libei 1.0.0 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/0.99.1 This release marks the C API and the protocol stable. 1.0 is expected very soon unless someone finds some serious issues with the current code that warrants another RC. Notable changes since 0.5: - the protocol no longer has a fixed capability enum, the bitmask is based on the available interfaces. See the ei_seat.capability event in the protocol documentation - new interfaces for button and scroll - these were split out from the previously merged pointer/pointer_absolute interfaces. Clients need to bind to those in addition to binding to pointer and/or pointer_absolute. EIS implementations need to provide those separately in addition to pointer/pointer_absolute. - a number of APIs have been renamed to adjust for this, e.g. ei_event_pointer_get_scroll_x() is now ei_event_scroll_get_dx() - ei_seat_bind_capability() was removed, use ei_seat_bind_capabilities() instead - the pkgconfig files are now libei-1.0.pc, libeis-1.0.pc, liboeffis-1.0.pc - enabling tests are now a meson feature, i.e. use -Dtests=enabled All of the above are largely search/replace. Don't forget to bind to the new button/scroll capabilities.
