Hi,

Bugfixes:
-Fixed possible race condition in QOcrProgress class
-Replaced KPrinter with QPrinter, when linked with KDE libs, because
 KPrinter caused trouble and crashes all the time without an obvious reason.
-Replaced QLabel with QLineEdit in QTextEditorSetup, because QLabel could
 become bigger than the screen size when a long fontname was displayed.
-Ensure, that device-selection dialog isn't placed outside desktop
-Fixed "crash on exit", when compiled with Qt3; this was caused by the 
back-ported QProcess class..
-Wrong preview resolution, when resolution option was of type SANE_WORD_LIST
 and values were arranged in decreasing order. This caused preview scans with 
the highest resolution.
-Device name is no longer used to generate a name to save the device 
settings. This caused problems with hotpluggin.
-When starting (directly) with the previously selected device without querying
 the available devices, the  device settings weren't loaded correctly.

New features:
-Added splash screen
-Better error handling/reporting in "Multiscan-mode"
-Improvements in automatic filename generation: It's possible now to
 -specify the filecounter increment
 -prepend leading zeros to the filecounter
 -fill gaps between existing files
-Easier navigation in "image browser": Now supports bookmarks and navigation 
buttons (home ,up ,back and forward)
-Do no longer freeze "image browser" while creating contents.
-Added size warning. When the scansize exceeds a specified value, the image 
information in the scan dialog is displayed with a red background to warn the 
user that (s)he's going to scan a huge image.
-Added transparency filter.
-Optional limit for the preview resolution.

Please report problems.

Thanks,
Michael
