I am not 100% following this mailing-list, so I can miss fundamental
informations.

As I had a Canon LIDE 70 I wanted to ask what is the status of support for it?

While searching for informations myself:
1. Its man-page [2] points to nirvana.
2. The ChangeLogs file [3] ends with release 1.0.28.

Thanks for a feedback in advance.
