libei 1.5.0 is now available. libei is a library to send Emulated Input (EI) to a matching Emulated Input Server (EIS) which can receive those events with libeis, also part of this project.
libei uses GitLab releases, for tarballs please see: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libei/-/releases/ The protocol remains the same (bar many cleanups, typo fixes and rewordings) but on the C library side we have a few improvements: - previously a slow receiver would get disconnected as soon as the other side encountered a writers' block. This is now handled via a larger queue so disconnections will only happen in extreme cases. - for the socket backend, the new eis_backend_socket_get_client_pid() provides, perhaps unsurprisingly, the client PID - ei_event_ref() and ei_event_unref() are now available to clients in case the event needs to be kept outside the immediate scope. This should still be handled with care. - The handling of ei_pingpong and ei_sync is now that the pong/sync reply is sent when the respective event is unref'd (previously it was sent as soon as the event is retrieved from libei(s)). This allows e.g. an EIS implementation to complete processing of internal state before replying to the client. And of course a typical grab-bag of fixes all over the place.
