2007 Mar 05: bugfix release xsane-0.994:
this version fixes two bugs
- crash when start scanning (when no ICC/ICM scanner profile is defined)
- postscript output does not work when printed
This version should still be considered as instable.

error messages and strange results!
2007 Mar 04: crash with sane-0.993:
When no ICC/ICM profile is defined then xsane crahses when a scan is started.
There is no way to solve this problem when color management (lcms) is not compiled in.
When color management is compiled in then you can go to preferences/setup/color management
and enter an ICC/ICM color profile for the scanner.
A fixed version will be released soon.
2007 Mar 03: postscript bug in xsane-0.993 found:
While appling color management support to the postscript
code there was introduced a bug. The created postscript
files don`t work in some cases. This also breaks the
usability of the copy mode.
The bug will be fixed as soon as possible. If you find any other
bug please report it immediately then I can try to fix it before the
next xsane release.

2007 Feb 11: e-mail bug in xsane-0.992 found:
XSane tells you the mail has been sent but in fact it was not accepted by the
mailserver. So you think the mail has been sent but it has not been sent!
The bug will be fixed in xsane-0.993, but I still have to do some
work on xsane-0.993 before it will be released.
When you need the email mode of xsane please use xsane-0.991
until xsane-0.993 is released.
2007 Jan 25: xsane-0.992 source released

produce unexpected results, especially with color management enabled.
