+---- FEATURE FREEZE FOR SANE 1.0.16 ---
+
+2005-07-17  Henning Meier-Geinitz <henning@meier-geinitz.de>
+
+	* Makefile.in backend/Makefile.in tools/Makefile.in: Make sure
+	  that all the necessary files will be in the distribution .tar.gz
+	  file.

+2005-07-15  Henning Meier-Geinitz <henning@meier-geinitz.de>
+
+	* backend/sp15c.c: Better 4->8 bit depth expansion algorithm (from
+	  Mattias Ellert <mattias.ellert@tsl.uu.se>).

+	  sanei/sanei_init_debug.c sanei/sanei_pio.c sanei/sanei_thread.c
+	  sanei/sanei_usb.c: Changes to support SANE on ZETA. Not all
+	  patches have been applied yet, but it's a start. The backends
+	  are not installed as shared libs but as add-ons, which are shared libs
+	  but in a specific folder in [/system|~]/config/add-ons/ named SANE/.
+	  The install target has been changed to account for this,
+	  Some files don't exist in BeOS/ZETA (ipc.h, ...).
+	  Backend function names get a prefix, I suppose to avoid namespace clashes.
+	  Though we do have a libdl to implement dl_open, the native way is prefered.
+	  Added a --with-docdir= configure arg.
+	  BeOS has a broken get[name|addr]info() from bind. This is fixed in ZETA R1.
+	  libtool needs -no-undefined. Various VPATH fixes.
+	  Check for <be/drivers/USB_scanner.h>, but not used yet.
+	  No S_IFSOCK (sockets are fds to /dev/net/api). Stub pio code, untested.
+	  Patch from Fran�is Revol <revol@free.fr>.

+	  some modes, many many new devices, two different duplex modes
+	  are supported, vast speedup of multi page batch scans, buttons as well
+	  a 7-segment LED readout and some quirks for old scanners not filling
+	  all fields
