Evdev

====================

- Add the ``UInput.from_device`` class method, which allows uinput device to be
created with the capabiltiies of one or more existing input devices::

ui = UInput.from_device('/dev/input1', '/dev/input2', **constructor_kwargs)

- Add the ``build_ecodes`` distutils command, which generates the ``ecodes.c``
extension module. The new way of overwriting the evdev header locations is::

python setup.py build \
build_ecodes --evdev-headers path/input.h:path/input-event-codes.h \
build_ext --include-dirs path/ \
install

The ``build*`` and ``install`` commands no longer have to be part of the same
command-line (i.e. running ``install`` will reuse the outputs of the last
``build``).

====================

- Disable tty echoing while evtest is running.
- Allow evtest to listen to more than one devices.

- The setup.py script now allows the location of the input header files to be
overwritten. For example::

python setup.py build_ext \
--evdev-headers path/input.h:path/input-event-codes.h \
--include-dirs path/ \
install

====================

- Asyncio and async/await support (many thanks to `paulo-raca`_).
- Add the ability to set the `phys` property of uinput devices (thanks `paulo-raca`_).
- Add a generic :func:`InputDevice.set` method (thanks `paulo-raca`_).
- Distribute the evtest script along with evdev.
- Fix issue with generating :mod:`ecodes.c` in recent kernels (``>= 4.4.0``).
- Fix absinfo item indexes in :func:`UInput.uinput_create()` (thanks `forsenonlhaimaisentito`_).
- More robust comparison of :class:`InputDevice` objects (thanks `isia`_).

====================

- Write access to the input device is no longer mandatory. Evdev will
first try to open the device for reading and writing and fallback to
read-only. Methods that require write access (e.g. :func:`set_led()`)
will raise :class:`EvdevError` if the device is open only for reading.

====================

- Fallback to distutils if setuptools is not available.

====================

- Rework documentation and docstrings once more.

- Fix install on Python 3.4 (works around issue21121_).

- Fix :func:`ioctl()` requested buffer size (thanks Jakub Wojciech Klama).
