New Features (Customer Requests)

External app: The preview image is discarded when the user logs out or when the scan session times out (customers requested this because of privacy / data security concerns).

Improvements

WideTEK scanners: The crop & deskew "snap" formats have been revised.
WT60CL: The larger internal stitching reserve allows easier offset correction between individual CIS modules.

Bugfixes

HP PageWide: Paper selection failed if number of chosen paper roll was above 4.
ColorWave 600: Rotation back to 0° setting fixed.
