gscan2pdf 1.8.6, a GUI to produce a multipage PDF or DjVu from a scan, has been released

Five clicks are required to scan several pages and then save all or a selection as a PDF or DjVu file, including metadata if required.

gscan2pdf can control regular or sheet-fed (ADF) scanners with SANE via libimage-sane-perl, scanimage or scanadf, and can scan multiple pages at once. It presents a thumbnail view of scanned pages, and permits simple operations such as cropping, rotating and deleting pages.

OCR can be used to recognise text in the scans, and the output embedded in the PDF or DjVu.

PDF conversion is done by PDF::API2.

The resulting document may be saved as a PDF, DjVu, multipage TIFF file, or single page image file.

Changelog for 1.8.6:
* Fixed visibility of options for DjVu, JPEG, & TIFF in save dialogue.
* + Reload recursion limit in Edit/Preferences
Break of out reload recursion loop if maximum number of reloads is exceeded.
* Reapply only those current scan settings that were reset by the reload
* Fixed unpaper detection for v0.3.
Closes #273 (t/355_unpaper2.t test fails in gscan2pdf-1.8.5)
