evdev 2.0 has arrived. Roll out the carpet and bring the cake. FWIW, I hereby also take maintainership of evdev. Cheers, Peter Peter Hutterer (3): Finalize MB emulation if EvdevProbe fails. Shut up compiler warning "implicit declaration of function 'xf86Msg'" evdev 2.0.0 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.0.0

Adam Jackson (20): Unlibcwrap. Support the new DIX motion history API Ignore button events above BTN_TASK for now. Parse Option "Path" as well as Option "Device". Re-add XKB support. Nuke the keyboard bell code. Add absolute coordinate event support. Force maximum keycode to be 255 Handle the alternate spellings of the xkb

evdev 2.10 is now available. Plenty of bugfixes accumulated over time, one new option is now available: Resolution. This enables a user to set a mouse device's native resolution, if set the device's deltas are scaled to a normalized 1000dpi resolution. This can be used to make high-resolution mice less sensitive without having to actually change the acceleration in the desktop

First RC for evdev 2.6. We've only had a few changes since 2.5 but there is a significant rewrite coming up to use the masked valuator bits so I'd like to get out what we have now. Note that in all likelyhood, support for older servers (including server 1.9) will be dropped in the next version. Hence the 2.6 branch will be maintained for a while. This release has some improved tablet

evdev 2.10.6 is now available. Since evdev is in maintenance mode there aren't a lot of features to go around but still a few important fixes. Andrey fixed the proximity event generation for tablets and the handling of devices without axes but buttons - previously those were assumed to be keyboards in the server. Better error reporting from Christian and the rest are build system fixes that

Two fixes, one new feature for the evdev driver. The new feature is the ability to change the emulated middle button number (e.g. useful on devices with physical middle button as well). Alexander Volkov (1): Don't send pointer events in addition to touch events David Strobach (1): Middle emulation - make the emulated button number configurable Peter Hutterer (2): Fix

Two fixes in this release, one to support Android MT devices, one to avoid an array index overflow. Colin B. Macdonald (1): Workaround lack of ABS_X on MT devices (#80470) Peter Hutterer (1): evdev 2.9.2 Tobias Himmer (1): Check for incoming MT slot indices exceeding the allocated number of slots. git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.9.2

Only one change over 2.10, affecting some devices with absolute axes but not ABS_X/ABS_Y. Previously, those devices had the first to axes mapped to axes 0 and 1 and thus some random axes was interpreted as x/y coordinate. With this release, axes 0 and 1 are reserved for x/y axes only. Peter Hutterer (2): Only map x and y to axes 0 and 1 evdev 2.10.1 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.10.1

This release restores wheel emulation on absolute devices and drops the forced direction locking for scroll buildup during wheel emulation since it made it almost impossible to actually scroll in both directions. Since horizontal scrolling is disabled by default anyway, we don't need this lock. Peter Hutterer (5): man: add a warning that wheel emu inertia must be set and it isn't

Only one fix over 2.10.2 restoring tablets' functionality. A bug in the wheel emulation rework caused non-x/y axes to stop updating. Interaction with tablets thus resulted in a zero pressure sent to the clients an the tablet being unable to draw. Peter Hutterer (2): Restore non-xy axes updates evdev 2.10.3 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.10.3

Just the changes to support server 1.19, nothing exciting otherwise. Keith Packard (3): Report errors when attempting to write keyboard controls Support XINPUT ABI version 23 (threaded input) Support XINPUT ABI 24 (remove select mask from block/wakeup handlers) Peter Hutterer (1): evdev 2.10.4 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.10.4

No blockers reported since the last RC, so let's get it out of the way. The new evdev 2.1 is here, and it's sparkly and shiny and whatnot. Note that this version does not grab the event device anymore. If you're updating from evdev 2.0, ensure you have [1] in the server to avoid events being sent to the TTY. Other patches of interest [2-4] are recommended to avoid duplicate events.

Adam Jackson (1): evdev 1.99.3 Peter Hutterer (7): Fail if the device cannot be grabbed during the probe. Check for XINPUT ABI, parameters of InitValuatorClassRec have changed. Revert "Check for XINPUT ABI, parameters of InitValuatorClassRec have changed." Check for XINPUT ABI < 3 (corrected version) Plug a memory leak, we allocated pEvdev twice,

evdev 1.99.3 had a nasty bug that makes the server crash on DEVICE_CLOSE. Here's a fixed version. Peter Hutterer (3): Remove wakeup handlers when device is closed. If Emulate3Buttons is specified in the config, don't auto-deactivate it. evdev 1.99.4 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-1.99.4 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-input-evdev-1.99.4.tar.bz2

Expect this to be the last evdev 2.0.x release. Julien Cristau (1): Fix TestBit() on 64bit Peter Hutterer (1): evdev 2.0.8 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.0.8 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-input-evdev-2.0.8.tar.bz2 MD5: 7f9ace5bcca1427b0da40827a74cbc33 xf86-input-evdev-2.0.8.tar.bz2 SHA1: 57a88717a621957d82169b7508ef293214f4b952

Alan Coopersmith (1): Remove xorgconfig & xorgcfg from See Also list in man page Matt Helsley (2): rename NBITS to NLONGS to reflect its actual meaning Fix FOO_MAX off-by-one Michael Chapman (1): Disable middle mouse button emulation when a middle mouse button event is registered Peter Hutterer (2): Finalize MB emu (and wakeup handlers) before closing the fd.

Julien Cristau (1): Set pInfo->fd to -1 on DEVICE_CLOSE Peter Hutterer (3): Fix "Device reopened after N attempts" message. Don't post keycodes > 255. evdev 2.0.7 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.0.7 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-input-evdev-2.0.7.tar.bz2 MD5: cda012a05bcbe8fbad46ea338ad1716e xf86-input-evdev-2.0.7.tar.bz2

Only one minor fix since RC1. In xorg.conf static configurations, a wrong error code would prevent the server from loading additional devices if a device couldn't be opened. This is fixed now and only happens when we're out of memory (as intended). Looks like there's no major bugs out there, so unless I see a showstopper in before Monday, I'll get the release out next week. Peter
