inputproto 2.2

The X Input Extension protocol version 2.2 is now available.

The main feature added in this version is support for multitouch devices
and the ability for clients to register for and receive touch events.

Multitouch support in XI 2.2 aims to
- support a dynamic number of simultaneous touch points,
- support devices that are both multitouch and traditional pointer devices,
- allow touchpoints to be either grouped together or handled separately,
- be backwards-compatible to pre-XI 2.2 clients through emulation of XI 2.x/XI 1.x and core
  pointer events.

For a description of the new features see the following posts:
- http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/multitouch-in-x-getting-events.html
- http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/multitouch-in-x-pointer-emulation.html
- http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/multitouch-in-x-touch-grab-handling.html
- http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/multitouch-in-x-multitouch-touchpads.html

Many thanks to all who have contributed to this protocol.
As usual, the full changelog since 2.1 is below. 

Chase Douglas (28):
      Updates for pointer emulation and more touch device modes
      Many more updates to the XI 2.1 protocol
      Separate "XI2.x" into "XI 2.x" for readability
      Yes, send TouchEnd to owner, TouchPendingEnd to other listeners
      Update device type terminology
      Prettyify touch device types
      Peter is right, floating devices can emit touch events
      Fix up pointer event emulation section

libXfont 1.4.5

libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the
index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file
formats, and rasterizing them.   It is used by the X servers, the
X Font Server (xfs), and some font utilities (bdftopcf for instance),
but should not be used by normal X11 clients.  X11 clients access fonts
via either the new API's in libXft, or the legacy API's in libX11.

This release includes several bug fixes, including updates to better
handle fonts compressed with compress(1), cleanups for compiler warnings,
and improvements for the developer documentation.

Alan Coopersmith (7):
      Remove configure comment about synchronizing version numbers
      Strip trailing whitespace
      Add const attributes to fix gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings
      Add _X_ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF to *Error/*Warning functions taking printf formats
      Fix printf warnings about incorrect argument types
      Use * precision notation instead of computing sprintf format strings
      libXfont 1.4.5

Gaetan Nadon (4):
      devbook.am: maintenance update from docbook.am
      docs: use the &fullrelvers; entity to set X11 release information
      doc: refactor legal text for multi licensing copyrights
      doc: fix typo in copyright statement

Joerg Sonnenberger (2):
      Do proper input validation to fix for CVE-2011-2895.
      Fix empty statement in if conditional.
