libinput 1.17.0 is now available. A bunch of changes to the libinput record and libinput replay tools and some general cleanup and a new tool, see below. The library itself is basically the same it was with the last RC though.
A new debugging tool has been added: libinput analyze recording.
This tool takes the files produced by libinput record and prints the content
in a tabular form. The goal here is to make it easier to analyze and
understand what type of data a device sends.
As is traditional, the RC1 announcement email with the changes since 1.16.x
so I don't have to retype them:
The big new feature is tap-and-drag with two and three fingers. Previously,
tap-and-drag could only be used to left-click and drag, it is now possible
to right/middle-click tap and then drag with one finger while the button is
held logically down.
Wacom's AES tablets no longer have smoothing enabled, it looks like those
devices don't need it. This should make the tablets more responsive and
accurate.
The quirks system has a few new attributes that make it easier to quirk
broken devices without recompiling.
As you've seen on the 1.16.x releases, the "your system is too slow" is now
ratelimited to merely 5 an hour. There's nothing a user can usually do about
this anyway, so not spamming the logs seems a bit more user-friendly.
A new debugging tool: libinput analyze touch-down-state
This tool visualises the touch state over time (using a libinput record
log as input), making it easier to debug stuck touches or hw issues where
ghost touches are detected.
Other than that, the fixes are all over the place and it's hard to narrow it
down to useful groups. Please see the git shortlog below for details.
