Release 0.8.6 has been posted. It has the following new features: Support kernels up to 2.6.35. Support X server up to 1.6.4. Support serial and USB Tablet PCs with two finger touch. Support 5 new Bamboo devices.
can i request a bump for 0.8.8?
You can, but please be aware that given xorg-server-1.7 is stable and I don't have a system running 1.6.5 (so can't test it), it will need someone else with the equipment and setup to test and bump this package. Sorry... 5:(
Reassigning since I can't look after linuxwacom any more.
erm, i actually don't need this, because xf86-input-wacom takes over after 1.7, as you've noted. so yeah...
linuxwacom was removed from main tree.
