libspnav 1.0

Release 1.0 changelog:

• Added support for spacenav protocol v1.
• Added new API entry points, for the new capabilities introduced with protocol v1, including device queries, configuration management, new events, device identifier enumeration, etc.
• Added utility functions for processing spacenav motion inputs and computing transformation matrices for object or view manipulation.
• Added pkg-config file.
• Added new example program, showing how to use 6dof input to control the view for flying in a 3D scene. This complements the cube example which shows how to manipulate 3D objects. Ported both examples to use the new helper functions.
• Added API documentation under doc/manual.md

spacenavd 1.0

Changes in v1.0:

• Implemented hugely improved spacenav protocol v1. It includes future expandability provisions, and adds support for a wealth of new capabilities for clients, including:
• device information queries (number of buttons and axes, device identification...).
• configuration management (allows configuration tools like spnavcfg to be regular clients without special priviledges).
• new events, with event selection mechanism (device change, config change, raw axis, raw button).
• Improved configuration file handling. Spacenavd now saves changes to the file, and does so while retaining user changes, including comments and empty lines, and modifying existing lines when possible.
• Added device level axis remapping (non-configurable), to normalize axis assignments across all known devices, to avoid having to change the configuration every time a different device is connected.
• Added initial USB device support on FreeBSD.
• Added the ability to bind buttons to actions like sensitivity changes or axis muting.
• Added XTEST support for keyboard event injection, which works much more reliably. Falls back to XSendEvent if XTEST is unavailable.
• Fixed serial magellan spacemouse compatibility over USB-serial converters with the PL2303 UART.
• Added --cfgdir= build option, to change the configuration file directory.
• Fixed MacOS X build.
• Fixed LED staying on on startup if it was configured otherwise.
• Fixed inconsistent handling of the logging method selection arguments.
• Fixed spacenavd terminating with SIGPIPE when clients disconnected ungracefully.
• Build fixes and improvements.

spnavcfg 1.0

• Complete rewrite of spnavcfg in qt5, to work as a libspnav client using the configuration management API, without the need for elevated priviledges, or having to deal with the configuration file.
