why hasn't there been a release in a long time ? I note that distributions including debian are shipping a version of sane-backends that is really dated. They are missing out on enabling working devices because of this (changes are long since committed to git ). I know this is not the fault of

I was going to wait a little closer to 1 year anniversary of last release before bringing it up but thats starting to creep up on us. I was also hoping we can get one out in time for Fedora 13 but their freeze is coming up pretty quick. I'll offer to help out as much as possible with the release.
