[sane-devel] Sane Release 1.1.0 ?

[Ilia Sotnikov]

Sorry for jumping into the discussion but why don't we use
sane_get_option_descriptor() / sane_control_option() on a new
predefined option, for example, "sane-version-features", which could
be read by a frontend and if, no error occured, set to required SANE
API level (aka. additional features available), specific bitmask etc.
Doing that we could avoid any changes in already used API. And when
such an option is set by a frontend, backends could start using
additional SANE_Status.

The implementation of such a solutions is rather simple.

Just my .2 cents.
