A new release of libinput, 0.16.0, is now available. 

No API changes or additions and much of the work has gone into the
test-suite.

There are still a couple of new features:
Touchpads with ABS_MT_DISTANCE such as the Chromebook Pixel are now
supported.

The tapping code now allows ending a tap-and-drag with an extra tap, i.e.
the sequence becomes:
  tap, finger down, move .... move, finger up, tap
As soon as the final tap is detected, libinput sends the button release
event and ends the drag. This provides a more responsive interaction than
waiting for the timeout.

Also in the touchpad code: disable-while-typing has been added. While it is
currently switched on for all touchpads, we expect some fine-tuning over
time to detect erroneous touches better and through other means than a
simple timeout.

As usual, the git shortlog is below.
