Hi,

We are now in backend freeze, that means no new backends will be
accepted until the release of sane-backends 1.0.12.

Further timetable:
2003-05-04 feature freeze
2003-05-18 code freeze
2003-05-25 release

Feature freeze means that only bug fixes and documentation updates are
allowed. After code freeze only fixes of grave bugs that render a
backend completely unusable or break compilation and documentation
updates are accepted.

I'll append the current NEWS entry, please check if it's ok.

Bye,
  Henning
