[sane-devel] gscan2pdf 0.9.28 released

[Jeffrey Ratcliffe]

I have released gscan2pdf v0.9.28, A GUI to produce a multipage PDF or
DjVu from a scan.

The full changelog is below, but the main improvement is that
gscan2pdf can now use the SANE API directly, rather than using
scanimage or scanadf (which are still supported). The new interface,
libsane-perl (selected via Preferences/Frontend), allows gscan2pdf to
support any option offered by the SANE backend.

Source code, RPM and deb packages are available at
http://gscan2pdf.sourceforge.net/
