[ANN] Viceo 0.6 driver release for SANE 1.0.9
From: Steven Ellis ####@####.#### Date: 29 Oct 2002 22:00:02 -0000 Message-Id: <20021029215539.88089.qmail@web80309.mail.yahoo.com> This driver supports the E3 and E4 family of chips which covers a variety of USB scanners from Genius, Primax, and IBM. Details are on the website below http://viceo.orcon.net.nz NOTE the change of website as the ISP has locked me out of the old website so I can't update the old pages. --- Finally had time to look at the issues with the 0.5 codebase and hope to have fixed most of the compile problems. This release also includes a couple of notible changes 1. Updated to work against sane-backends-1.0.9 2. Updates dll.conf file so viceo will be checked by sanimage -L 3. Now includes intial cut at manual page and desc file. 4. SANE_DEBUG_VICEO now works correctly. I broke a lot of things with version 0.5 when I switched to using SANE debugging and all these issues should now be fixed. STILL TO DO 1. Migrate to libusb so I can avoid the extra kernek scanner patch. 2. Memory leaks. There are still a couple. 3. Extra scanners. Need to expand the supported list. 4. Tidy codebase - So it integrates better with SANE. THE GOOD POINTS It works. Well it mostly works. It works a hell of a lot better than the 0.5 release. I now have a reasonably stable code base to work on, plus the changes are backed up. Enjoy Steve ===== -- If you listen very carefully you can sometimes hear the dolphins sing ####@####.#### __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
