A new release of libinput, 0.7, is available.
A main focus in this cycle was to get to almost feature parity with the
current X-based input stack. Things libinput gained since 0.6:
* devices can be disabled/enabled at runtime. This includes smart disabling
of touchpads when a USB mouse is plugged in, and smart disabling of the
T440 touchpads so that the top buttons still work even when the touchpad
is disabled.
* edge scrolling is available on some devices, and the scroll method can be
switched at runtime
* trackpoints can scroll by pressing the middle button and moving the stick.
This button-scrolling method is also available on other devices on request.
* pointer acceleration is becoming device-resolution independent, provided
your device has a DPI entry in the udev hwdb. This makes high-resolution
gaming mice behave normally. See this post for more details:
http://who-t.blogspot.com/2014/12/building-a-dpi-database-for-mice.html
* pointer speed can be changed at runtime
* natural scrolling is now available, for touchpads and mice
* devices can be switched to left-handed, libinput handles the details
* devices can be asked to change their assigned logical seat at runtime
* relative pointer events also provide unaccelerated motion. Note that this
is _not_ raw data as it comes from the device, it's normalized to
1000dpi.
There are no API breakages in this version, but many additions.
Note that the APIs that are marked as deprecated since 0.6 will be removed
in the next version.
Two convenience functions were added to get the struct libinput back from a
device or a seat object:
libinput_seat_get_context()
libinput_device_get_context()
The call to reassign a new logical seat to a device is:
libinput_device_set_seat_logical_name()
Some callers have a requirement to modify or examine the device outside of
what libinput provides. libinput now can hand callers the matching udev
device (if any) that represents a libinput device:
libinput_device_get_udev_device()
To access unaccelerated delta motion from pointer events:
libinput_event_pointer_get_dx_unaccelerated()
libinput_event_pointer_get_dy_unaccelerated()
Config APIs always come in a quartett of has/set/get/get_default, I've only
listed the respective "set" method below, please find the rest in the API
docs:
libinput_device_config_accel_set_speed()
libinput_device_config_send_events_set_mode()
libinput_device_config_scroll_set_natural_scroll_enabled()
libinput_device_config_scroll_set_mode()
libinput_device_config_buttons_set_left_handed()
To know which button can be used to enable button-based scrolling:
libinput_device_has_button()
And of course the usual cleanups, fixes, etc.
