1 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
4 - Add LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases.
6 - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation.
9 libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16
12 - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB
13 configuration root instead of the path determined at build time.
15 - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX.
17 - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally,
18 these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat
19 obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit).
21 The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
22 can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that
23 a key may have aliases.
25 - Documentation improvements.
28 xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
29 xkb_keymap_key_get_name()
32 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
35 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
36 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
37 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
39 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
41 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
43 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
45 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
46 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
47 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
48 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
50 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
51 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
52 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
54 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
55 affected). This affects binaries which
57 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
58 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
60 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
62 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
65 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
67 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
69 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
77 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
80 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
81 modifiers for some keymaps.
83 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
85 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
88 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
89 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
90 considering virtual modifier mappings.
91 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
93 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
94 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
97 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
98 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
101 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
104 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
105 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
107 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
108 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
110 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
111 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
113 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
114 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
115 the entire compilation succeeds.
116 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
118 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
120 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
121 size cannot exceed the required size.
124 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
127 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
128 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
131 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
132 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
133 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
134 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
136 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
137 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
138 is converted to an appropriate control character.
139 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
140 required by the XKB specification:
141 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
143 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
145 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
146 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
147 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
149 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
152 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
154 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
157 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
158 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
159 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
162 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
163 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
168 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
171 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
172 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
173 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
174 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
175 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
176 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
177 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
178 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
181 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
184 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
187 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
190 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
191 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
192 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
195 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
198 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
199 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
201 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
202 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
204 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
206 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
209 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
212 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
217 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03
220 - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
224 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
225 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
226 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
229 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
232 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
235 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
236 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
237 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
238 of layouts instead of failing.
240 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
241 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
243 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
246 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
247 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
248 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
251 xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
