6 - Fix building using meson from the tarball generated by autotools.
9 libxkbcommon 0.8.3 - 2019-02-08
12 - Fix build of static libraries with meson.
13 (Future note: xkbcommon-x11 was *not* fixed in this release.)
16 XKB_KEY_XF86MonBrightnessCycle
17 XKB_KEY_XF86RotationLockToggle
20 libxkbcommon 0.8.2 - 2018-08-05
23 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing (see commit messages for
26 - Fix a few NULL-dereferences, out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior
27 in the XKB text format parser.
30 libxkbcommon 0.8.1 - 2018-08-03
33 - Fix various problems found in the meson build (see commit messages for more
36 - Fix compilation on Darwin.
38 - Fix compilation of the x11 tests and demos when XCB is installed in a
39 non-standard location.
41 - Fix xkbcommon-x11.pc missing the Requires specification.
43 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing and Coverity (see commit messages for
46 - Fix stack overflow in the XKB text format parser when evaluating boolean
49 - Fix NULL-dereferences in the XKB text format parser when some unsupported
50 tokens appear (the tokens are still parsed for backward compatibility).
52 - Fix NULL-dereference in the XKB text format parser when parsing an
55 - Fix an infinite loop in the Compose text format parser on some inputs.
57 - Fix an invalid free() when using multiple keysyms.
59 - Replace the Unicode characters for the leftanglebracket and rightanglebracket
60 keysyms from the deprecated LEFT/RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET to
61 MATHEMATICAL LEFT/RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET.
63 - Reject out-of-range Unicode codepoints in xkb_keysym_to_utf8 and
67 libxkbcommon 0.8.0 - 2017-12-15
70 - Added xkb_keysym_to_{upper,lower} to perform case-conversion directly on
71 keysyms. This is useful in some odd cases, but working with the Unicode
72 representations should be preferred when possible.
74 - Added Unicode conversion rules for the signifblank and permille keysyms.
76 - Fixed a bug in the parsing of XKB key type definitions where the number
77 of levels were determined by the number of level *names*. Keymaps which
78 omit level names were hence miscompiled.
80 This regressed in version 0.4.3. Keymaps from xkeyboard-config were not
81 affected since they don't omit level names.
88 libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04
91 - Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build
94 The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases.
95 Please try to convert to it and report any problems.
97 See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the
98 meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options,
99 and the PACKAGING file for more details.
101 There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build:
103 - Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are
104 enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of
105 the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature,
106 pass -Denable-<feature>=false to meson.
108 - The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified
109 by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both
110 versions are installed by default.
112 - xorg-util-macros is not used.
114 - A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no
115 fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is
118 - Removed Android.mk support.
120 - Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files.
122 - Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell
125 - Added new keysym definitions from xproto.
131 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset
134 libxkbcommon 0.7.1 - 2017-01-18
137 - Fixed various reported problems when the current locale is tr_TR.UTF-8.
139 The function xkb_keysym_from_name() used to perform case-insensitive
140 string comparisons in a locale-dependent way, but required it to to
141 work as in the C/ASCII locale (the so called "Turkish i problem").
143 The function is now no longer affected by the current locale.
145 - Fixed compilation in NetBSD.
148 libxkbcommon 0.7.0 - 2016-11-11
151 - Added support for different "modes" of calculating consumed modifiers.
152 The existing mode, based on the XKB standard, has proven to be
153 unintuitive in various shortcut implementations.
155 A new mode, based on the calculation used by the GTK toolkit, is added.
156 This mode is less eager to declare a modifier as consumed.
158 - Added a new interactive demo program using the Wayland protocol.
159 See the PACKAGING file for the new (optional) test dependencies.
161 - Fixed a compilation error on GNU Hurd.
164 enum xkb_consumed_mode
165 XKB_CONSUMED_MODE_XKB
166 XKB_CONSUMED_MODE_GTK
167 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods2
168 xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed2
171 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
174 - Added LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases.
176 - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation.
179 libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16
182 - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB
183 configuration root instead of the path determined at build time.
185 - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX.
187 - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally,
188 these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat
189 obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit).
191 The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
192 can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that
193 a key may have aliases.
195 - Documentation improvements.
198 xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
199 xkb_keymap_key_get_name()
202 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
205 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
206 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
207 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
209 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
211 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
213 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
215 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
216 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
217 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
218 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
220 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
221 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
222 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
224 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
225 affected). This affects binaries which
227 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
228 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
230 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
232 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
235 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
237 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
239 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
247 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
250 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
251 modifiers for some keymaps.
253 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
255 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
258 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
259 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
260 considering virtual modifier mappings.
261 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
263 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
264 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
267 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
268 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
271 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
274 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
275 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
277 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
278 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
280 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
281 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
283 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
284 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
285 the entire compilation succeeds.
286 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
288 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
290 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
291 size cannot exceed the required size.
294 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
297 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
298 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
301 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
302 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
303 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
304 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
306 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
307 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
308 is converted to an appropriate control character.
309 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
310 required by the XKB specification:
311 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
313 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
315 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
316 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
317 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
319 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
322 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
324 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
327 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
328 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
329 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
332 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
333 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
338 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
341 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
342 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
343 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
344 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
345 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
346 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
347 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
348 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
351 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
354 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
357 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
360 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
361 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
362 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
365 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
368 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
369 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
371 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
372 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
374 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
376 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
379 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
382 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
387 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03
390 - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
394 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
395 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
396 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
399 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
402 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
405 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
406 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
407 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
408 of layouts instead of failing.
410 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
411 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
413 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
416 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
417 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
418 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
421 xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
