Scanner Button Daemon / News: Recent posts

The new version includes support for some new scanners and a number of bug fixes.
In addition, the package is now using GNU autotools which should improve portability.

The new version includes two new scanner backends (snapscan and niash), support for scanner initialization scripts, some architectural changes and lots of bugfixes.

This release fixes the known SIGSEGV problem which occurred when disconnecting a scanner while running scanbuttond and adds support for more scanner devices.

scanbuttond is a scanner button daemon for Linux (and maybe other Unix-like systems). It monitors the scanner's buttons and starts a shell script if it detects that one of these buttons has been pressed. scanbuttond is completely independent from SANE (scanning software for Linux), but coexists nicely with it.
Version 0.2 comes with a new, modular architecture and includes some bugfixes.
