GUI:
For the Epson Perfection scanners V700, V750, V800 and V850, the names of the "transparency" modes have been renamed to make the different focus levels more obvious. "Transparency: holder" is intended for all scans with film holder and "Transparency: glass" for all scans without film holder for which you put the material directly onto the glass.

General: Starting with version 8.8.0r18, some Epson scanners, for which only 32-bit drivers were available so far, are now also supported with 64-bit and can therefore also be used under current macOS operating systems. Check the list of supported scanners for more details.
General: Improved 3-slide advanced color calibration for slide magazin scanners.
SilverFast is available for 3 new Plustek scanners:
Plustek OpticBook 3800L, OpticBook 3900 and A300 Plus.
SilverFast can be used with many Plustek scanners on macOS 10.15 now. Compatible frameworks for Plustek scanners have been added.
SilverFast handling for some Epson scanners has been improved for macOS 10.15. With new macOS 10.15 some scanners required a second start of SilverFast. This is no longer necessary. SilverFast can initialize them on the first start again.
