Important notice for package maintainers: This is the first stable
release that has been made available on GitLab. Make sure to update
your scripts to point to the new URLs [1].

This is what's new:

 - High-resolution scroll is more reliable thanks to the inclusion of new
   heuristics
 - Better handling of BTN_TOOL_PEN on top of BTN_TOOL_RUBBER on graphics
   tablets that trigger a kernel bug
 - libinput doesn't handle joysticks and gamepads. The detection algorithm
   has been improved to avoid tagging some of those devices as keyboards
 - Improved clickpad detection
 - New quirks and bug fixing

The list of changes included since 1.20.rc1 [2] are included below.
A big thank you to all contributors!
