Libinput is done

At his blog, libinput maintainer Peter Hutterer announced that with the recent version 1.4 release, the libinput team has "now finished the TODO list we had when libinput was first conceived." In addition to marking that occasion with a clickbait headline, Hutterer goes on to review the full libinput feature set and its impact on other system components like display managers. "The hard work doesn't stop of course, there are still plenty of areas where we need to be better. And of course, new features come as HW manufacturers bring out new hardware. I already have touch arbitration on my todo list. But it's nice to wave at this big milestone as we pass it into the way to the glorious future of perfect, bug-free input." Hutterer also takes time to thank a long list of libinput contributors for their work.
