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
46 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
49 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
50 modifiers for some keymaps.
52 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
54 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
57 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
58 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
59 considering virtual modifier mappings.
60 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
62 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
63 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
66 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
67 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
70 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
73 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
74 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
76 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
77 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
79 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
80 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
82 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
83 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
84 the entire compilation succeeds.
85 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
87 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
89 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
90 size cannot exceed the required size.
93 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
96 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
97 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
100 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
101 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
102 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
103 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
105 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
106 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
107 is converted to an appropriate control character.
108 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
109 required by the XKB specification:
110 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
112 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
114 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
115 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
116 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
118 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
121 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
123 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
126 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
127 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
128 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
131 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
132 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
137 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
140 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
141 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
142 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
143 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
144 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
145 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
146 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
147 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
150 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
153 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
156 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
159 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
160 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
161 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
164 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
167 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
168 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
170 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
171 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
173 http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
175 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
178 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
181 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
186 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03
189 - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
193 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
194 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
195 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
198 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
201 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
204 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
205 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
206 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
207 of layouts instead of failing.
209 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
210 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
212 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
215 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
216 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
217 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
220 xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
