Sane-backends is in code freeze. Bad 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.
I will commit the last makefile patch from stef/Chris in a few hours. I have decided not to commit the recent cannon backend patches this close to release. That scanner is not common enough to be worth the risk. 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"
