[ANNOUNCE] libinput 1.11.902
The second RC for libinput 1.12 is now available.
First a heads-up, this is probably going to be a longer RC cycle than usual,
just look at the commit count for rc1..rc2 below. I don't have any
additional large features planned for 1.12, so the rest should just be
bugfixing and polishing now. -
Libinput 1.12 RC2 Continues Working On Improving Linux Touchpad Behavior

Libinput 1.12 RC1 was working on replacing its udev "hwdb" hardware database with its own quirk handling system, migrating documentation from Sphinx to ReadTheDocs, FreeBSD support, improved trackpoint code, various touchpad fixes and improvements, and other input handling tweaks.

RADV Now Supports On-Demand Compilation Of Built-In Shaders
For helping out the RADV Vulkan driver in cases where no shader cache is available, this open-source Mesa Radeon Vulkan driver now supports the on-demand compilation of built-in shaders.
On cases like Android, ChromeOS, or sandboxes where no on-disk shader cache is available due to write/security permissions, RADV can take a while to start-up for some programs due to having to compile all of the built-in pipelines at start. RADV co-founder Bas Nieuwenhuizen says this process can take one to four seconds for the creation of a device.
