Description :

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.

Additionally, this update configures USB devices through udev hwdb instead of individual rules which should speed up device recognition and fixes a crash in the pixma backend that occurred if hostnames of networked scanners were too long.
