New version of not-really-libre VueScan is out. New versions are out frequently, but this one deserves attention.

Here are these two changes:

• VueScan now uses Google's Tesseract for OCR. However, it's a 3.0 pre-beta code and it doesn't seem to handle mixed cyrillic and latin letters.
• 33 languages are supported, with support for English, French and German built-in and others downloadable.
