Hi. Can anyone explain the state of the SANE2 branch? I've noticed that 
the SANE2 development seems inactive. Is this branch discontinued?

I will make a try to eliminate the separate data port requirement for 
"saned". I think it should be possible to do this by extending the SANE1 
protocol in a backwards compatible way, say, by introducing a new RPC 
call. Comments on this?

Regards,

The development of SANE2 hasn't begun, there have been only
discussions and there is a draft of the SANE2 standard. The standard
is not finished yet as some of the problems are not easy to solve.

Possible problems: You can't cancel a scan while data acquisition is
in progress. This is one of the adavantages of the 2 port solution.
