Hi,

I released 1.94.0 for both. The major change in this release is
suspend/resume support via systemd-logind. If the driver and hardware
support it, then interactive operations can run over suspend,
automatically resuming the laptop if a finger was presented.

For this to work correctly, the "power/wakeup" and "power/persist"
sysfs attributes of USB devices should be writeable. This might need
adjustments in e.g. the selinux policies. See

  https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/issues/840

Other than that, there is now a runtime limitation for legacy devices
(all non MoC devices right now). This was added as it is not clear
whether some devices might overheat if used for prolonged periods of
time. This should not affect usual usage at all, as pam_fprintd.so has
a much lower internal timeout.
