Sane-backends is now in feature freeze. Bugs and documentation may still be fixed, but major improvements should be avoided. If you have access to a scanner or a platform that is even slightly uncommon, please try to test a current sane-backends git snapshot. Let us know if you find any regressions or other problems, so that we can try to fix them prior to release.
