The first RC for libinput 1.14 is now available.

We have new and improved thumb detection for touchpads, thanks to Matt
Mayfield. On Clickpad devices this should make interactions where a thumb is
resting on the touchpad or dropped during an interaction more reliable. A
summary of the changes can be found here:

The Dell Canvas Totem is now supported by libinput. It is exposed as a new
tool type through the tablet interface along with two new axes. Note that
this is only low-level support, the actual integration of the totem needs
Wayland protocol changes and significant changes in all applications that
want to make use of it. A summary of the changes can be found here:
https://who-t.blogspot.com/2019/06/libinput-and-dell-canvas-totem.html

Touch-capable tablets now tie both devices together for rotation. If you set
the tablet to left-handed, the touchpad will be rotated along with the
tablet. Note that this does not affect the left-handed-ness of the touchpad,
merely the rotation. 

Tablet proximity out handling for tablets that are unreliably sending
proximity out events is now always timeout-based. It is no longer necessary
to add per-device quirks to enable this feature and it is completely
transparent on devices that work correctly anyway. A summar of the
changes can be found here:
https://who-t.blogspot.com/2019/06/libinput-and-tablet-proximity-handling.html

Tablets that send duplicate tools (BTN_TOOL_PEN and BTN_TOOL_ERASER) now
ignore the latter. This is an intermediate fix only but at least makes those
tablets more usable than they are now. Issue #259 is the tracker for this
particular behaviour if you are affected by it.

The handling of kernel fuzz has been slightly improved. Where our udev rule
fails to reset the fuzz on the kernel device, we disable the hysteresis and
rely on the kernel now to handle it. Previously our hysteresis would take
effect on top of the kernel's, causing nonresponsive behaviour.

Note to distribitors: the python-evdev dependency has been dropped, the
tools that used it are now using python-libevdev instead.

And of course a random assortment of fixes, improvements, etc. Many thanks
to all contributors and testers.
