Hi list,
Some four months, two weeks and a day ago we released version 1.0.28 of
the sane-backends[1][2]. A week later, I posted[3] a janitorial in
which I said I wanted to
- release on a 4 to 6 month schedule after 1.0.28
- switch to Debian 10 for source tarballs
- squat all compiler warnings on Debian 10
- update our documentation
So, in terms of time schedule, we should start thinking of releasing
1.0.29. We've just acquired a new backend (and have another in the
pipeline) and there have been close to 900(!) commits since 1.0.28.
Our source tarballs are built using a minimal Debian 10 Docker image
already. In the compiler warning department[4] things don't look as
good. I've been a bit busy with other stuff like triaging new issues,
reviewing merge requests and converting the SANE Standard to Sphinx
reStructuredText, apart from my non-SANE activities.

Despite of a somewhat visible lack of progress to the above goals I set
(for myself?), I suggest targetting 2020-01-20 as the release date for
1.0.29. How does that sound?
Hope this helps
