Gnome Scan 0.5.2 : « Ça ROCs »
September 8, 2007
Hi,
It’s time for a new release. So please welcome Gnome Scan 0.5.2 loosly codenamed « Ça ROCs » due to AbiScan dependency on this release 🙂 . Amongst other changes, here are some highlights :
- Preview area drawning and selection
- Action framework in flegita (added [buggy] printing feature)
- Revamped icon handling. Use “scanner” icon from icon naming spec.
- Resurrected Gimp plugin.
- Several API enhancements.
- Some bugfixes.
I encourage you to test and report as much bug as possible. There is a lot of room for improvement and some area are still untouched (e.g. processing). In the near future, i plan to improve area handling and preview area (resize, move, etc). After that, i should take a stand and design proper processing model and implement it. I need to fix printing, but GtkPrint seems not that suitable if you dissociate dialog and printing. Needs further investigation. I hope to provide 0.5.3 for october.
Please hunt the bug !
Kind regards,
Étienne.

Gnome Scan is coming along nicely. It is really a great (and much needed) addition to the GNOMEO-desktop. Good work so far, Etienne. I will give the new version a test-run, when I am done with some setup-work for a new machine.

Thank you for Gnome Scan!
I look forward to your later releases to be included in gnome.org as 4.0.4 is their latest.
