[sane-devel] [ANNOUNCE] New release of gt68xx backend

[Henning Meier-Geinitz]

Hi everyone,

I've just updated the gt68xx backend in CVS to version 1.0-61. The new
version has quite a lot of changes so please test it if you own a
scanner supported by this backend.

Most important changes:
- Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB is supported better now
  Warm-up and calibrationm should work now, however, some vertical stripes are
  still present
- several minor fixes for other scanners
- calibration in general avoids loops so it should be faster in some
  situations
- CIS calibration should be better in avoiding stripes now. That work is
  not finished, however.
- backtracking should occur less often
- it's possible to select the color that's used to scan in
  gray/lineart mode now.

Unfortunately there are still some bugs. See the TODO list:
