The first RC for libinput 1.11 is now available.

Quite a long development cycle this time and a bunch of things have changed,
some of which have already found their way onto the 1.10.x branch. Here's
and abbreviated list of changes since the 1.10.0 release:

A new tool pair is available now: libinput record and libinput replay.
These tools supersede the evemu-record/evemu-play tools currently used to
debug events. Usage is basically the same for users, simply run
	sudo libinput record
and select your device. The biggest advantages are that we can now
record and replay multiple devices at once and interleave the output from
evdev with the one from libinput. This should make debugging a lot easier.
For more info, see 
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/tools.html#libinput-record

The touchpad jitter detection code has been improved to reduce the
number of false positives. Some touchpads require the kernel fuzz setting to
be set to avoid pointer jitter though, please see this page for details:
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/touchpad_jitter.html

A new touchpad acceleration code has been merged, the behavior now resembles
the pointer acceleration of macos. You will notice that your touchpad is
slower at slow speeds and accelerates sooner. At the same time, the speed
range available has been greatly extended, so the slowest speed and highest
speed are quite significantly apart now. This should, hopefully, allow all
users to select a speed to match their preferences.

The maximum delta for trackpoints has been increased, reducing the amount of
pressure required to move the pointer around the screen. We also merged a
bunch of trackpoint range hwdb entries to set the expected range for some
common devices. The POINTINGSTICK_SENSITIVITY udev property is now ignored,
instead we just read that value directly from sysfs.

A new API call is now available to fetch the number of supported touches
from a device with the LIBINPUT_DEVICE_CAP_TOUCH capability:
   libinput_device_touch_get_touch_count()
You can use this call to determine if the touch device is single- or
multi-touch capable.

Note to packagers: the libinput-list-devices and libinput-debug-events
compat scripts have been dropped, see commit 8a223e739b0a35e28. Revert that
one if you need to keep shipping those.

In addition to the above, we have various fixes across the board including
palm detection and thumb detection improvements, better handling of Aiptek,
HUION, etc. graphics tablets and better handling of the stylus -> touch
transition on graphics tablets.
