Hey,

I've just released libfprint 1.0:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/releases

It contains a lot of bug fixes for a number of different drivers, which
would make it better for any stable or unstable release of your OS.

Note that there was a small ABI break between versions 0.8.1 and 0.8.2,
which means that any dependency (really just fprintd) will need to be
recompiled. And it's good seeing as we also have a new fprintd release
which also fixes a number of bugs:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/fprintd/-/releases

Benjamin Berg, CC:'ed, will take over maintenance and development of
libfprint with the goal of having a version 2 in the coming months that
supports more types of fingerprint readers that cannot be supported
with the current API.

The 1.0/stable branch of libfprint is now libfprint-1-0 and the API
documentation on the website has been updated to reflect that:
https://fprint.freedesktop.org/

Cheers
