libinput 1.2 is now available. 

Nothing significant since rc2, below is an outline of changes since 1.1.
The main feature merged since 1.1 is graphics tablet tool support.
Devices tagged by udev as ID_INPUT_TABLET are handled by libinput now and
exposed with the LIBINPUT_DEVICE_CAP_TABLET_TOOL capability. Note that this
currently only includes tablet tool support, including stylus, eraser,
cursor, lens cursor, etc. The "pad" part of the tablet is not yet
integrated. For documentation on tablet support see these two links:
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/tablet-support.html
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/group__event__tablet.html

It is now possible to disable tap-and-drag independently from tapping in
general by caling libinput_device_config_tap_set_drag_enabled()

We now have three-finger pinch gestures on supported hardware, but also had
to disable gestures on some hardware. On that hardware the data is generally
garbage for gestures but two-finger scroll gestures and multi-finger taps
should work a lot more reliable now.

The motion hysteresis has been deactivated by default. This provides
smoother motion especially on small to tiny motions, making single-pixel
elements much easier to target.
On some devices, especially older touchpads the hysteresis may be required.
We've enabled a bunch of those already, if you notice the pointer wobbling
when hold the finger still, please file a bug so we can fix this.

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.

      touchpad: add synaptics semi-mt devices to those needing hysteresis
