libevdev 0.4 is now available. This release marks the API as stable, after
some larger API reworks.

New features:
- API revisited and changed where needed, with better namespacing.
- support for the creation of uinput devices
- New API to change the clock ID
- New API for toggling LEDs on the device
- EV_SW bits are now supported

APIs deprecated in 0.3 have been removed. APIs marked as deprecated now will
be removed for the 1.0 release - please switch to the new API now.

And of course the usual set of fixes and improvements. Many thanks to
everyone for their patches.

Cheers,
   Peter
