libei 0.4 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/0.4 Notable changes since 0.3: - ei_setup_backend_portal() was removed. The portal it connected to never really existed and all the efforts since have gone into supporting libei connections through the RemoteDesktop and the InputCapture portals. Note that these changes are not yet merged into upstream xdg-desktop-portal. - a new library "liboeffis" takes the place of the above. It is a helper library to connect to the RemoteDesktop portal via DBus with a minimal API and retrieve the EIS socket. This library is intended to be used by tools that cannot easily talk DBus themselves (this includes Xwayland). - the libei/libeis log handlers have a new API which makes handling log messages a bit simpler. - version exchange between client/server make it possible (in the future) to have multiple supported protocol versions. This is a development snapshot and neither API nor ABI should be considered stable. Anyone using libei or libeis must keep both in sync, there are no accommodations made for libei/libeis from different versions and the wire protocol may break at any time.
