[ANNOUNCE] libinput 1.1.902

[Peter Hutterer]

The second RC for libinput 1.2 is now available. 

One significant change to the API: the data provided by the tablet tilt API
is now in degrees rather than the previous normalized value range.

One feature I forgot to mention in the 1.2rc1 announcement: libinput now has
an option to disable tap-and-drag.

Bugfixes include fixing the the artpen rotation in left-handed mode and a
fix to prevent an invalid serial number on proximity in (if the kernel
doesn't immediately give us a serial number).

And a couple of items already released on the 1.1.x stable series:

The motion hysteresis has been deactivated by default. This may affect some
devices, especially older touchpads, and we'll have to re-enable the
hysteresis on those. If you notice the pointer wobbling when hold the finger
still, please file a bug so we can fix this. Everyone else should see a
smoother motion especially on small to tiny motions, making single-pixel
elements much easier to target.

Disable-while-typing has seen two fixes: if a key is merely held down rather
than pressed repeatedly, DWT will engage as expected now. And the
pairing algorithm has been improved to avoid cases where the touchpad was
paired with an external USB keyboard, despite there being a internal
keyboard.

Last: the mode button on the Cyborg RAT 5 is disabled. This button is
special, on each press it cycles through 3 'modes', sending a release
event for the current button and a down event for the next event code. This  
causes stuck buttons, since we have nothing in userspace that would handle
that button as intended, disabling it is the current solution.

As usual, the git shortlog is below.
