1 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
4 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
5 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
6 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
8 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
10 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
12 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
14 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
15 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
16 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
17 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
19 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
20 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
21 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
23 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
24 affected). This affects binaries which
26 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
27 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
29 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
31 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
34 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
36 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
38 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
45 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
48 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
49 modifiers for some keymaps.
51 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
53 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
56 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
57 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
58 considering virtual modifier mappings.
59 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
61 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
62 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
65 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
66 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
68 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
71 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
72 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
74 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
75 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
77 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
78 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
80 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
81 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
82 the entire compilation succeeds.
83 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
85 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
87 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
88 size cannot exceed the required size.
90 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
93 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
94 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
97 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
98 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
99 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
100 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
102 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
103 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
104 is converted to an appropriate control character.
105 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
106 required by the XKB specification:
107 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
109 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
111 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
112 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
113 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
115 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
118 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
120 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
123 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
124 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
125 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
128 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
129 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
133 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
136 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
137 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
138 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
139 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
140 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
141 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
142 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
143 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
146 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
149 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
152 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
155 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
156 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
157 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
160 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
163 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
164 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
166 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
167 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
169 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
171 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
174 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
177 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
182 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03
185 - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
189 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
190 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
191 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
194 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
197 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
200 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
201 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
202 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
203 of layouts instead of failing.
205 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
206 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
208 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
211 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
212 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
213 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
216 xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
