1 libxkbcommon 0.8.0 - UNRELEASED
3 - Add xkb_keysym_to_{upper,lower} to perform case-conversion directly on
4 keysyms. This is useful in some odd cases, but working with the Unicode
5 representations should be preferred when possible.
7 - Added Unicode conversion rules for the signifblank and permille keysyms.
14 libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04
17 - Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build
20 The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases.
21 Please try to convert to it and report any problems.
23 See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the
24 meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options,
25 and the PACKAGING file for more details.
27 There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build:
29 - Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are
30 enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of
31 the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature,
32 pass -Denable-<feature>=false to meson.
34 - The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified
35 by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both
36 versions are installed by default.
38 - xorg-util-macros is not used.
40 - A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no
41 fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is
44 - Removed Android.mk support.
46 - Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files.
48 - Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell
51 - Added new keysym definitions from xproto.
57 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset
60 libxkbcommon 0.7.1 - 2017-01-18
63 - Fixed various reported problems when the current locale is tr_TR.UTF-8.
65 The function xkb_keysym_from_name() used to perform case-insensitive
66 string comparisons in a locale-dependent way, but required it to to
67 work as in the C/ASCII locale (the so called "Turkish i problem").
69 The function is now no longer affected by the current locale.
71 - Fixed compilation in NetBSD.
74 libxkbcommon 0.7.0 - 2016-11-11
77 - Added support for different "modes" of calculating consumed modifiers.
78 The existing mode, based on the XKB standard, has proven to be
79 unintuitive in various shortcut implementations.
81 A new mode, based on the calculation used by the GTK toolkit, is added.
82 This mode is less eager to declare a modifier as consumed.
84 - Added a new interactive demo program using the Wayland protocol.
85 See the PACKAGING file for the new (optional) test dependencies.
87 - Fixed a compilation error on GNU Hurd.
90 enum xkb_consumed_mode
93 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods2
94 xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed2
97 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
100 - Added LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases.
102 - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation.
105 libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16
108 - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB
109 configuration root instead of the path determined at build time.
111 - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX.
113 - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally,
114 these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat
115 obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit).
117 The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
118 can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that
119 a key may have aliases.
121 - Documentation improvements.
124 xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
125 xkb_keymap_key_get_name()
128 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
131 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
132 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
133 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
135 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
137 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
139 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
141 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
142 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
143 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
144 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
146 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
147 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
148 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
150 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
151 affected). This affects binaries which
153 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
154 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
156 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
158 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
161 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
163 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
165 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
173 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
176 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
177 modifiers for some keymaps.
179 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
181 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
184 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
185 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
186 considering virtual modifier mappings.
187 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
189 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
190 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
193 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
194 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
197 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
200 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
201 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
203 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
204 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
206 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
207 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
209 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
210 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
211 the entire compilation succeeds.
212 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
214 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
216 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
217 size cannot exceed the required size.
220 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
223 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
224 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
227 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
228 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
229 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
230 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
232 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
233 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
234 is converted to an appropriate control character.
235 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
236 required by the XKB specification:
237 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
239 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
241 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
242 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
243 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
245 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
248 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
250 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
253 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
254 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
255 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
258 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
259 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
264 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
267 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
268 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
269 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
270 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
271 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
272 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
273 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
274 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
277 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
280 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
283 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
286 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
287 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
288 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
291 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
294 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
295 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
297 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
298 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
300 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
302 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
305 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
308 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
313 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03
316 - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
320 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
321 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
322 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
325 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
328 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
331 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
332 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
333 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
334 of layouts instead of failing.
336 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
337 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
339 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
342 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
343 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
344 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
347 xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
