Hi Povilas,

I just had a look at git snapshots and found out that you're still providing "old" 1.0.32 tar archives on http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/, and in gitlab 1.1.1 release branch/tag has not been merged to master.

For the Ubuntu ppa I'd like to get git snapshots from version 1.1.1.

Many thanks for your great work.

Cheers,
Rolf

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce sane-backends-1.1.1. You can find the latest source tarballs here:

https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/releases.

The page also mentions several "Source code" links in the Assets 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 is available there too.

One change that is more interesting to package maintainers is that with this release the version numbering scheme has been changed and thus every new feature release will increment the second version number (i.e. 1.2.0, 1.3.0, etc.) and the third number (i.e. 1.1.2, 1.1.3, etc.) will be left for bugfix releases. Previously feature releases used the third version number (i.e. 1.0.30, 1.0.31, etc.) and real bugfix releases were not possible. With this possibility present more frequent bugfix releases can be expected.

There has been no 1.1.0 release. It was unpublished due to version numbering bug in tests that only showed itself after the release was made.

In case you encounter any issues with this release, please contact the
sane-devel mailing list or submit an issue:
