[sane-devel] WiaSane - Windows scanner driver using sane-net

[Marc Hoersken]

Hello everyone,

I would like to announce some major updates to the SANE WIA Driver
provided by the WiaSane project.

Since my first public announcement the following features have been
implemented:
- Support for automatic document feeder and duplex mode
- Support for username- and password-based authentication (including MD5)
- Integrated property page for device modification

In addition to that the following general improvements have been made:
- Make wizard and property pages use threaded device I/O handling
- Make WIA driver use asynchronous network connections (work in progress)

You can find the updated source code and current alpha download on GitHub:
- https://github.com/mback2k/wiasane
- https://github.com/mback2k/wiasane/wiki/Downloads

Even though the driver is still tagged as alpha-level software, I think
it is stable enough for personal productive use. Please give it a try if
you are running on Windows 7 or newer and have a SANE server available.

I will appreciate and welcome your feedback and contributions of any kind.
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Marc
