The first RC for libinput 1.12 is now available. First a heads-up, this is probably going to be a longer RC cycle than usual which is why I'm getting an RC out very soon after the 1.11 release. But we're accumulating a few big changes and I really need testing feedback. Expect there to be more (but smaller) features to come, but right now it's time to test the big changes.
In terms of notable features, the udev hwdb handling has been removed in favour of a libinput-specific quirks system. Quirks are just entries in .ini files so from a functional perspective nothing much changes. The advantages are more obvious matching and easier debugging when something doesn't match. The new "libinput quirks" tool is your go-to tool here. As usual the documentation has more information: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/device-quirks.html Speaking of documentation: fresh off the presses is the conversion to sphinx with the ReadTheDocs theme. You are invited to marvel and go all "oooh, ahhh" at the new look. Fixing the leftovers from the conversion and polishing the docs is high priority but will take a while. As for everything else, any help would be much appreciated. We now build successfully on FreeBSD, I'm assuming this also means libinput works under BSD ;) Many thanks to Greg for his porting work here. Trackpoints were a focus this cycle, the previous acceleration method (1.8 and later) was simply broken and assumed data that (at least my) trackpoints were not able to provide. The new methods is similar to the pre-1.8 versions and features a magic multiplier. This is a quirk entry on a per-device basis to bring the trackpoint motion into a sane value range. Unfortunately this means previously assigned TRACKPOINT_RANGE properties are obsolete, if your trackpoint had a different speed before please look at the documentation for more info and how to fix it: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/trackpoints.html I can't stress this enough: please test this! Virtually all pointer acceleration work so far happened in a feedback-less void which is both terrifying and terrifyingly sad. If you have stakes in the game, help out! Konstantin fixed a long-standing bug with touchpads that caused inadvertent small motion on finger down/up. This improves precision pointing because it removes that little a-few-pixel motion that often came on finger up. Touchpads now support thumb detection via pressure thresholds, where available. Like the pressure-based palm detection this requires that a pressure threshold is defined and that the touchpad supports pressure. Size-based thumb detection is currently being worked on but not merged yet. As you would've noticed from the 1.11.x releases, we're on gitlab now. Benjamin did quite a bit of work hooking up the GitLab CI infastructure - we're now building everything on Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch (and cross-compiling for FreeBSD). In addition we test the various build time options, so that hopefully eliminates a whole set of bugs before they hatch. Bugs, if they do hatch, can be filed here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/issues Besides all the above, the usual set of fixes, minor improvements, etc. As usual, the git shortlog is below.
