[ANNOUNCE] libratbag 0.10

[Peter Hutterer]

libratbag v0.10 is out.

This comes hot on the heels of 0.9.906 but we had a suprising flurry of
changes since that version, so it's worthy of a release.

The most obvious change is the version number. In December 2017 we started
with a .90x numbering scheme in the misguided vanity that the stable 1.0
release is just around the corner. As it happens, it's now Aug 2019, Godot
has not yet arrived with a stable API and it's time to cave in, learn our
lesson, shed a few tears and switch back to 'normal' pre-1.0 development
numbers. So 0.10 it is. This should help with the confusion that Piper was
also using 90x numbers for the same reasons, but they weren't in sync with
libratbag.

Second: we now have an APIVersion field in the DBus API. This one will be
bumped whenever the DBus API changes in an incompatible manner but otherwise
unrelated to releases (read: may bump more than once per release). Piper
will make use of that to just refuse too start where there's a mismatch.
Life's too short to debug issues when Piper crashes randomly because
libratbag's package is a year older than Piper. See the Piper wiki for a
mini-guide:
https://github.com/libratbag/piper/wiki/FAQ#piper-complains-about-incompatible-ratbagd-api-version-error

Testing is a bit easier now with the ability to load free-form test devices,
but that's largely of interest to the boatload of libratbag developers
(assuming a a very small boat that's not fully loaded).

In terms of new devices, we only have the MX Vertical.
Users of the G700s - the DeviceMatch has been removed because it was
overlapping with the G700. It'll still work but the DPI limit is lower and
the steps are different. We have plans to fix this long-term, in the
meantime some things may be a bit odd.
