== '''Iscan and Slackware 15.0''' ==

'''Slackware Linux 15.0''' was officially released the 3rd February 2022 concluding a 5 year long development cycle. A long incubation period resulting in the introduction of '''a lot of improvements and some differences''' from the previous 14.2 release. Many system libraries were subject to an upgrade to newer versions, many other introduced ex novo ad some removed for good due to their old age. Graphic libraries were no exception, the whole graphic stack was subject to renewal and modernization. All of this will sadly present as a problem for every user who, like me, still uses perfectly functioning but somewhat old hardware and devices: an '''Epson V200 Photo scanner''' for example.
