[sane-devel] Code Freeze for 1.0.32 (was Re: Feature Freeze for 1.0.32)

[Olaf Meeuwissen]

Hi list,

Code Freeze for 1.0.32 is here.

>From here on, only documentation fixes and hardware destroying bug fixes
are food for the release/1.0.32 branch.

Speaking of hardware destroying bugs, we've just gotten a slightly
alarming issue[1] for the CanoScan 4400F overheating and possibly
"frying" a chip, or two, when scanning transparencies.

If need be, we'll disable support for this scanner completely (or just
the scanning of transparencies) to prevent further harm for folks using
1.0.32.

On the bright side, I think I've whittled down the list of outstanding
issues assigned to me to documentation issues.  Yay!

Translators!  As there won't be any further code changes, now is a good
time to update the po/*.po for your language and submit a merge request.
I don't think much has changed since 1.0.31 but quite a few languages
haven't seen updates for a while ...

Let's deliver a nice Valentine's Day present for our users.

# BTW, Valentine's Day is also [I ♥ Free Software Day][2].  And if you
# really care, consider donating or becoming a member of a free software
# organization you like.  See my sig for one option, the FSF, and the
# FSF Europe from the link is of course also a good option.  Thinking of
# becoming a member of the latter myself, in addition to the FSF :-o

Hope this helps,
