This is the first RC for synaptics 1.6. I expect the release to happen quite soon, though I still need to trawl through the bugzilla for dealbreakers.
Below is the full changelog, the most notable features are the addition of multitouch support and support for ClickPads. ClickPads are touchpads that don't have physical buttons but instead the touchpad itself works as a button (or two, in some cases). These ClickPads have a new property for the configuration of software buttons, see the man page for more details. When building with MT support enabled, mtdev is required. Alexandr Shadchin (2): On/Off hooks to return boolean so we can bail out of the caller The correct maximum values for pressure and finger width Benjamin Otte (1): eventcomm: Fix initialization code Casper Dik (1): Extra buttons on Acer Ferrari 4000 laptop touchpad are not recognized Chase Douglas (35): Allocate axis labels array dynamically Add touch device class support eventcomm: Initialize touch device and axes eventcomm: Read evdev events from mtdev where multitouch is available eventcomm: Add touch event handling Ensure delta computation does not go crazy Only move the cursor when one touch is on a touchpad Don't emit touch sequences if only one touch is active Don't initialize touch state if device does is not multitouch Don't initialize semi-multitouch devices for touch device class Revert "Replace the motion estimator" Allocate proto data in eventcomm-test Introduce SynapticsHwStateAlloc() and SynapticsHwStateFree() Transition eventcomm-test to new SynapticsHwState instantiation scheme Allocate SynapticsHwStruct for local function use Allocate SynapticsPrivate.comm->hwState Allocate priv->hwState Introduce SynapticsCopyHwState function Rename num_touches to max_touches Add touch valuator mask to hw state structure Add open_slots array to SynapticsPrivate Move X touch event processing into synaptics.c Filter touch events if click actions are enabled Filter touch events if tap actions are enabled Filter touch events if two-finger scrolling is enabled Prefer multitouch over single-touch axis ranges Update touch state when device is off too Don't use linear regression when calculating touchpad motion deltas Add clickpad device property Add cumulative_d{x,y} to SynapticsHwState Enable clickpad click and drag with two fingers Disable scrolling when beginning a clickpad press Calculate touch data for semi-mt devices, but don't send touch events Add soft button areas property Ignore motion during touch count changes on semi-mt devices Cyril Brulebois (1): Revert: "eventcomm: replace synaptics-custom TEST_BIT with server's BitIsOn." Daniel Stone (17): Shuffle include order around Bump minimum xorg-server requirement to 1.7 Properties: Generalise InitTypedAtom from InitAtom Add HIST_DELTA macro for differences in history Give FingerState enums explicit values Introduce POLL_MS for packet frequency Use CARD32 for timestamps Don't store fake events in the motion history Update count_packet_finger in store_history, not get_delta Scroll: Clarify rep_buttons assignment Scroll: Move scroll_[xya] into new priv->scroll struct Scroll: Move coasting variables to priv->scroll Scroll: Modify ScrollData in repeat_scrollbuttons Adjust acceleration scheme for input ABI v14 Scroll: Prepare ScrollData for smooth scrolling Scroll: Initial smooth scrolling support Constify priv->device Derek Foreman (6): Fix pressure->motion property format Use hardware time where possible Replace the motion estimator More accurate extrapolated fake motion events Revise palm check logic Scroll: Add last_millis to track scroll event timing JJ Ding (1): fix wrong finger width range Peter Hutterer (35): Bump to 1.5.99 Fix compiler warning: unused variable "wakupTime" man: note that a PS/2 device is not supported test: wrap ABI 14 xf86OptionRec type changes Fix compiler warning - unused variable 'para' eventcomm: print strerror(errno), not of rc Use the scroll distances as increment for scrolling valuator axes Return true/false from SetDeviceAndProtocol If protocol is auto-dev and the device path is set, unset the protocol test: fix build errors introduced by upstream server change Remove unused variable 'thr' test: fix build error introduced in 9f9b55ab55ed5 synclient: fix indentation of "format mismatch" parameters Remove compiler warning: unused variable "atom" Submit the right number of MT axes Fix build error if HAVE_MTDEV is false Revert "Don't store fake events in the motion history" synclient: accept XA_CARDINAL as 32-bit type (#46330) Fix scoll increment for non-smooth scrolling (#46617) Fix horiz/vert scroll delta mixup Always require mtdev on eventcomm Fix build error - duplicate typedef (#47168) tools: add hysteresis support to synclient If the middle button timeout is 0, don't even attempt to emulate. Use arrays for st->mt scaling Move st->mt scaling to helper function Move filtering into a separate function Move resetting hw state to separate function. Add an old_hw_state field to remember the last values Only handle ClickFingers on left button press events Add a BTN_EMULATED_FLAG to mark emulated buttons on clickfingers Disable middle mouse button emulation on clickpads Guess the number of clickpad ClickFingers based on finger distance Soft buttons are only available on clickpad devices, disable them otherwise. synaptics 1.5.99.901 Peter Zotov (1): Implement a workaround for Elantech touchpads git tag: xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901.tar.bz2 MD5: d0c28aa15887deca4051ffea67b31d64 xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901.tar.bz2 SHA1: 8836b1c2bf443b2c11f38457e203c5309698d9d0 xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901.tar.bz2 SHA256: da37ec8100dab7f370bcc06bec664298b6c16f39c0b8b900e53024d3d0a4a526 xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901.tar.bz2 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901.tar.gz MD5: f7699d332969101b8939c2ab2c4170e7 xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901.tar.gz SHA1: c36842476cd94d928e4f956ecb1fc225a7dbe610 xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901.tar.gz SHA256: 04b1d7a283ff17cdf616f30b1c1530a9cc0fcbbc6b6cba560042ed0f3e891f18 xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901.tar.gz
