[sane-devel] Feature Freeze for 1.0.32 (was Re: [HEADS UP] Feature Freeze for 1.0.32 on 2021-01-24)

[Olaf Meeuwissen]

Hi list,

Just thought I'd let you know there only one week left until Code Freeze
on 2021-02-07.

I've cleaned out my SANE related To-Do list and all items have been, eh,
"taken care of".  As for the outstanding issues that are assigned to me,
I've whittled that list down a fair bit as well.  The ones left I might
still do something about before leaving the project around 2021-02-16.

Hope this helps,
