[ANNOUNCE] libevdev 1.1.99.1

[Peter Hutterer]

The first release candidate for libevdev 1.2 is now available. No new APIs
but a couple of improved internal behaviours, most notably to work around
duplicate event sequences after SYN_DROPPED.

libevdev now discards the events between SYN_DROPPED and the sync process,
ensuring that the events handed to the client reflect the latest state on
the device. In those cases where the tracking ID changed between SYN_DROPPED
and the libevdev sync process this now removes those duplicate tracking IDs
(this was a source for stuck or double-terminated touch points in e.g. the
Xorg synaptics driver).

libevdev now uses dynamically allocated memory for syncing, removing the
MAX_SLOTS limit present in 1.0 and 1.1.

Peter Hutterer (21):
      Fix indentation
      test: fix the tracking_id sync test
      test: fix kernel test for revoke after
      test: the kernel test build doesn't need to link to libevdev
      test: remove checks for test device creation failure
      Add quote around device name during error message
      Use libevdev_reset from libevdev_free
      Drop unnecessary memset
      Only sync the initial MT state for Protocol B devices
      Drop hardcoded MAX_SLOTS in favour of pre-allocated memory
      Move slot-related initialization down
      Drop invalid ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID changes
      Fix a typo, add a @ref in the documentation
      Split the SYN_DROPPED page into a few sections
      test: restore default log priority after tests
      Calling libevdev_enable_event_code() overwrites EV_ABS/EV_REP values
      Clarify what signal-safe means
      Actually make the min queue size a minimum
      Move read_more_events() up in the file
      Drain all events before synchronizing after SYN_DROPPED
