[ANNOUNCE] xinput 1.4.0

2009-01-15 Thread Peter Hutterer
Main features added to this version is support for listing and changing input device properties. Note that this release is also MPX/XI2-aware. XI2 is still undergoing changes, so XI2 support is only enabled if you build it on a machine that's running libXi from git. Cheers, Peter Benjamin
