1 libxkbcommon 0.9.1 - 2019-10-19
4 - Fix context creation failing when run in privileged processes as defined by
5 `secure_getenv(3)`, e.g. GDM.
8 libxkbcommon 0.9.0 - 2019-10-19
11 - Move ~/.xkb to before XKB_CONFIG_ROOT (the system XKB path, usually
12 /usr/share/X11/xkb) in the default include path. This enables the user
13 to have full control of the keymap definitions, instead of only augmenting
16 - Remove the Autotools build system. Use the meson build system instead.
18 - Fix invalid names used for levels above 8 when dumping keymaps. Previously,
19 e.g. "Level20" was dumped, but only up to "Level8" is accepted by the
20 parser. Now "20" is dumped.
22 - Change level references to always be dumped as e.g. "5" instead of "Level5".
24 Change group references to always be dumped capitalized e.g. "Group3" instead
25 of "group3". Previously it was inconsistent.
27 These changes affect the output of xkb_keymap_get_as_string().
29 - Fix several build issues on macOS/Darwin, Solaris, NetBSD, cross compilation.
31 - Port the interactive-wayland test program to the stable version of xdg-shell.
34 libxkbcommon 0.8.4 - 2019-02-22
37 - Fix build of xkbcommon-x11 static library with meson.
39 - Fix building using meson from the tarball generated by autotools.
42 libxkbcommon 0.8.3 - 2019-02-08
45 - Fix build of static libraries with meson.
46 (Future note: xkbcommon-x11 was *not* fixed in this release.)

53 libxkbcommon 0.8.2 - 2018-08-05
56 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing (see commit messages for
59 - Fix a few NULL-dereferences, out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior
60 in the XKB text format parser.
63 libxkbcommon 0.8.1 - 2018-08-03
66 - Fix various problems found in the meson build (see commit messages for more
69 - Fix compilation on Darwin.
71 - Fix compilation of the x11 tests and demos when XCB is installed in a
72 non-standard location.
74 - Fix xkbcommon-x11.pc missing the Requires specification.
76 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing and Coverity (see commit messages for
79 - Fix stack overflow in the XKB text format parser when evaluating boolean
82 - Fix NULL-dereferences in the XKB text format parser when some unsupported
83 tokens appear (the tokens are still parsed for backward compatibility).
85 - Fix NULL-dereference in the XKB text format parser when parsing an
88 - Fix an infinite loop in the Compose text format parser on some inputs.
90 - Fix an invalid free() when using multiple keysyms.
92 - Replace the Unicode characters for the leftanglebracket and rightanglebracket
93 keysyms from the deprecated LEFT/RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET to
94 MATHEMATICAL LEFT/RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET.
96 - Reject out-of-range Unicode codepoints in xkb_keysym_to_utf8 and
100 libxkbcommon 0.8.0 - 2017-12-15
103 - Added xkb_keysym_to_{upper,lower} to perform case-conversion directly on
104 keysyms. This is useful in some odd cases, but working with the Unicode
105 representations should be preferred when possible.
107 - Added Unicode conversion rules for the signifblank and permille keysyms.
109 - Fixed a bug in the parsing of XKB key type definitions where the number
110 of levels were determined by the number of level *names*. Keymaps which
111 omit level names were hence miscompiled.
113 This regressed in version 0.4.3. Keymaps from xkeyboard-config were not
114 affected since they don't omit level names.
117 xkb_keysym_to_upper()
118 xkb_keysym_to_lower()
121 libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04
124 - Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build
127 The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases.
128 Please try to convert to it and report any problems.
130 See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the
131 meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options,
132 and the PACKAGING file for more details.
134 There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build:
136 - Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are
137 enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of
138 the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature,
139 pass -Denable-<feature>=false to meson.
141 - The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified
142 by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both
143 versions are installed by default.
145 - xorg-util-macros is not used.
147 - A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no
148 fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is
151 - Removed Android.mk support.
153 - Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files.
155 - Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell
158 - Added new keysym definitions from xproto.
164 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset
167 libxkbcommon 0.7.1 - 2017-01-18
170 - Fixed various reported problems when the current locale is tr_TR.UTF-8.
172 The function xkb_keysym_from_name() used to perform case-insensitive
173 string comparisons in a locale-dependent way, but required it to to
174 work as in the C/ASCII locale (the so called "Turkish i problem").
176 The function is now no longer affected by the current locale.
178 - Fixed compilation in NetBSD.
181 libxkbcommon 0.7.0 - 2016-11-11
184 - Added support for different "modes" of calculating consumed modifiers.
185 The existing mode, based on the XKB standard, has proven to be
186 unintuitive in various shortcut implementations.
188 A new mode, based on the calculation used by the GTK toolkit, is added.
189 This mode is less eager to declare a modifier as consumed.
191 - Added a new interactive demo program using the Wayland protocol.
192 See the PACKAGING file for the new (optional) test dependencies.
194 - Fixed a compilation error on GNU Hurd.
197 enum xkb_consumed_mode

201 xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed2
204 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
207 - Added LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases.
209 - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation.
212 libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16
215 - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB
216 configuration root instead of the path determined at build time.
218 - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX.
220 - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally,
221 these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat
222 obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit).
224 The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
225 can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that
226 a key may have aliases.
228 - Documentation improvements.
231 xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
232 xkb_keymap_key_get_name()
235 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
238 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
239 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
240 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
242 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
244 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
246 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
248 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
249 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
250 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
251 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
253 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
254 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
255 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
257 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
258 affected). This affects binaries which
260 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
261 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
263 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
265 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
268 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
270 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
272 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
280 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
283 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
284 modifiers for some keymaps.
286 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
288 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
291 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
292 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
293 considering virtual modifier mappings.
294 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
296 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
297 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
300 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
301 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
304 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
307 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
308 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
310 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
311 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
313 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
314 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
316 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
317 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
318 the entire compilation succeeds.
319 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
321 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
323 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
324 size cannot exceed the required size.
327 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
330 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
331 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
334 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
335 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
336 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
337 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
339 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
340 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
341 is converted to an appropriate control character.
342 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
343 required by the XKB specification:
344 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
346 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
348 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
349 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
350 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
352 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
355 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
357 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
360 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
361 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
362 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
365 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
366 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
371 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
374 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
375 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
376 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
377 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
378 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
379 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
380 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
381 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
384 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
387 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
390 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
393 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
394 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
395 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
398 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
401 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
402 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
404 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
405 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
407 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
409 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.

415 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
420 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03

428 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
429 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
432 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
435 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
438 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
439 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
440 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
441 of layouts instead of failing.
443 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
444 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
446 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
449 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
450 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
451 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
454 xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
