libinput 1.23.0

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 27, 2023

libinput 1.23 is available!

Thanks to Yinon Burgansky, this version has a new pointer acceleration

profile: the "custom" profile.

This profile allows users to tweak the exact response of their device

based on their input speed.

On X11, the code required to configure a custom acceleration profile

was already merged [1].

In the Wayland world, now that libinput 1.23 has been released,

compositors are able to expose this feature to their users.

Peter Hutterer already covered how this feature works on his blog in

detail, so make sure to have a look at his article [2].

In addition to the new acceleration profile, this release includes a

set of new quirks for different hardware. The work done for Razer

hardware is especially noticeable.

Finally, various bugs has been fixed and the CI has been improved.
