to xorg-announce, xorg
First stable update to synaptics 1.7 is now available.
User-visible changes:
- soft button areas may overlap on the edge, so a configuration of
  e.g.middle button 33%-66% and right button 66%-0 is now valid.
- man page fix to avoid confusion between 0 and 0% on button configuration

This release also includes the fix for stack smash caused by Apple
MagicTrackpads.

Peter Hutterer (7):
      Improve readability of the soft button areas
      man: clarify that 0, not 0% disables the softbutton area
      Allow soft button areas to overlap on the edge
      Fix stack smash in clickpad_guess_clickfingers()
      Plug memory leak for option_string
      Plug memory leak for priv->touch_axes
      synaptics 1.7.1

We have a synaptics in repo but it was for an older xorg

If anyone has a laptop etc that uses synaptics feel free to ask current maintainer (Juanito) to update?

cheers

The synaptics driver is in the Xorg-7.6 extension - that's why the synaptics extension was dropped in the current repo
