CHANGES for the SANE Mustek backend 2000-07-30 * Fixed bug concerning inquiry of 3-pass scanners. ASCII values > 127 weren't interpreted correctly (char instead of unsigned char). 2000-07-30 * Released backend version 1.0-95 2000-07-30 * Removed while {wait ()} loop. Used waitpid() instead. Maybe this cures some reported freezes. It's cleaner anyway. * Removed dead code. 2000-07-28 * Released backend version 1.0-94 2000-07-29 * Use #include "sane/..." instead of #include . 2000-07-27 * Released backend version 1.0-93 2000-07-27 * removed warnings 2000-07-26 * fixed possible segfault pointer info was not checked for 0 (found by Petter Reinholdtsen) * Updated comment about Paragon 600 II N linedistance correction in man page 2000-07-25 * Fixed color scanning for Paragon 600 II N firmware < 2.00. 2000-07-25 * Released backend version 1.0-92 2000-07-24 * Fixed ADF handling (output was mirrored in x direction). Gray and lineart seems to work now. Color and halftone modes look somewhat crazy. * Removed comment about lack of testing of ADFs in manpage. They are tested to work now with most scanner at least basically. * removed braindead test for Pro series concerning gamma table length (discovered by Jan-Erik Karlsson). 2000-07-22 * Fixed margin positions of MFS 6000CX and removed warning. * Warning is printed with DBG level 0 again. 2000-07-18 * Released backend version 1.0-91 2000-07-18 * Removed again MUSTEK_FLAG_LD_NONE for MFS-08000SP. Maybe the automatical detection works now. 2000-07-15 * Released backend version 1.0-90 2000-07-15 * Added MUSTEK_FLAG_LD_NONE for MFS-08000SP and removed warning for this scanner. Added TA support. First report for this device from Roland Koebler. * Changed LD correction system. Some scanners (e.g. the 800 II SP) seem to need different LD correction depending on resolution. Now with LD_NORMAL max_value is checked and correction is only done if it is != 0. Hope this works for all scanners. * Moved the comment after the example port entry in mustek.conf to the next line. Now this line should work. * Updated manpage concerning PP scanners and 600 II N. 2000-06-30 * Released backend version 1.0-89 2000-06-30 * Fixed bug in do_stop. The scan slider didn't return after the scan in some situations. 2000-06-28 * Released backend version 1.0-88 2000-06-28 * Changed again linedistance handling for the Paragon 1200SP. This time version 1.07 seems to need a special treetment. Even with normal linedistance correction the image is corrupted at buffer boundaries in color mode. Maybe a firmware bug? Thanks to Michael Prechtl for all his tests. 2000-06-25 * added missing newline to mustek.conf 2000-06-25 * Released backend version 1.0-87 2000-06-25 * updated manpage concerning parport and USB scanners * added example for 600 II N to mustek.conf 2000-06-22 * fixed debug output bug in fix_linedistance_se (found by Jan-Erik Karlsson) 2000-06-21 * fixed dependancy of mustek.h on sane-backends.h 2000-06-19 * Fixed gamma correction in lineart mode for Paragon 1200 A3 2000-06-18 * Released backend version 1.0-86 2000-06-18 * added enlarging x resolution for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro * Paragon 1200 A3 PRO is fully functional now. Thanks to Heinrich Falk, who borrowed me this device. 2000-06-17 * added calibration for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro (only dummy, doesn't work yet) * adjusted options for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro * added lineart support for Paragon 1200 A4 Pro * removed support for color lineart and color halftone modes * added color support for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro * added scsi_wait_sense, this fixed 1200 A3 Pro hangs * fixed gamma correction for 1200 A3 Pro. At the moment only 8 bit and 24 bit per pixel are supported (12/36 are possible in hardware) 2000-06-16 * addded debugging output in sane_control_option * added gamma correction for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro (doesn't work correctly yet) 2000-06-15 * removed old config file reading system. 2000-06-14 * Preliminary support for the Mustek Paragon 1200 A3 Pro. Only grayscale mode works so far. Missing: Gamma correction and calibration. The scanner is locked after each scan. 2000-06-12 * Fixed bug in sane_control_option. option was not checked for negative values. Thanks to Jochen Eisinger. * Code cleanup and reorganization for inclusion of the Paragon 1200 A3 Pro. 2000-06-07 * Fixed bug in sane_close where the chain of handles got destroyed by closing the first device. This bug is in the backend since 3 1/2 years. Thanks to Jochen Eisinger for spotting this. 2000-06-05 * Fixed some debug messages in fix_linedistance_se 2000-06-04 * released backend version 1.0-85 2000-06-04 * changed (again) Paragon 12000 SP linedistance handling, now 1.02 uses normal LD corrections, all other use none. We'll see, if this works. Thanks to Reinhard Günzel who helped to debug this. * fixed some long lines (>80 chars) 2000-06-03 * released backend version 1.0-84 2000-06-03 * changed line-distance handling, removed ld.max_value magic (didn't work) * fixed (maybe) Paragon 12000 SP color stripes problems (v 1.11 and others) * simpler linedistance debug output, only for 1-pass Paragon scanners 2000-06-02 * removed code in dev_read_start which was never called (suggestion from Jan-Erik Karlsson) 2000-05-21 * added double buffering (trying to copy the scsi buffer to the frontend while getting a new one). This probably won't work on all platforms and with all SCSI host adapters but in this case performance shouldn't be worse than before. 2000-05-21 * released backend version 1.0-83 2000-05-21 * The Mustek Paragon 1200 A3 PRO is now detected. This is only a test release. Be carefull and read the PROBLEMS file if you want to try this scanner. 2000-05-19 * released backend version 1.0-82 2000-05-18 * set debug level for output of unknown Mustek scanner to 0 (suggestion from Thorben Kundinger) 2000-05-12 * fixed bug in distinguishing firmware formats * added shrinked image fix to ScanExpress 12000SP models <= v2.0 2000-05-08 * fixed remaining sane_cancel problems (in non_blocking mode) * fixed color stripes and segmentation fault for Paragon MFS-12000SP 1.00 (at least for me) * added more debug output to inquiry * added possibility to distinguish old and new firmware formats * added one more debug level (5) * added output of SANE version 2000-05-07 * released backend version 1.0-81 2000-05-06 * added transparency adapter support for the Paragon 600 II CD, 600S, 800 II SP, 600 II N, ScannExpress 6000SP and 12000SP * removed "color lineart" and "color halftone" for all scanners. These modes didn't work for any of my scanners. * added more debug output for ADF and TA * fixed bug when ADF is out of documents * Scan source option is only available if TA or ADF is present. For SE and N models TA is always available because it can't be detected by hardware * removed "backtrack", "speed" and "grain" from 600 II N options, the scanner doesn't support them * updated mustek.desc and mustek.man 2000-05-02 * Reduced scan area for the Paragon MFC-600S because of ugly noises at the end of the scan area 2000-04-29 * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for ScanExpress 6000SP; added MUSTEK_FLAG_ENLARGE_X for this scanner * Added Warning for scanners that are not (fully) tested 2000-04-26 * changed sane_init to use sanei_config_read () and sanei_config_get_string () 2000-04-24 * released backend version 1.0-80 2000-04-23 * fixed lineart and color scanning >600 dpi for the SE 12000SP * added variable debug_level to be faster without debugging in attach () * fixed bug in mustek.conf handling; positional options were applied to the first device only * added an option to mustek.conf: "buffersize". This overwrites the default scan buffer sizes. The unit is kilobytes. * adjusted mustek.conf to more reasonable defaults * update manpage and mustek.desc to reflect the changes 2000-04-22 * fixed greyscale scanning >600 dpi for the SE 12000SP 2000-04-21 * added more debug output to sane_get_parameters 2000-04-20 * Output of scanning time now works with scanimage, too. * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon MFS-6000CX * Added transparency adapter support for the Paragon MFS-6000CX and MFS-12000SP 2000-04-19 * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon MFS-12000SP 2000-04-17 * added support for the sanei_scsi_open_extended method with variable buffersizes * removed support for SCSI queue. Couldn't find improvements for any scanner 2000-04-16 * removed "color lineart" and "color halftone" for single pass scanners. These modes didn't work for any of my scanners. * fixed problems in color mode for the MFS-8000SP (gamma table is now uploaded even if not selected) * Output "cover open" only for ScanExpress scanners (Paragon scanners don't have a cover sensor) * Added transparency adapter support for the Paragon MFS-6000SP and MFS-12000CX * Added output of transfer speed (kb/s) * maximum allocated memory for read request can be set by a #define * buffer size can be set on a per scanner basis * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon 800 II SP * Added quotation marks to inquiry output 2000-04-15 * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon 8000SP, ScanExpress 12000SP * Fixed scan area settings (TL-X and TL-Y) for transparency adapter (TA) * Added TA support for Paragon 8000SP 2000-04-13 * Added more debug output in sane_read and some other functions * removed warnings 2000-04-12 * Added more debug output concerning buffer handling 2000-04-10 * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon 12000CX, 6000SP, 600 II CD, 600 II N 2000-04-09 * released backend version 1.0-79 2000-04-08 * added output of scanning time (debuglevel 2 and higher) * removed old code from sane_cancel 2000-04-07 * fixed line-distance correction for the 600 II N * rewrite of the 600 II N code * documentation update for the 600 II N 2000-04-06 * Rewrite of resolution encoding for 3-pass scanners * added more comments * some spelling errors corrected 2000-04-03 * output backend and version information * fixed resolution encoding for MFS12000cx * Changed version system to be compatible to the SANE standard (major, minor, build); 0.78 --> 1.0-78 2000-04-02 * released backend version 0.78 * added MUSTEK_FLAG_DOUBLE_RES for the MFS-12000CX 3-pass scanner, resolutions > 600 dpi should work now 2000-04-01 * reduced scan area for Paragon 800 S / II SP 2000-03-29 * released backend version 0.77 * inquiry is printed in full text at debug level 4 * more debug level tweaking * man page update * model name update 2000-03-25 * corrected some spelling errors 2000-03-24 * reduced scanarea for the MSF-6000SP * restructured scanner recognition 2000-03-18 * released backend version 0.76 2000-03-17 * removed some compiler warnings * changed the sane.model names (e.g. ScanExpress 12000SP instead of C06IDW...) * added SCSI information output to inquiry * adjusted debug levels and debug output 2000-03-15 * fixed typo in man page 2000-03-12 * released backend version 0.75 * man page update * mustek.desc update * test for option < 0 in sane_get_option_descriptor (thanks to Oliver Rauch) * added do_stop in sane_cancel (don't wait for next read that will possibly never happen) * fixed firmware version identification for newer ScanExpress models (patch from Marco G. Salvagno) * probably fixed linedistance correction at high resolutions for MFS-1200SP firmware 1.00 and possibly others (patch from Andreas Beck) * added check for ADF ready in sane_start (patch from Joerg Anders) * Bug fix in the STORE makros (patch from Norbert Mueller) 2000-03-06 * created mustek.CHANGES file * released backend version 0.74 * added linedistance correction for the 600 II N + documentation updates * added detection of newer ScanExpress models ("XC06" instead og " C06") * bugfix for 600 II N waiting 60 s before cancelling Henning Meier-Geinitz
