SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an application programming interface (API) that provides standardized access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, handheld scanner, video and still cameras, framegrabbers, etc.). The SANE standard is public domain and its discussion and development are open to everybody. The source code is written for UNIX (including Linux) and is available under the GPL, but commercial applications and backends are welcome. The package contains the libraries, net support, and scanimage. The X frontends xscanimage and xcam can be found in sane-frontends.
RELEASE NOTES: Significant enhancements were made to pixma, genesys, kodakaio, fujitsu, and canondr. Minor updates, bugfixes, and scanners were added in several backends. A new test suite was included. 51 new scanner models are supported. USB support was improved. The build system was improved (mingw64, bugfixes, and default pthread on Linux). Documentation was updated and bugs were fixed.
