[ANNOUNCE] libinput 0.11.0

[Peter Hutterer]

A new release of libinput, 0.11.0, is now available.

This release is ABI-compatible with libinput 0.10, new functions have been
added.

A new function is available:
  libinput_device_pointer_has_button()
this call deprecates
  libinput_device_has_button()
and provides the same functionality. A simple search/replace is sufficient
to avoid the compiler warning.

The two new features added in this release are device groups and the use of
udev tagging for device identification.
Device groups are a labelling system to allow callers to identify which
libinput devices are part of the same physical device. All devices in the
same device group return the same opaque libinput_device_group object. Those
objects carry no other information otherwise. The set of new APIs
introduced:

	libinput_device_get_device_group()
	libinput_device_group_ref()
	libinput_device_group_unref()
	libinput_device_group_set_user_data()
	libinput_device_group_get_user_data()

Prior to this release, libinput had its own logic for deciding whether a
device was a mouse, a touchpad, a tablet, etc. These rules were sometimes at
odds with the udev id_input builtin causing some misdetection. For this
release, we have switched to using ID_INPUT_* tags to determine the device
type. This enables local overrides as well where necessary (e.g. libwacom
tags all known tablets as ID_INPUT_TABLET). For more information, see:
