<br>
I'm happy to announce sane-backends-1.1.1. You can find the latest <br>
source tarballs here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/releases" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/releases</a>.<br>
<br>
The page also mentions several "Source code" links in the Assets from<br>
which you can download the git repository corresponding to the release.<br>
Please note that these archives do not include generated files such as<br>
the configure script, Makefile.in files and more.<br>
<br>
A nicely formatted version of the release notes is available there too.<br>
<br>
One change that is more interesting to package maintainers is that with <br>
this release the version numbering scheme has been changed and thus <br>
every new feature release will increment the second version number (i.e. <br>
1.2.0, 1.3.0, etc.) and the third number (i.e. 1.1.2, 1.1.3, etc.) will <br>
be left for bugfix releases. Previously feature releases used the third <br>
version number (i.e. 1.0.30, 1.0.31, etc.) and real bugfix releases were <br>
not possible. With this possibility present more frequent bugfix <br>
releases can be expected.<br>
<br>
There has been no 1.1.0 release. It was unpublished due to version <br>
numbering bug in tests that only showed itself after the release was made.<br>
<br>
In case you encounter any issues with this release, please contact the<br>
sane-devel mailing list or submit an issue:<br>

The following is the release notes in the "raw" markdown format. A <br>
