libei 1.1.0 RC1 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/1.0.901 Notable fixes in this release include: - ei_device_get_region_at() and its libeis equivalent was added as a helper to obtain a device's region at a given point. this is a library-only change. - ei_region_get_mapping_id() returns the mapping id previously set by the EIS implementation via eis_region_set_mapping_id(). This mapping id can be used to identify external resources that have a relationship with this region, e.g. a pipewire stream that uses the same mapping id. This is a protocol addition and bumps the ei_device protocol to version 2. Note that libei(s) was accidentally leaking some symbols from internal utility functions due to a missing compiler flag. These symbols are no longer there but ABI checkers will complain when updating to this version - those errors can be ignored. The ei-scanner protocol parser now requires Python 3.9. It did already anyway, but now it'll actually fail during meson setup instead of just blowing up with Python exceptions during build. Other than that, a bunch of fixes and tidies, in particular the s390x builds and test runs should now work correctly. Not planning on another RC - unless something major comes up expect 1.1.0 next week somewhen.
