Libinput 1.28 debuted today by Red Hat's input expert Peter Hutterer

With this updated input handling library used by both Wayland and X.Org Server environments there is now support for three-finger drag on touchpads. Libinput 1.28 also now properly tracks drawing tablet pressure range correctly on a per-tablet basis. Among the device quirks added in libinput 1.28 are for the Apple Magic Trackpad v2 (2024), Dell Haptics Touchpad, Razer Blade 18 2024 keyboard, ThinkPad X9 15 Gen 1 Forcepad, Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G7+ IAH, and Dell laptops with Goodix touchpads.
