4 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
5 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
8 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
9 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
10 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
11 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
13 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
14 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
15 is converted to an appropriate control character.
16 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
17 required by the XKB specification:

20 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
22 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
23 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
24 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
26 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
29 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
31 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
34 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
35 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
36 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
39 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
40 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
47 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
48 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
49 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
50 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
51 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
52 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
53 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
54 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
57 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
60 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
63 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
66 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
67 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
68 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
74 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
75 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
77 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
78 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
80 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
82 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
85 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
88 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
96 - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
100 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
101 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
102 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
108 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
111 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
112 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
113 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
114 of layouts instead of failing.
116 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
117 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
119 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
122 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
123 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
124 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
127 xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
