Changes in 7.0b1:

• Most NAPS2 code has been rewritten. Things should mostly look the same but under the hood there are many differences.
  • Beta feedback thread
• Added Mac support
  • Supports macOS 10.15 and later
  • The Universal download should work for all users. Or you can use the Intel/Apple Silicon downloads for a smaller download/install size if you know which one your Mac has.
  • NAPS2 on Mac bundles SANE drivers for USB scanners, allowing supported scanners to be used even on new M1/M2 Macs (which normally wouldn't work without manufacturer-provided drivers)
• Added native Linux support
  • Requires Flatpak for installation (https://flatpak.org/setup/)
  • Mono is no longer required
  • The UI should now feel like a native Linux app
  • Much better performance and reliability
• TWAIN support has been reworked
  • Some lifecycle-related issues should hopefully be fixed (e.g. only being able to scan once)
  • With "Use predefined settings", TWAIN now uses the built-in NAPS2 progress window, which allows multitasking
  • TWAIN UI should no longer be visible in console and batch mode
  • TWAIN should also now support scanning larger images (e.g. 1200dpi) without out-of-memory issues
• Upgraded Tesseract to 5.2.0 for OCR
  • Up to 30% faster OCR performance
  • Tesseract is now bundled with the NAPS2 download, so no extra download is required (though you still need to download language data if you don't already have it).
• PDF import and export have been rewritten to leverage Pdfium
  • This means better support for importing different kinds of PDFs
  • In some cases this means much faster import/export
  • Pdfium is bundled with the NAPS2 download so there is no longer an extra download needed to import non-NAPS2 PDFs
• New Crop UI
• Minor tweaks to blank page detection
• Image list tweaks
  • Selected images appear with just a blue border
  • Spacing has been optimized
• New automatic image correction functionality (work in progress)
  • "Document Correction" under the Image menu
  • Automatic fixing of color calibration, noise, skew, and other common scanning issues
  • Eventually this will be integrated into profiles
• JPEG2000 support for importing/saving images (Mac only for now)
• Dropped support for rarely-used image file formats (.emf, .exif, .gif)
  • Please request if you want this back
• NAPS2 on Windows now requires .NET Framework 4.6.2
  • This means no more support for Windows XP
  • Windows 7 SP1 is now the minimum requirement
• The 64-bit Windows install location is now "Program Files" instead of "Program Files (x86)"
• The MSI installer now has separate 64-bit and 32-bit downloads
• The AppData format for config.xml and Tesseract files has changed (will be automatically migrated)
• Improved icon quality
• Translations have been moved to Crowdin
  • See translate.naps2.com
• Various performance and reliability improvements
• Bug fixes
