that's great to hear, and you get some prize now for being the first (I
haven't even switched evdev/synaptics over yet :)

as for the API, as Benjamin has said, there are some changes to come, but
once 0.4 is out the API shouldn't see any more changes (only additions).
and 0.4 will be out this week.

I've pushed the API changes to master too, so if you start adjusting now,
you should be good for 0.4 and beyond.

Cheers,
