I just cut the release/1.0.31 branch.

If there's any bug fixes or documentation/translation updates you want
to get into 1.0.31, make sure to target that branch.

Any feature additions should go to master, as usual.

I think I've added all merged merge requests between 1.0.29 (remember,
1.0.30 was a security bug fix and was merged to master) and the point
where I cut release/1.0.31 to the milestone.  I also think I've added
all closed issues that resulted in code changes.  The ones with merge
requests were easy to find but I may have missed issues without any.
If you find any such issues, please set their milestone.  The list of
possible issues is at

  https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues?scope=all&state=closed&milestone_title=None

and you're looking for the issues that were last updated after 1.0.29
was released, i.e. 2020-02-02.

I've already merged the Ukranian message updates, thanks Yuri!, and am
just done syncing the po/*.po files with the latest code.

FTR, French and British English were updated on master already before I
cut release/1.0.31 but I have taken the liberty to bump the version and
date and last translater in their *.po files where appropriate.

Hope this helps,
