Name        : sane-backends
Product     : Fedora 18
Version     : 1.0.24
Release     : 7.fc18
URL         : http://www.sane-project.org
Summary     : Scanner access software
Description :
Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) is a universal scanner interface.  The
SANE application programming interface (API) provides standardized
access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner,
hand-held scanner, video and still cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

New upstream version with these changes:

* Significant enhancements to pixma, genesys, kodakaio, fujitsu, canon_dr.
* Minor updates, bugfixes or scanners added in several backends.
* 51 new scanner models supported.
* USB support improvements.
* Documentation updates.
* Bugfixes.

Additionally, this update configures USB devices through udev hwdb instead of individual rules which should speed up device recognition and a crash in the pixma backend that occurred if hostnames of networked scanners were too long, various issues found during a static code scan and a bug in the udev rules where SCSI devices didn't get the correct permissions for logged in users.
