244. By Marc Deslauriers on 2013-04-11

* SECURITY UPDATE: input event leak via inactive VT
  - debian/patches/CVE-2013-1940.patch: fix flush input to work with
    Linux evdev devices in hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/posix_tty.c.
  - CVE-2013-1940

243. By Bryce Harrington on 2012-07-16

* Revert changes from 10.2 and 10.3 (and the unreleased SRU 10.4). 10.2
  attempted to fix bug 968845, but this caused the xserver to crash
  under rare conditions (1009629). 10.3 attempted to fix that crash,
  but resulted in a more commonly seen crash such as when using GIMP.
  (LP: #1021517)
* Rename patch 509_log-format-fix.patch to 228_log-format-fix.patch,
  to reserve the 5xx numbering for input stack patches.

242. By Steve Beattie on 2012-07-09

* SECURITY UPDATE: do not use input device names in logging format
  strings (LP: #996250):
  - debian/patches/509_log-format-fix.patch: backported upstream changes.
  - CVE-2012-2118

241. By Chase Douglas on 2012-04-04

240. By Chase Douglas on 2012-04-03

* Report button press when touchscreen touch is active (LP: #972985)
  - Add temporary patch 505_query_pointer_touchscreen.patch

239. By Chase Douglas on 2012-03-29

[ Chase Douglas ]

  - Revert two commits from upstream 1.12 input stack

[ Bryce Harrington ]
* debian/patches/227_null_ptr_midispcur.patch:
  - Check for NULL pointer before dereferencing pointer from
    miGetDCDevice. Fixes crash after connecting a bluetooth keyboard.
    (LP: #930936)

[ Chase Douglas ]
* Fix mouse warping and clipping (LP: #948938)
  - Add temporary patch 503_fix_mouse_warp.patch
* Implement passive touch ungrab (LP: #968726)
  - Add temporary patch 503_implement_passive_touch_ungrab.patch
* Bump lintian standards to 3.9.3

238. By Ricardo Salveti on 2012-03-20

* debian/patches/111_armel-drv-fallbacks.patch:
  - Avoid loading the driver to test if it's available. Xorg will later load
    and validate the module, and if it's already loaded it'll trigger an
    error and invalidate the driver (LP: #959928)

237. By Chris Halse Rogers on 2012-03-09

* debian/patches/500_pointer_barrier_thresholds.diff:
  - Don't try to send events from the context of the SIGIO handler. That
    leads to the dark side, or at least to server freezes when trying to
    reveal the launcher in Unity (LP: #946954). May also fix other seemingly
    random X server crashes.
  - Add build-time tests to make check for barrier behaviour. These are
    disabled, pending gtest, xorg-gtest, and xserver-xorg-video-dummy MIRs.

235. By Chris Halse Rogers on 2012-02-21

* debian/patches/500_pointer_barrier_thresholds.diff:
  - Make the velocity calculation more robust on screen edges. Fixes reveal
    behaviour on nVidia 295.20 driver, which now clamps the pointer to the
    visible screen area. (LP: #937792)
