The first RC for libinput 1.7 is now available. This cycle was quite a large one and several big features were merged, so expect a few RCs before the final release.
First big feature: James Ye implemented support for switches, in particular lid switches. Closing the lid now disables the touchpad to avoid ghost touches but it also makes the lid switch event itself available to any callers. This is a new interface announced by the LIBINPUT_DEVICE_CAP_SWITCH capability, see the documentation for more info: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/group__event__switch.html Touchpads now use pressure values to detect touches instead of relying on BTN_TOUCH. This enables us to have per-device pressure values where needed to avoid misdetection of light or hovering touches. For now all touchpads use the default pressure vaules, if you have had issues with touch misdetection please file a bug with the required pressure ranges. Wheel tilt events are now handled as such provided the device is correctly labelled by the hwdb. A wheel tilt will not be advertised as scroll source 'wheel' but rather 'wheel tilt', making it possible to different between the two in the caller. Middle mouse button emulation is now compatible with scroll wheel emulation, i.e. it is possible to set scroll wheel emulation on the right mouse button and still enjoy middle button emulation. This is useful mostly on very old mice and some trackballs. On the topic of scroll wheel emulation: pressing the scroll button now always generates a button event (provided now scrolling was triggered). Previously this depended on an internal timeout which was hard to predict for users. Of course, if any scrolling is triggered while the button is down, no button events are sent. Tablet pad LEDs now hook up correctly to the new kernel LED implementation available in v4.9 and later. Pressing the respective mode button will thus toggle pad modes in the events correctly. Internal cleanup work touched most of libinput. And a gcov run exposed some untested code paths and a lot of tests have been added for those. External touchpad-keyboard combos can now be marked with a udev property to sure we enable disable-while-typing on the correct devices. Finally, the libinput-debug-events tool now uses colours and hides keycodes by default. It's now safe to run it in the background to record events without having to worry that passwords end up in the log. If you do need the keycodes, run with the --show-keycodes argument. As usual, the git shortlog is below.
