1 libxkbcommon 0.8.0 - 2017-12-15
4 - Added xkb_keysym_to_{upper,lower} to perform case-conversion directly on
5 keysyms. This is useful in some odd cases, but working with the Unicode
6 representations should be preferred when possible.
8 - Added Unicode conversion rules for the signifblank and permille keysyms.
10 - Fixed a bug in the parsing of XKB key type definitions where the number
11 of levels were determined by the number of level *names*. Keymaps which
12 omit level names were hence miscompiled.
14 This regressed in version 0.4.3. Keymaps from xkeyboard-config were not
15 affected since they don't omit level names.
21 libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04
24 - Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build
27 The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases.
28 Please try to convert to it and report any problems.
30 See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the
31 meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options,
32 and the PACKAGING file for more details.
34 There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build:
36 - Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are
37 enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of
38 the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature,
39 pass -Denable-<feature>=false to meson.
41 - The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified
42 by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both
43 versions are installed by default.
45 - xorg-util-macros is not used.
47 - A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no
48 fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is
51 - Removed Android.mk support.
53 - Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files.
55 - Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell
58 - Added new keysym definitions from xproto.
64 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset
67 libxkbcommon 0.7.1 - 2017-01-18
70 - Fixed various reported problems when the current locale is tr_TR.UTF-8.
72 The function xkb_keysym_from_name() used to perform case-insensitive
73 string comparisons in a locale-dependent way, but required it to to
74 work as in the C/ASCII locale (the so called "Turkish i problem").
76 The function is now no longer affected by the current locale.
78 - Fixed compilation in NetBSD.
81 libxkbcommon 0.7.0 - 2016-11-11
84 - Added support for different "modes" of calculating consumed modifiers.
85 The existing mode, based on the XKB standard, has proven to be
86 unintuitive in various shortcut implementations.
88 A new mode, based on the calculation used by the GTK toolkit, is added.
89 This mode is less eager to declare a modifier as consumed.
91 - Added a new interactive demo program using the Wayland protocol.
92 See the PACKAGING file for the new (optional) test dependencies.
94 - Fixed a compilation error on GNU Hurd.
97 enum xkb_consumed_mode
100 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods2
101 xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed2
104 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
107 - Added LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases.
109 - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation.
112 libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16
115 - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB
116 configuration root instead of the path determined at build time.
118 - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX.
120 - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally,
121 these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat
122 obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit).
124 The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
125 can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that
126 a key may have aliases.
128 - Documentation improvements.
131 xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
132 xkb_keymap_key_get_name()
135 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
138 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
139 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
140 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
142 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
144 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
146 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
148 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
149 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
150 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
151 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
153 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
154 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
155 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
157 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
158 affected). This affects binaries which
160 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
161 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
163 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
165 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
168 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
170 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
172 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
180 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
183 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
184 modifiers for some keymaps.
186 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
188 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
191 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
192 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
193 considering virtual modifier mappings.
194 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
196 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
197 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
200 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
201 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
204 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
207 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
208 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
210 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
211 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
213 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
214 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
216 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
217 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
218 the entire compilation succeeds.
219 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
221 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
223 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
224 size cannot exceed the required size.
227 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
230 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
231 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
234 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
235 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
236 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
237 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
239 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
240 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
241 is converted to an appropriate control character.
242 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
243 required by the XKB specification:
244 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
246 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
248 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
249 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
250 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
252 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
255 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
257 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
260 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
261 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
262 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
265 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
266 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
271 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
274 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
275 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
276 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
277 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
278 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
279 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
280 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
281 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
284 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
287 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
290 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
293 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
294 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
295 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
298 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
301 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
302 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
304 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
305 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
307 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
309 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
312 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
315 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
320 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03
323 - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
327 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
328 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
329 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
332 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
335 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
338 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
339 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
340 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
341 of layouts instead of failing.
343 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
344 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
346 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
349 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
350 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
351 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
354 xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
