libinput 1.26.1 is now available. A few semi-exciting things, the rest
the usual bugfixes you'd expect for a point release.

Touchpads now special-case Shift for disable-while-typing, so typing
keys with shift down will trigger DWT.

Tablets can now be calibrated if libwacom says the tablet is a display
tablet. The hid-uclogic kernel driver doesn't set INPUT_PROP_DIRECT so
any device handled by that driver didn't have calibration available.
Fixed now, provided your tablet is recognised by libwacom.

The direction of the first tablet pad relative dial was fixed, it was
upside-down.

Our debugging tools now support --set-pressure-range for the new tablet
tool pressure range configuration added in 1.26 and --set-calibration
for the calibration matrix that's been around for a while. The libinput
debug-tablet tool now also supports all commandline options that
debug-events and debug-gui support.

And of course a varied assortment of device specific quirks and fixes.

As usual, the git shortlog is below.
