Version 991108: * Negative mask removal. This is a major change. Negatives get scanned *a lot* better now, meaning that you get good-looking colors. * Select native scanning resolutions, contributed by Stefan Scherer . * Support for Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), contributed by Jonathan Adams . * Corrected some namings of variables which caused problems when using the backend with 'xsane' or with the command-line 'scanimage'. I have not tested it myself with 'xsane' yet. * For your information, and because some users had problems with the previous versions and some kernels, I use kernel 2.2.12 and have SCSI support as modules (the modules which I have to load before using the scanner are scsi_mod, aha152x and sg). =========================================================================== Version 990201: * New code for the transparency unit by Markus Mertinat. * "Manual focus" was there, but I had not noticed that it didn't really work. Now it does. * Changed the names of some options, because xscanimage worked ok, but not scanimage. * When using high resolutions, "Auto Exposure" for slides is now much faster because it sets the resolution down first. * I have included a new directory containing scripts I find useful.
