evemu records and replays device descriptions and events, making it possible to emulate input devices through the kernel's input system. Emulated devices are for most practical purposes indistinguishable from real devices.

Release 1.1.0 (2013-05-03)
==========================

This is the first release since evemu is hosted on freedesktop.
Here are a few highlights:

* The file format allows to put comments ('#') everywhere:
  - the dump now contain an human readable description of each events
  - evemu-record also outputs the device description as a header (this
    allow bug reporters to only have to use evemu-record instead of 2
    commands)

* The file format is now included in the header of the dumps:
  we can warn if the dump used to replay the events is earlier than the
  current evemu version, in case the file format change in the future

* The device node to record is now not mandatory. If the user omits it,
  evemu-record (or describe) outputs a list of available devices and the
  user interactively selects the good one.
