[ANNOUNCE] libinput 0.9.0

[Peter Hutterer]

A new release of libinput, 0.9, is available.

This release is ABI-compatible with libinput 0.8, but a set of new functions
has been added.

Main changes:
* Support for hovering fingers on touchpads. Some touchpads detect fingers
  before actually touching the surface causing unexpected motion
  events. libinput now handles such touchpads.
* Click methods are now configurable, see below for more details.
* Support for the Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd was added. Note that this requires
  kernel patches and a udev hwdb addition, see this post for more details:

A click method is a way of triggering a middle or right button
click on a device that does not have corresponding physical buttons.
libinput supports two methods: button area and clickfinger. Button area is
the default on most non-Apple touchpads and designates an area on the
touchpad as right button. Clicks with a finger in that area will generate a
right button press.
Clickfinger is the default on Apple touchpads and counts the number of
fingers resting on the touchpad when the click happens. A right click is
generated for 2 fingers, a middle click for 3 fingers resting on the
touchpad.

API additions:
* libinput_device_config_click_get_methods
* libinput_device_config_click_get_method
* libinput_device_config_click_get_default_method
* libinput_device_config_click_set_method
