Comment (by pierre.labastie):

 {{{
 libinput 1.10 is now available. Only one real change since the rc2: the
 fix
 for Bug 104939 that caused a segfault on the first event from some tablet
 tools (Aiptek, in this case).

 To fill the vast voids in this email, here's the list of changes to the
 1.9.x branch (copied from the rc1 announcement):

 The biggest feature is the dropping of the touchpad hysteresis.
 Previously,
 we employed a hysteresis to avoid pointer wobbles. A side-effect of that
 hysteresis was that small pointer motion wasn't as reactive as it should
 be.
 A previous attempt in 2016 to drop it failed (too many devices still
 needed
 it) so this time round we have a different approach: we analyse the event
 sequence from the touchpad and if we find it doesn't wobble, we disable
 the
 hysteresis for good. In most cases, this happens fast enough that you
 won't
 even notice, resulting in a more reactive pointer.

 A new button debouncing code fixes the occasional issues seen with stuck
 buttons. That code has already made it into 1.9.3 though, so you're likely
 already running it anyway.

 Touchpad tapping now handles palm detection where applicable, resting a
 palm
 on a touchpad while tapping should not confuse libinput anymore.
 Previously,
 palm touches were treated like any other touch, causing unexpected 2 and
 3-finger clicks.

 Some of the newer Wacom tablets (and older, worn-out ones) can have a
 leftover pressure on tip up. This caused libinput to miss out on the
 proximity event, leading to a constantly in-proximity tool. A new
 threshold
 for proximity out fixes this.

 As usual, the git shortlog is below.

 Peter Hutterer (5):
   tablet: drop unnecessary switch case statements
   tablet: remove obsolete BTN_TOUCH case
   test: add a missing proximity timeout in a tip up test
   tablet: don't set rotation on a tool if we don't have ABS_Z
   libinput 1.10.0
