[ANNOUNCE] wayland 1.7.0

[Graham Cantin]

And I just want to thank Bill for sticking with it for so long -- good to
see the great list of documentation fixups once his initial rocky hardware
problems were addressed.
It's been a hard road to get this far.

Libinput's almost got the fixin's for using common xbox 360 pads and HID
variants thereof -- I don't have the time to dedicate to getting that all
working, but someone should take a look at making that all work.
The underpinnings are laid; now it's up to someone clever to stack
thoughtful controller support on top. Someone should poke any contacts they
may have at Valve for potential requirements at this point, as we should
really be looking at their input (literally). They need to be correctly
assigned to seats as well, generally in sets of up to four controllers.

That's about all the input I've got to add at the moment; 7777 messages
from this mailing list in my gmail archive, dating back to around october
2009.
Wonderful to be reaching this point after five long years of lurking.
Congrats to all!
