed. Most notable amongst them is a serious memory corruption problem for the Perfection 1260 (aka GT-7300). TPU detection for this scanner should also be fixed, but there still is a known problem with the RPM packages with regards to this (somehow wrapping up a perfectly working iscan breaks the TPU detection; if you have trouble, try rebuilding from source). Taking a peek at the Japanese version at http://www.epkowa.co.jp/linux/index.html shows that support for the CC-600PX and PM-A850 (so far only available in Japan) is slated for release at the end of the month. That release will make the support for the Stylus CX5100/CX5200 officially tested. -- Olaf Meeuwissen EPSON KOWA Corporation, ECS GnuPG key: 6BE37D90/AB6B 0D1F 99E7 1BF5 EB97 976A 16C7 F27D 6BE3 7D90 Penguin's lib! -- I hack, therefore I am -- LPIC-2
