+	* japi/Makefile.am: Add back -version-number to java library but
+	also add V_REV.
+	* backend/Makefile.am: Use variables to add libraries to backends

+
+2009-02-19 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* configure.in, Makefile.am, backend/Makefile.am: Have
+	configure define configdir so all makefiles can use
+	it (fixes bug introduce with sanei converted to automake).
+	Enable running testsuite during distcheck.
+	* japa/Makefile.am: Convert japi to automake.
+

+	* configure.in, tools/Makefile.am: convert tools to automake.
+	Add tools/openbsd to distribution package.
+	* include/Makefile.am: include files should have been installed
+	under sane/ directory when converted to automake.
+	* doc/Makefile.am: Cleanup. Use automake's built in support to
+	install docs within subdirectories.
+	* Makefile.am, testsuite: Convert testsuite to automake.  Waiting
+	for test backend bugfix before enabling this to run during "distcheck".
+
+2009-02-18 Julien Blache <jb@jblache.org>
+	* configure.in, configure: raise avahi-client dependency to
+	0.6.24, following a needed bugfix in this release.
+	* backend/net.c: do not lock the Avahi thread before stopping
+	it. It looks like it's no longer necessary to do so.
+	* frontend/saned.c: fix handling of Avahi server restart so it
+	actually works.
+
+2009-02-14 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* configure.in, doc/Makefile.am, frontend/Makefile.am,
+	include/Makefile.am, sanei/Makefile.am, tools/Makefile.am:
+	convert frontend, include, and sanei directories to use
+	automake.  Only reference libsanei.la now. Use am_conditional
+	to compile sanei_jpeg.lo.  distcheck now runs sanei/wire_test.
+
+2009-02-13 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* Makefile.am, configure.in, doc/Makefile.am: Convert
+	doc/Makefile to use automake. Main difference is that
+	no longer installs man pages for backends that are not
+	compiled.  Moved install ownership of $top_srcdir docs
+	to $top_srcdir's Makefile.
+
+2009-02-06 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* configure.in, backend/Makefile.am: Add back change to
+	use -version-number even though its known not to work on
+	some platforms (OS/2). -version-info results in a variety of
+	version numbers in soname based on platform and would not
+	be easily mappable back to values currently return by
+	each backend's sane_init().  ltmain.sh will need to be
+	hand patched for any known issues.
+
+2009-02-08  Pierre Willenbrock <pierre@pirsoft.dnsalias.org>
+	* backend/genesys_gl841.c: Remove "init device" usb request.
+	* backend/genesys_gl841.c, backend/genesys_devices.c,
+	backend/genesys_low.h: Add support for uncalibrated scans in all
+	modes for Visioneer Strobe XP300. Front- and backside are
+	side-by-side, backside mirrored horizontally.
+	* doc/descriptions/genesys.desc: Added XP300 to the genesys
+	desc file.
+
+2009-02-06 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* configure.in, backend/Makefile.am: Add back in support for
+	optionally linking in sanei_jpeg.lo under backend directory;
+	but using configure and not with GNU make extensions.
+	Move back to libtool's -version-info instead of -version-number
+	because the later has known bugs on platforms such as OS/2.
+
+2009-02-04 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* configure.in, acinclude.ac: Cleanup autoconf 2.63 warnings.
+	add cv_ prefix to cached variable.  Remove AC_ARG_PROGRAM as
+	automake already invokes this. When prefered AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
+	exists, use that instead of AC_GNU_SOURCE/AC_AIX/AC_MINUX.
+	Cleanup socket detection more by creating only a single
+	SOCKET_LIBS that contains list of all optional libraries
+	for any socket related funciton.  Make sure that checks
+	for socket related functions use SOCKET_LIBS when searching.
+	Check for getopt_long() and getopt.h.  Make OS/2 use
+	-no-undefined (same as windows).
+	* ltmain.sh, m4/libtool.m4: Upgrade to libtool 1.5.26.
+	* Makefile.am: Cleanups to match configure updates.
+	* frontend/scanimage.c, include/Makefile.in, lib/getopt.c
+	lib/getopt1.c, toosl/sane-desc.c, include/lgetopt.h:
+	Rename internal getopt.h to lgetopt.h to allow using
+	external getopt.h when it exists.  This allows to go
+	back to optionally compiling getopt()/getopt_long() and its
+	prototypes and not have conflicts with external headers/symbols.
+
+2009-02-04  Nicolas Martin <nicols-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* doc/sane-pixma.man doc/descriptions/pixma.desc:
+	Added ImageClass MF4120 support in pixma backend docs.
+
+2009-02-03 Julien Blache <jb@jblache.org>
+	* tools/sane-desc.c: filter out unsupported/unknown models from
+	output (udev/hal).
+
+2009-02-02  Nicolas Martin <nicols-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* backend/pixma_common.c backend/pixma_common.h /backend/pixma_imageclass.c
+	backend/pixma_mp150.c backend/pixma_mp730.c backend/pixma_mp750.c:
+	Change ALIGN macro name to ALIGN_SUP for PPC compatibility.
+	Some cosmetic changes to source code alignment.
+
+2009-02-01 Alex Belkin <abc@telekom.ru>
+	* backend/xerox_mfp.c backend/xerox_mfp.h:
+	Proper handling of parameters (to fix xsane crash).
+	* backend/xerox_mfp.conf doc/descriptions/xerox_mfp.desc:
+	Added Dell MFP 1815dn.
+
+2009-02-01 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* aclocalm4: fix prototype of internal strcasestr and usleep.
+	* configure.in: Group all USB logic together and all SCSI
+	logic together to aid understanding of whats no longer
+	valid.  Allow sharing enable/disable options between all
+	USB drivers on multiple platforms.  Combined CAM_LIBS and
+	SCSI_LIBS since they are mutually exclusive.
+	Skip some USB/SCSI checks when previous tests show it will always fail.
+	* backend/Makefile.am, tools/Makefile.in: Combine CAM_LIBS and
+	SCSI_LIBS. Add missing SOCKET_LIBS to epson2.  Add USB_LIB.
+	* saned.c: Add limits.h for PATH_MAX.
+
+2009-02-01  Mattias Ellert <mattias.ellert@fysast.uu.se>
+	* acinclude.m4, backend/Makefile.am: Restore the removed
+	DYNAMIC_FLAG configuration.
+	* acinclude.m4, sanei/sanei_jpeg.c: Don't compile sanei_jpeg
+	if libjpeg is unavailable.
+	* backend/canon_dr.c, backend/hs2p-scsi.c, backend/xerox_mfp.c:
+	format fixes.
+	* backend/hs2p.c: fix missing return.
+	* backend/canon630u-common.c: avoid redefinition warning.
+
+2009-01-31 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* backend/Makefil.am: Add missing math library to coolscan2
+	and coolscan3.
+	* acinclude.m4, configure.in: Define JPEG objects based on
+	existence of JPEG library and not on the dc* backends alone
+	since more backends then that use JPEG support.
+
+2009-01-30 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* frontend/saned.c: Replace usage of getgrouplist() with
+	getgrent() and friends.  getgrouplist is not posix and not
+	on several platforms including cygwin.
+	* acinclude.m4, configure.in:  Put all libraries into their
+	own *_LIB variables instead of $LIB so that we do not have to
+	link in the world to all executables. Modified SANE_CHECK_U_TYPES
+	to be a little more portable to platforms that use #define
+	for u_* types. Create SANE_CHECK_BACKENDS macro so that
+	PRELOADABLE_BACKENDS can also be valided.  Auto-populated
+	PRELAODABLE_BACKENDS when detect dlopen() won't work.
+	Various protability cleanups.
+	* backend/dll.c: Make dll-preload.c a .h since its an include and
+	not compilable byitself.
+	* frontend/Makefile.in, frontend/scanimage.c, include/laaloca.h,
+	lib/Makefile.am, lib/alloca.c, strcasestr.c, tools/Makefile.in,
+	tools/sane-desc.c: Convert lib/ to automake.  Create a liblib.la
+	for everyone to use and a libfelib.la for only frontend programs.
+	Make all internal programs be prefixed with sanei_ as not to conflict
+	with other programs libsane is linked in with that will also most
+	likely create similar internal utils on problem platforms.
+	* include/getopt.h, lib/getopt.c, lib/getopt1.c: Always compile
+	and link in getopt_long() but prefix it with sanei_.  Its
+	easier to always use internal version then try to figure out what
+	platforms support getopt_long() and what header files to use.
+	* backend/Makefile.am: Convert backend makefile to automake.
+	Initial version that is feature parity with original but uses
+	specific rules instead of wildcards and only links in libraries/objs
+	really required. Room for more cleanup of whats linked in once
+	all makefiles have been converted to automake.
+
+2009-01-29 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* backend/epson2.c backend/pixma_bjnp.c, include/sane/sanei_backend.h,
+	sanei/sanei_tcp.c, sanie/sanei_udp.c: Improve portablity by
+	removing usage of MSG_WAITALL since not all platforms support
+	that (cygwin).  Default is to be blocking anyways.  Changed
+	usage of MSG_NOTWAIT to use fcntl() function as needed as well.
+	* configure.in, lib/Makefile.in, lib/strcasestr.c: Add internal
+	strcasestr() for platforms missing it (cygwin).
+	* pixma_common.c: Make source match header prototype for picky
+	compilers (cygwin).
+	* backend/umax_pp_mid.c: Allow BACKEND_NAME to be filename
+	yet debug to be SANE_DEBUG_UMAX_PP to match man page.
+
+2009-01-28 Julien Blache <jb@jblache.org>
+	* doc/descriptions/epson.desc: added :scsi data for the GT-7000
+	and Perfection1200S. Patch from Dieter Jurzitza.
+
+2009-01-27 Louis Lagendijk  <llagendijk-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* backend/pixma_bjnp.c: fixed bug that caused scanner discovery to
+	fail when it encountered a point to point link (check data returned
+	by getifaddrs()
+
+2009-01-26 Chris Bagwell <cbagwell-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>
+	* configure.in: Add AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to disable regenerating
+	configure files.  This was behavior of Makefiles before automake
+	and works around various timestamp issues.
+
+2009-01-25  Pierre Willenbrock <pierre@pirsoft.dnsalias.org>
+	* backend/genesys_gl841.c: Change status code for locked head to
+	SANE_STATUS_HW_LOCKED

+	backend/umax_pp.c, backend/umax_pp_low.c, backend/umax_pp_mid.c,
+	doc/Makefile.in, doc/sane-epson.man, doc/sane-epson2.man:
+	Updated backends with EXTRA_* files to allow Makefile's
+	to always pass in BACKEND_NAME to be fixed to backend name
+	instead of filename; while still making sure that
+	SANE_DEBUG_${BACKEND}* exist as documented in man pages.
+	Add references to epson and epson2 man pages about
+	SANE_DEBUG_EPSONx_SCSI and _NET options.
+	Created an epson2 man page; based mostly on epson page.
+	* backend/stubs.c: Currently, compiling stubs.c requires its
+	own compile rule simply to pass in -DSTUBS.  Since its always
+	required, just define it in stubs.c
+
+2009-01-22  Stéphane Voltz <stef.dev@free.fr>
+	* doc/Makefile.in doc/descriptions/genesys.desc : added the rts8891

+
+2009-01-16  Pierre Willenbrock <pierre@pirsoft.dnsalias.org>
+	* backend/genesys.c, backend/genesys.h, backend/genesys_devices.c,

+
+2008-04-27  m. allan noah <kitno455 a t gmail d o t com>
+	* sanei/sanei_usb.c: allow sanei_usb_init() to run once per second
+	* backend/fujitsu.c: backend v1.0.60, relocate call to sanei_usb_init(),
+	  free sane_devArray before calloc'ing a new one
+
+2008-04-22  m. allan noah <kitno455 a t gmail d o t com>
+	* backend/fujitsu.c, backend/fujitsu.conf.in: backend v1.0.59,

+	Fixes also a bug for ADF and ADF Duplex scan source selection.

+	CCD sensor support (yet in color only), and more generally,
+	support for other CCD sensor PIXMA: MP800, MP810, MP830, MP960,
+	but yet untested, which produce shifted color planes
+	scanned images. Current trim based on sample images provided
+	in bug reports and other web pages, but might require some

+	Also fixed a bug for MP220 at 1200 dpi, MP220 is now reported
+	to work fine.
+
+2008-04-13  Julien Blache <jb@jblache.org>
+	* frontend/saned.c: fix typo.
