1 libxkbcommon 0.8.1 - 2018-08-03
4 - Fix various problems found in the meson build (see commit messages for more
7 - Fix compilation on Darwin.
9 - Fix compilation of the x11 tests and demos when XCB is installed in a
10 non-standard location.
12 - Fix xkbcommon-x11.pc missing the Requires specification.
14 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing and Coverity (see commit messages for
17 - Fix stack overflow in the XKB text format parser when evaluating boolean
20 - Fix NULL-dereferences in the XKB text format parser when some unsupported
21 tokens appear (the tokens are still parsed for backward compatibility).
23 - Fix NULL-dereference in the XKB text format parser when parsing an
26 - Fix an infinite loop in the Compose text format parser on some inputs.
28 - Fix an invalid free() when using multiple keysyms.
30 - Replace the Unicode characters for the leftanglebracket and rightanglebracket
31 keysyms from the deprecated LEFT/RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET to
32 MATHEMATICAL LEFT/RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET.
34 - Reject out-of-range Unicode codepoints in xkb_keysym_to_utf8 and
38 libxkbcommon 0.8.0 - 2017-12-15
41 - Added xkb_keysym_to_{upper,lower} to perform case-conversion directly on
42 keysyms. This is useful in some odd cases, but working with the Unicode
43 representations should be preferred when possible.
45 - Added Unicode conversion rules for the signifblank and permille keysyms.
47 - Fixed a bug in the parsing of XKB key type definitions where the number
48 of levels were determined by the number of level *names*. Keymaps which
49 omit level names were hence miscompiled.
51 This regressed in version 0.4.3. Keymaps from xkeyboard-config were not
52 affected since they don't omit level names.
59 libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04
62 - Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build
65 The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases.
66 Please try to convert to it and report any problems.
68 See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the
69 meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options,
70 and the PACKAGING file for more details.
72 There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build:
74 - Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are
75 enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of
76 the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature,
77 pass -Denable-<feature>=false to meson.
79 - The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified
80 by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both
81 versions are installed by default.
83 - xorg-util-macros is not used.
85 - A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no
86 fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is
89 - Removed Android.mk support.
91 - Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files.
93 - Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell
96 - Added new keysym definitions from xproto.
102 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset
105 libxkbcommon 0.7.1 - 2017-01-18
108 - Fixed various reported problems when the current locale is tr_TR.UTF-8.
110 The function xkb_keysym_from_name() used to perform case-insensitive
111 string comparisons in a locale-dependent way, but required it to to
112 work as in the C/ASCII locale (the so called "Turkish i problem").
114 The function is now no longer affected by the current locale.
116 - Fixed compilation in NetBSD.
119 libxkbcommon 0.7.0 - 2016-11-11
122 - Added support for different "modes" of calculating consumed modifiers.
123 The existing mode, based on the XKB standard, has proven to be
124 unintuitive in various shortcut implementations.
126 A new mode, based on the calculation used by the GTK toolkit, is added.
127 This mode is less eager to declare a modifier as consumed.
129 - Added a new interactive demo program using the Wayland protocol.
130 See the PACKAGING file for the new (optional) test dependencies.
132 - Fixed a compilation error on GNU Hurd.

142 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
145 - Added LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases.
147 - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation.
150 libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16
153 - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB
154 configuration root instead of the path determined at build time.
156 - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX.
158 - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally,
159 these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat
160 obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit).
162 The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
163 can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that
164 a key may have aliases.
166 - Documentation improvements.
169 xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
170 xkb_keymap_key_get_name()
173 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
176 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
177 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
178 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
180 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
182 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
184 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
186 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
187 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
188 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
189 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
191 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
192 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
193 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
195 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
196 affected). This affects binaries which
198 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
199 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
201 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
203 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
206 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
208 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
210 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
218 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
221 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
222 modifiers for some keymaps.
224 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
226 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
229 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
230 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
231 considering virtual modifier mappings.
232 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
234 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
235 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
238 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
239 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
242 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
245 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
246 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
248 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
249 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
251 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
252 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
254 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
255 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
256 the entire compilation succeeds.
257 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
259 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
261 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
262 size cannot exceed the required size.
265 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
268 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
269 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
272 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
273 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
274 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
275 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
277 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
278 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
279 is converted to an appropriate control character.
280 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
281 required by the XKB specification:
282 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
284 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
286 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
287 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
288 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
290 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
293 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
295 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
298 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
299 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
300 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
303 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
304 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
309 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
312 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
313 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
314 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
315 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
316 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
317 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
318 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
319 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
322 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
325 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
328 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
331 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
332 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
333 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
336 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
339 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
340 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
342 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
343 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
345 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
347 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
350 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
353 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
358 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03

365 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
366 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
367 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
370 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
373 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
376 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
377 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
378 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
379 of layouts instead of failing.
381 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
382 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
384 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
387 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
388 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
389 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
