We are going to delay the release of sane-backends 1.0.23 by another week. This will give some more time for fixing recently discovered bugs.
Sane-backends is still 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. Timetable: Jul 29, 2012: Feature freeze (only bugs + documentation updates) Aug 12, 2012: Code freeze (only horrible bugs + documentation updates) Aug 19, 2012: Release allan -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin"
