libinput 1.28.0 is out, hot off the ... hotmaking things?
One new feature: three-finger drag for touchpads - that required a surprising amount of work though so please adjust your appreciation accordingly as you try it.
When enabled: three fingers down will trigger a mouse button click, moving the fingers will drag things around. Easier than tap-and-drag for many users.
