[sane-announce] SANE Backends 1.0.32 released!

Sun Feb 14 12:20:12 GMT 2021

Hi all,

Roughly six months after sane-backends-1.0.31, I'm happy to announce
that sane-backends-1.0.32 has been released.  You can find the latest
source tarballs and checksums on the [releases page][1] in the Other
section of the Assets.

 [1]: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/releases

The page also mentions several "Source code" links in the Assets from
which you can download the git repository corresponding to the release.
Please note that these archives do *not* include generated files such as
the configure script, Makefile.in files and more.

A nicely formatted version of the release notes can be found at the same
location but, for your convenience, the "raw" Markdown has been included
below.

### Documentation

- updates our copy of the GPL with the FSF's current postal address.
  This changes references to the Library GPL (LGPL-2.0) into refs to
  the Lesser GPL (LGPL-2.1) but does *not* affect the licensing of our
  backends (#320).
- source code now points to the Free Software Foundation's website for
  copies of the GPL and LGPL (#320)
- updates translations for British English and Ukrainian
- adds a pointer to our Ubuntu PPA for pre-built binaries
- adds SCSI IDs for the EPSON Perfection 1640SU (!509)
- fixes a boat-load of spelling mistakes (!516, thanks @marschap)
- updates description files for `scangearmp2` and `utsushi` external
  backends

### Build

- removes `sane` subdirectory from the lock directory to fix issues
  when the lock directory is on `tmpfs` (#363)
- adds support for builds using GitLab "source" tarballs (#248)
- fixes static link scenarios (#124)
- fixes `python` invocations to use the detected program (!525)
- disables `genesys` testsuite when that backend is not built (#354)
- suppresses warnings about obsolete autoconf macros (#122)
- fixes availability of sane-backends.pot file inputs (#344)
- fixes `configure.ac` for use with `autoconf-2.70` (#409)
- removes CVS keywords from the source to ease use by downstreams that
  still use CVS (!547)

### Miscellaneous

- `udev` rules now trigger on all events other than `remove` (!541).
  This aims to address a kernel API change introduced in 4.14.  The
  new behaviour may slow down `udev`'s processing of kernel events
  when still using our plain `udev` or `udev+acl` rules, even though
  these have been optimized slightly (#341).  If that bothers you, now
  is a good time to switch to our `udev+hwdb` rules in combination
  with the `hwdb` database if you have not done so already.

In case you encounter any issues with this release, please contact the
[sane-devel mailing list][2] or [submit an issue][3].
