Peter's away this week, but I'm happy to make a release on his behalf (he asked) if needed to get 1.8 out. If you're happy moving the config file to the server, then I think we're fine to release the server, as the current release of evdev works fine with 1.8. I think Peter had a few more things he wanted to do before cutting a final evdev release though. Cheers, Daniel
