Hey guys,

I have experimented with disabling average and altering the offset as 
Stef suggested. Disabling averaging seems to make things worse (dark and 
light lines where solid colour appears with AVEENB) and changing the 
offset seems to make no real difference so i'm not sure what is 
happening. Also I am unsure about what target code I should use for the 
shading compute_coefficients (assumed 0xdc00 as it seems popular).

At the project site (update ) there are a few images in a bzip file to 
show what I mean about toggling the AVEENB. It certainly seems better to 
have it on but this might just be misleading images.

The main issue now seems to be the different coloured vertical lines 
down the document. In addition I performed higer dpi scans (300, 600) 
and the whole image seems darker and the vertical lines are more 
prominent, i cant say im entirely sure whats causing them but im 
guessing its the shading function.

I have also attached my source on the project update if this will make 
it easier to advise on what im doing wrong. I will get around to tidying 
up my code soon so i can commit to git without it looking messy. Has 
there been anymore information about a next release date? I have been 
skimming the mailing list and not seen anything mentioned.

Thanks

Chris
