Palm detection when typing for me seems worse in 0.5.0 than in 0.4.1. I don't quite know how to test this, it’s just something that annoys me, and I downgraded and upgraded a few times to see what was going on. Please let me know if there is a way I can provide some info for debugging.

Try adding the "MaxTapMove" option to your list. The lower the number, the more precise you'll need to be with your taps. You'll need to do a balancing act between the palm rejection and the tap behavior. After trying different values, "Option" "MaxTapMove" "45" seems to work best for me for now. There is also the "DisableOnPalm" option, but it didn't do much by itself.
