[sane-devel] why hasn't there been a release in a long time ?

[m. allan noah]

I personally will take the great measure of responsibility for this
problem. My time has become very limited since I took over the job of
making releases. I have also allowed the confusion around a new API
prevent us from moving forward with maintenance releases, even though
that is an unrelated issue.

If someone else wants to step up and schedule/make the release, I'd be
happy for the help. Otherwise, let me look at a calendar, and come up
with a plan. Thanks for the kick in the pants :)
