[ANNOUNCE] libinput 1.2.902

[Peter Hutterer]

The second RC for libinput 1.3 is now available. RC1 failed distcheck, so
let's pretend it never happened. Look, squirrel!

The main addition in libinput 1.3 is support for so-called tablet pads, i.e.
the actual tablet part of a graphics tablet. These pads feature three input
sources - buttons, rings and strips. Rings and strips provide data in
degrees and normalized, respectively, with a similar "source" system as we
already offer for pointer axis sources. Buttons are just that, a sequential
list of buttons starting at index 0 - this is a notable departure from the
linux/input.h event codes we use in the pointer and the tablet tool
interface.

The second addition are middle buttons for touchpads with a software button
area. Previously, a middle button could be triggered by pressing with a
finger in the left and right button area simultanously. Unfortunately, too
many touchpads are unable to reliably detect both fingers. The middle button
area is always available when software buttons are enabled and encompasses
the center 15-20mm on the touchpad.

We already enabled middle button scrolling for trackpoints, with this
release middle button emulation now works as well. Thus, scrolling is
available on trackpoints that don't have a physical middle button.

Finally, touchscreens that have a fuzz value set on the kernel device are
now defuzzed in libinput, thus stopping pointer wobbles previously seen when
holding the finger still. Note that libinput does not *set* the fuzz value,
it merely uses it. Employ a udev rule or hwdb entry to set this on your
device if needed.

As usual, the git shortlog is below.
