New minor version
{{{
libevdev 1.5.3 is now available. Previously, when an event type/code was
disabled libevdev would still try to sanitize the event and print warnings
where necessary. But since it doesn't update its internal state of the
device it caused false positives, specifically about duplicate tracking
IDs
in the touch protocol. This is fixed now, disabled event types/codes are
now
fully ignored.
The touchpad-edge-detector now requires a user to pass in the size of the
touchpad so that the output of the tool is immediately useful without
further edits.
Peter Hutterer (4):
tools: change touchpad-edge-detector to require physical size
tools: require a minimum size for touchpads
Don't bother sanitizing disabled event codes
libevdev 1.5.3
}}}
{{{
Only one fix, the new addition to the touchpad-edge-detector tool in 1.5.3
used the wrong set of coordinates and printed a wrong resolution as
suggestion for the udev rule. So if you updated to 1.5.3, please update to
1.5.4 to make my life easier debugging things.
Peter Hutterer (2):
tools: fix the touchpad resolution calculation
libevdev 1.5.4
