[ANNOUNCE] libinput 1.5.0

libinput 1.5.0 is now available. Only a few minor changes over the rc and only one which is noteworthy: libinput has built-in palm detection when the trackpoint is in use. The Lenovo *60 series (and possibly others) randomly send a single trackpoint event which used to trigger this palm detection and disable the touchpad for 300ms. To the user, this looked like a stuttering touchpad. This is fixed now. As for the rest, it's the same as in the RC so I'll just copy the previous announcement in here: A large part of this release cycle was internal cleanups and improvements to the test suite, only few new features were added. For touchpads, we now have a new configuration option to allow a 1/2/3 finger tap be mapped to left, middle and right, respectively. The default remains at left/right/middle. For more details, see the documentation for libinput_device_config_tap_set_button_map() In the disable-while-typing code we now ignore modifier combinations like ctrl+s to avoid unnecessary timeouts and delays. Other touchpad-related fixes include more responsive two-finger scrolling and better touch point transition handling (i.e. less pointer jumps after tapping and two-finger scrolling). For tablets we now have automatic touch arbitration in userspace, i.e. we disable the touch input whenever a pen is in proximity to avoid erroneous pointer moves. Touch arbitration is currently handled by the kernel but is being phased out over the next couple of kernel releases. In the future this may allow for smart touch arbitration based on input areas, for now we simply copy the kernel's behavior and turn touch events off. The rest are assorted fixes and the aforementioned internal cleanups. As usual, the git shortlog is below Peter Hutterer (5): tools: prefix debug output with '-' on device changes test: rename SYNAPTICS_CLICKPAD to SYNAPTICS_CLICKPAD_X220 touchpad: require at least 3 events before enabling trackpoint palm detection udev: fix hwdb match for the HP Stream 11 configure.ac: libinput 1.5.0 git tag: 1.5.0 http://www.freedesktop.org/software/libinput/libinput-1.5.0.tar.xz MD5: 26030dae25f1ac584b0e428c90473339 libinput-1.5.0.tar.xz SHA1: 89a07989d1f6907b13e2ecc768e30715bdba1721 libinput-1.5.0.tar.xz SHA256: 5a96559385ecfaa30f9e72ea89eb8ebbc97caf68e458f451f4ed62315311081c libinput-1.5.0.tar.xz PGP: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/libinput/libinput-1.5.0.tar.xz.sig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
