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

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

386 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
387 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
390 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
393 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
396 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
397 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
398 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
399 of layouts instead of failing.
401 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
402 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
404 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
407 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
408 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
409 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
