At long last, libinput 1.0 has been released. Libinput is the input handling library commonly used by Wayland compositors and is optionally used in the X.Org world via the xf86-input-libinput driver and is starting to be used by the Ubuntu Mir display server.

Peter Hutterer of Red Hat announced the libinput 1.0.0 release tonight on the Wayland mailing list.

The libinput 1.0 release has been a long time coming so if you're not already familiar with its current features, etc, see our dozens of libinput articles.
