	  - removed usage of gettext from lib/getopt.c
	  - removed test for libintl/gettext in configure[.in]
	  - removed intllib from frontend/Makfile.in
	* updated umax.desc

2000-12-03  Karl Heinz Kremer <khk@khk.net>

	* backend/epson.*: Version 0.1.38
	  Removed changes regarding 12/14 bit support because of SANE
	  feature freeze for 1.0.4.
	  The following fixes are in the software compared to the version
	  prior to the feature freeze:
	  - refresh UI after a change in the scan mode setting (was not updated
	    when going from Binary to Gray or vice versa)
	  - Read values for "line distance" from the scanner instead of using
	    hardcoded values. This makes sure the backend always uses the correct
	    values regardless of firmware version.
	  - Fixed an "off-by-one" error in the color reordering routine that
	    caused weird artifacts in some instances.

2000-12-03  Karl Heinz Kremer <khk@khk.net>

	* backend/epson.c: Fixed off-by-one in color reordering

2000-12-02  Karl Heinz Kremer <khk@khk.net>

	* backend/epson.*: Read information about optical resolution
	  and line distance from scanner instead of hardcoded values.
          Add support for color depth > 8 bits per channel.
	  (can use 12, 14 and 16 bits per channel)
	  EPSON backend is now version 0.36

2000-11-30  Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>

	* changed backend/Makefile.in:
	  wrong old installation of libsane.la
	  $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) libsane.la $(libdir)/libsane.la
	  to this:
	  $(LIBTOOL) $(MINST) $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) libsane.la $(libdir)/libsane.la

2000-11-30  Henning Meier-Geinitz <hmg@gmx.de>

	* README.irix: Removed. Problem with libjpeg is solved.
	* TODO: Updated. Removed hpoj addition. Added snapscan link. Added
	  entry about net backend segfaulting if using net:localhost. Removed
	  artec O_SYNC problem. Removed Irix jpeg problem. Removed PTAL
	  addition.
	* doc/saned.man: Added paragraph about xinetd (from Matt Mozur
	  <matt.mozur@sourwood.net>). Removed links to backends, added
	  sane-"backendname" instead.

2000-11-30 Gerhard Jaeger <g.jaeger@earthling.net>

	* backend/plustek.c backend/plustek.desc backend/plustek-share.h

	  changed to version 0.38 - document update, minor bugfixes

2000-11-30  Chris Pinkham <cpinkham@infi.net>

	* artec.c: removed O_SYNC for posix compatibility, converted variable
	  to unsigned char to get rid of overflow error.  Changed version
	  to 0.5.15.

2000-11-30  Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>

	* changed sane-config.in again:
	  sane-config --libs has to print all libs
	  that the sane libs depend on.
	  This is not needed for shared libs and that
	  was the reason why I removed all libs but "-lsane".
	  But when linking against static sane libs we need
	  to know about all necessary libs.

*************************  snapshot-2000-11-28  *******************************

2000-11-28  Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>

	* added SANE_CHECK_JPEG to aclocal.m4 and configure.in

	* backend/mustek.* doc/sane-mustek.man: Update to Mustek backend
	  1.0-100. Added option fast-preview that tries to use the fastest
	  mode available for preview. This is supported for the 3-pass
	  scanners (was option "preview in gray") and some of the
	  ScanExpress scanners (6000 SP, 12000 SP Plus). Use #include
	  "../include/sane/...". Put option force-wait into mustek.conf
	  (disabled). Removed block mode for Paragon 6000 SP and 8000 SP.
	  Code cleanup. More debug output. Details in backend/mustek.CHANGES.

	* README.unixware2, README.unixware7: X-frontends are no longer
	  included. Removed comments and sourcecode of "rev" (not supported/used
	  in backends/Makefile anymore).
	* sane.lsm: X-frontends are no longer included. Used blanks instead of
	  tabs.
	* doc/scanimage.man: Removed links to backends, added generic link
	  instead.
	* doc/.cvsignore frontend/.cvsignore: X-frontends are no longer included.

2000-11-24  Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>

	* changed configure.in, configure frontend/Makefile.in
	  and backend/Makfile.in:
	  The shared libraries required by the backends are linked to
	  the backends (they have been linked to the frontends before).
	  Only libintl is linked to the frontend.
	* changed tool/sane-config.in, sane-config --libs => "-lsane",
	  all other libraries are linked to the backend libs now

2000-11-24  Jochen Eisinger <jochen.eisinger@gmx.net>

	* doc/scanimage.man doc/saned.man: updated description of password
	  file
	* sanei/sanei_auth.c frontend/saned.c frontend/scanimage.c: replaced

	  resource before calling the auth_callback function

2000-11-23  Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>

	* removed doc/xcam.man, doc/xscanimage.man and
	  updated doc/Makefile.in
	* changed configure.in and frontend/Makefile.in,
	  "-lintl" is not added to @LIBS@ any more, @INTLLIBS@
	  is defined instead now, this is necessary because "-lintl"
	  has to be added to the frontends and not to a backend and
	  sane-config --libs must not list it.
	* Added "Introduction" to README that tells about
	  the new X-frontend package
	* removed gimp and gtk parts from include/sane/config.h.in
	* removed gtk test from aclocal.m4

	  can actually handle the command.

2000-11-22  Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>

	* changed configure and configure.in, removed test for sting.h/strings.h
	  this is not needed because we use strchr instead (always in string.h)
	  of index (sometimes in string.h, sometimes in strings.h)

	* changed ltconfig for aix4*, repleace -o $objdir/$soname by -o $lib,
	  the shared libraries are handled correct now

	  Add example for devicename to --help message. Print warning
	  when a Unix devicename is used instead of a SANE device. Removed
	  compiler warning.
	* TODO: Removed entries about the fgets and include issues in
 	  umax. Removed entries about scanimage device name
 	  documentation. Added a point about xscanimage problems with the
 	  new GIMP API.
	* backend/mustek.* doc/sane-mustek.man: Update to Mustek backend
 	  1.0-98. Fixed segmentation fault in sane_init. Enabled double
 	  buffering. Clear inquiry buffer before using. Paragon 1200 SP now
 	  uses LD_BLOCK color correction. Removed LD MFS (wasn't used
 	  anymore). Fix sane_cancel for Paragon series II scanners. Fix
 	  halftone and grain for Paragon series II scanners. Backtracking is
 	  used automaticly by all scanners now. Some safety checks, code
 	  cleanup and more debug output. Details are in
	  backend/mustek.CHANGES.

2000-10-02  Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>

	* Updated umax backend to sane-umax-1.0.3-build-24
          take a look at backend/umax.CHANGES for details

2000-10-02  Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE>

        * sanei/sanei_constrain_value.c:
          if checked option is a range and the value is out of
	  range the value is now corrected to the minimum or maximum
	  allowed value and SANE_INFO_INEXACT is set.
	  The old version returned with an error. This caused problems
	  when the value was a little bit out of range because of rounding
          errors.

2000-09-30  Henning Meier-Geinitz <hmg@gmx.de>

	* backend/pnm.c: Fixed three segfaults due to buffer overruns:
 	  maximum length of filename wasn't checked; maximum length in
 	  sane_read wasn't always checked; ppm_type wasn't always set in
 	  getparmfromfile. Added some checks for safety and removal of
 	  warnings. Added DBG lines for every SANE API call.
	* TODO: Added entries about the backend:devicename issue. Add a
	  comment about fronends not to crash when length is -1. Added entry
 	  about sane-pie. Added point about fronends not checking if too
	  much data is delivered with sane_read.
	* PROJECTS: Added entry about sane-pie.

2000-09-24  Henning Meier-Geinitz <hmg@gmx.de>

	* backend/mustek.*: Update to Mustek backend 1.0-97. This is a
       	  development version and is only tested for three-pass scanners.
  	  Added support for Paragon 1200 SP Pro and ScanExpress A3 SP.
  	  Removed detection of " C04" and " C12" (don't seem to exist).
  	  Changed SCSI request scheme. Sane_read can read more than 4096
 	  bytes from pipe. Minimum dpi is 30 now. Fixed LD correction for
 	  Paragon 1200SP 1.06 and 1.11.  Read SCSI buffer into big block and
 	  do LD after that for Paragon one-pass scanners. New option
 	  "blocksize" in mustek.conf. Better detection of the scanner type
 	  (three-pass, Paragon I, ...). Fixed possible segmentation faults
 	  in Paragon 600 II N LD code, scsi_sense_wait_ready and
 	  sense_handler. Decreased maximum scan size of Paragon 800 II
 	  SP. For three-pass scanners: fixed stop_scan and speed code, scan
 	  area is in pixels now, added RGB brightness and contrast, use
 	  +-100% for brightness and contrast. Return SANE_STATUS_CANCELLED
 	  when scan was cancelled. Option "force backtracking" is enabled by
 	  default, "scan speed" is set to "fastest". Added option
 	  "force-warn" for mustek.conf.  Rewrote halftone mode. Better error
 	  handling and more debug output.
	* TODO: Clarified point about image data polarity. Moved point about
	  xscanimage not updating the progress bar for 3pass scanners to
	  frontend section. Removed umax entry in "frontends". Removed entry
	  about alpha channel (was added to LEVEL2 file).
	* LEVEL2: Add point about image data polarity.
	* frontend/scanimage.c: Removed some warnings.

2000-09-19  Gerhard Jaeger <g.jaeger@earthling.net>

	* backend/plustek.desc doc/sane-plustek.man:
	  updated information about supported scanners

2000-09-18  Henning Meier-Geinitz <hmg@gmx.de>

        * README: Removed comment about xscanimage error message. Added
          comment about find-scanner (may find scanners not supported by
          SANE).
	* tools/README: Added comment about find-scanner and some lines
 	  about sane-desc.el and sane-config.
	* tools/find-scanner.c: Added comment about scanners not supported
 	  by SANE. Removed some warnings.
	* TODO LEVEL2: Removed xscanimage error comment from TODO and moved
 	  ideas for SANE 2.0 from TODO to LEVEL2.

2000-09-18  Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@td.org.uit.no>

2000-09-17  Henning Meier-Geinitz <hmg@gmx.de>

	* frontend/xscanimage.c: Fixed gtk_main_quit bug (based on patch
 	  from <moloch@nikocity.de>). An error message was printed when
	  no sane device was found.

2000-09-17  Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@td.org.uit.no>

	* config.guess config.sub : Upgraded to latest version from
	<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/>.

	* doc/Makefile.in: New target 'install-docs' to install
	documentation in $(prefix)/doc/sane-<version>/.

	* japi/Makefile.in: Move javac and javah to make variables.

2000-09-16  Henning Meier-Geinitz <hmg@gmx.de>

	* TODO: Added xscanimage bug and information about versioning
 	  problems. Some other minor changes.

2000-09-15 Gerhard Jaeger <g.jaeger@earthling.net>

	* backend/plustek.c
	  added some code to support timing measurement in debug sessions

2000-09-10 Peter Kirchgessner <peter@kirchgessner.net>

        * backend/hp-handle.c
            Special handling of sane_cancel for OfficeJet K series

2000-09-09 Peter Kirchgessner <peter@kirchgessner.net>

        * backend/hp.h hp-scsi.h hp-scl.h hp-option.h hp-option.c
                  hp-device.h hp-scl.c hp.c hp-device.c hp-handle.c

          David Paschal (paschal@rcsis.com)
            Added support for flatbed HP OfficeJets.
          fix problem with cancel preview
          fix timing problem between killing child and writing to pipe
          change fprintf(stderr,...) to DBG
          change include <sane..> to "sane.." in hp.h
          change handling of options that have global effects.
            i.e. if option scanmode is received (has global effect),
            all options that "may change" are send to the scanner again.
            This fixes a problem that --resolution specified infront of
            --mode on command line of scanimage was ignored.
            NOTE: This change does not allow to specify --depth 12 infront of
            --mode color, because --depth is only enabled with --mode color.
          add depth greater 8 bits for mode grayscale
          add option for 8 bit output but 10/12 bit scanning

2000-08-24 Gerhard Jaeger <g.jaeger@earthling.net>

	* Updated plustek backend to support multiple devices and 12bit color-depth
	  affected files: backend/plustek.c backend/plustek.h
