libei 1.4.0 is now available. No changes since the 1.4 RC1. 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/ libei 1.4 has a few new APIs: ei_disconnect() is now public and thus can be invoked by the caller. Previously the only way to disconnect was to release the last ref to the ei context (which would then ei_disconnect() internally). This made cleanup code more difficult than it needed to be. Callers can now ei_disconnect() and unref when they're finished with the cleanup. libei now provides an ei_ping() call with a corresponding EI_EVENT_PONG event. Calling that function allows a caller to order events correctly, e.g. issuing a request followed by ei_ping() guarantees that any effects of the request will have been processed by the time the EI_EVENT_PONG arrives (and thus any events after that the event are caused by other reasons). libeis now provides an eis_ping() call and EIS_EVENT_PONG event that works effectively just like the libei one. This functionaliy has been part of the protocol already but was not previously exposed. The documentation has been updated that the modifiers event (eis_device_keyboard_send_xkb_modifiers()) should be generated fro any state change. This makes proper tracking of the XKB state in the client more reliable (well, possible). Note that for proper tacking the client will require the use of ei_ping() so it can associate any key events with the correct modifier state at the time.
