[ANNOUNCE] libinput 1.7.901

The first RC for libinput 1.8 is now available. The biggest change in this release is that libinput has switched to meson as primary build system, the 1.8.x releases are the last ones to support (and be released with) autotools so you're encouraged to start switching your build processes over to meson. The second big change that is user-visible is that we have switched to a git-like approach to handling the helper tools for libinput. The previously installed tools of libinput-debug-events and libinput-list-devices are now "libinput debug-events" and "libinput list-devices", respectively. For the 1.8.x releases compat-wrappers are in place. On the actual feature side it's not huge, several features I was hoping would make it into 1.8 didn't get done or didn't get tested enough, so they will wait until 1.9. Nonetheless, there are quite a few changes: Tablet stylus events now average across multiple events to stop the wobbly lines previously produced by libinput (well, by the sensors but libinput just used to forward them as-is). On touchpads that provide MT_TOOL_PALM, i.e. in-kernel/in-firmware palm detection we now honor that bit and treat that touch as palm. The touchpad touch pressure ranges have moved into a hwdb entry, so adding new ranges doesn't require recompilation. This is already available in the 1.7.x releases. Tapping has seen some fixes for previously broken timestamps in the multi-tap use-cases. The lid switch handling now uses a udev property to tell us whether a keyboard is external or internal. Together with some improved state tracking it should make the lid switch handling more reliable on devices where the lid switch is broken. The property is also used for disable-while-typing which makes it easier to special-case hardware. A bit of work has gone into the test suite as well, it's now a bit more resilient and, more importantly, down to about 6.5 minutes. As usual, the git shortlog is below.
