[ANNOUNCE] xf86-input-evdev 2.2.99.1

[Peter Hutterer]

This is a snapshot of the current evdev development tree.

The driver is stable for everyday use but will see further changes before
settling down into 2.3. This snapshot intends to encourage wider testing.

Most notable changes to the current stable evdev 2.2:
- The driver now honours EV_SYN. This avoids button events to be sent before
  the associated motion events.
- Slightly improved tablet support. Wacom and waltop tablets now post all
  axes. Needs more work though.
- More verbose log output for easier bug triaging.
- Support for button and/or scroll-wheel-only input devices (e.g. Griffin
  Powermate). Note that the server does not yet support them as
  well.

Supports X Servers 1.5, 1.6 and git.

Peter Hutterer (39):
      Fix duplicate wheel button up mapping.
      Check button label before fetching the Atom from the server.  (#20524)
      Define MAX_VALUATORS if it's missing to allow for builds against 1.5.
      Bump to 2.2.99.
      Restore repeat-filtering for server 1.5 and earlier.
      Move keymap/modifier initialization behind the ABI < 5 ifdefs.
      Assume touchscreen/touchpad if we have _either_ ABS_PRESSURE or BTN_TOUCH
      If we have a touchpad, print so, don't claim we're configuring a tablet.
      Fix jumpy touchpads by updating old_vals only when reported by the device.
      Remove test/ directory.
      Fix wrong reference to axis and button label atom list.
      Trigger read error handling if len is <= 0.
      Pre-allocate the reopen timer so we don't allocate during sigio handling.
      Print read errors as X_NONE to avoid mallocs in the server.
      Revamp the whole "has_axes" definition.
      Use xf86DisableDevice instead of the DIX' DisableDevice.
      Only label axes and buttons if the device has axes or buttons.
      Up the number of button labels atoms to EVDEV_MAXBUTTONS.
      Ensure enough buttons are advertised to pass the button mapping.
      Rename pEvdev->buttons to pEvdev->num_buttons for clarity.
      Only initialize the number of buttons we actually have.
      Deal with BTN_3 to BTN_9 buttons.
      Split axes and button labels into separate function.
      Cope with ABI_XINPUT_VERSION 7 - requires button + axes labels.
      Add missing checks for ABI_XINPUT_VERSION 7.
      Initialize the axis labels to 0, not "misc".
      Fix wrong axis label index causing OOB reads/writes.
      If a device fails to initialize relative axes, init the abs. axes instead.
      Message "found absolute touchpad" also applies to tablets - fix.
      Fix absolute axis labelling - mapping must be initialized before the labels.
      Count REL_DIAL as a scrollwheel during EvdevProbe (#21457)
      Don't register middle mouse button emulation handlers for keyboards.
      Evdev doesn't require inputproto.
      Skip check for EVDEV_RELATIVE_EVENTS for wheel events.
      comment typo fix
      Rename parts of the Post API to a Queue API.
      Add EvdevPostButtonEvent API to immediately post a button event (#23269)
      Treat tablets (BTN_TOOL_PEN devices) differently from touchpads.
