1 libxkbcommon 0.9.0 - 2019-10-19
4 - Move ~/.xkb to before XKB_CONFIG_ROOT (the system XKB path, usually
5 /usr/share/X11/xkb) in the default include path. This enables the user
6 to have full control of the keymap definitions, instead of only augmenting
9 - Remove the Autotools build system. Use the meson build system instead.
11 - Fix invalid names used for levels above 8 when dumping keymaps. Previously,
12 e.g. "Level20" was dumped, but only up to "Level8" is accepted by the
13 parser. Now "20" is dumped.
15 - Change level references to always be dumped as e.g. "5" instead of "Level5".
17 Change group references to always be dumped capitalized e.g. "Group3" instead
18 of "group3". Previously it was inconsistent.
20 These changes affect the output of xkb_keymap_get_as_string().
22 - Fix several build issues on macOS/Darwin, Solaris, NetBSD, cross compilation.
24 - Port the interactive-wayland test program to the stable version of xdg-shell.
27 libxkbcommon 0.8.4 - 2019-02-22
30 - Fix build of xkbcommon-x11 static library with meson.
32 - Fix building using meson from the tarball generated by autotools.
35 libxkbcommon 0.8.3 - 2019-02-08
38 - Fix build of static libraries with meson.
39 (Future note: xkbcommon-x11 was *not* fixed in this release.)
42 XKB_KEY_XF86MonBrightnessCycle
43 XKB_KEY_XF86RotationLockToggle
46 libxkbcommon 0.8.2 - 2018-08-05
49 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing (see commit messages for
52 - Fix a few NULL-dereferences, out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior
53 in the XKB text format parser.
56 libxkbcommon 0.8.1 - 2018-08-03
59 - Fix various problems found in the meson build (see commit messages for more
62 - Fix compilation on Darwin.
64 - Fix compilation of the x11 tests and demos when XCB is installed in a
65 non-standard location.
67 - Fix xkbcommon-x11.pc missing the Requires specification.
69 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing and Coverity (see commit messages for
72 - Fix stack overflow in the XKB text format parser when evaluating boolean
75 - Fix NULL-dereferences in the XKB text format parser when some unsupported
76 tokens appear (the tokens are still parsed for backward compatibility).
78 - Fix NULL-dereference in the XKB text format parser when parsing an
81 - Fix an infinite loop in the Compose text format parser on some inputs.
83 - Fix an invalid free() when using multiple keysyms.
85 - Replace the Unicode characters for the leftanglebracket and rightanglebracket
86 keysyms from the deprecated LEFT/RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET to
87 MATHEMATICAL LEFT/RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET.
89 - Reject out-of-range Unicode codepoints in xkb_keysym_to_utf8 and
93 libxkbcommon 0.8.0 - 2017-12-15
96 - Added xkb_keysym_to_{upper,lower} to perform case-conversion directly on
97 keysyms. This is useful in some odd cases, but working with the Unicode
98 representations should be preferred when possible.
100 - Added Unicode conversion rules for the signifblank and permille keysyms.
102 - Fixed a bug in the parsing of XKB key type definitions where the number
103 of levels were determined by the number of level *names*. Keymaps which
104 omit level names were hence miscompiled.
106 This regressed in version 0.4.3. Keymaps from xkeyboard-config were not
107 affected since they don't omit level names.
110 xkb_keysym_to_upper()
111 xkb_keysym_to_lower()
114 libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04
117 - Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build
120 The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases.
121 Please try to convert to it and report any problems.
123 See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the
124 meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options,
125 and the PACKAGING file for more details.
127 There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build:
129 - Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are
130 enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of
131 the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature,
132 pass -Denable-<feature>=false to meson.
134 - The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified
135 by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both
136 versions are installed by default.
138 - xorg-util-macros is not used.
140 - A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no
141 fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is
144 - Removed Android.mk support.
146 - Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files.
148 - Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell
151 - Added new keysym definitions from xproto.
157 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset
160 libxkbcommon 0.7.1 - 2017-01-18
163 - Fixed various reported problems when the current locale is tr_TR.UTF-8.
165 The function xkb_keysym_from_name() used to perform case-insensitive
166 string comparisons in a locale-dependent way, but required it to to
167 work as in the C/ASCII locale (the so called "Turkish i problem").
169 The function is now no longer affected by the current locale.
171 - Fixed compilation in NetBSD.
174 libxkbcommon 0.7.0 - 2016-11-11
177 - Added support for different "modes" of calculating consumed modifiers.
178 The existing mode, based on the XKB standard, has proven to be
179 unintuitive in various shortcut implementations.
181 A new mode, based on the calculation used by the GTK toolkit, is added.
182 This mode is less eager to declare a modifier as consumed.
184 - Added a new interactive demo program using the Wayland protocol.
185 See the PACKAGING file for the new (optional) test dependencies.
187 - Fixed a compilation error on GNU Hurd.
190 enum xkb_consumed_mode
191 XKB_CONSUMED_MODE_XKB
192 XKB_CONSUMED_MODE_GTK
193 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods2
194 xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed2
197 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
200 - Added LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases.
202 - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation.
205 libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16
208 - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB
209 configuration root instead of the path determined at build time.
211 - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX.
213 - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally,
214 these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat
215 obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit).
217 The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
218 can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that
219 a key may have aliases.
221 - Documentation improvements.
224 xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
225 xkb_keymap_key_get_name()
228 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
231 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
232 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
233 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
235 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
237 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
239 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
241 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
242 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
243 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
244 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
246 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
247 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
248 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
250 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
251 affected). This affects binaries which
253 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
254 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
256 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
258 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
261 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
263 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
265 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
273 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
276 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
277 modifiers for some keymaps.
279 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
281 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
284 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
285 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
286 considering virtual modifier mappings.
287 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
289 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
290 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
293 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
294 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
297 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
300 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
301 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
303 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
304 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
306 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
307 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
309 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
310 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
311 the entire compilation succeeds.
312 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
314 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
316 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
317 size cannot exceed the required size.
320 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
323 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
324 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
327 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
328 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
329 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
330 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
332 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
333 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
334 is converted to an appropriate control character.
335 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
336 required by the XKB specification:
337 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
339 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
341 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
342 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
343 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
345 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
348 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
350 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
353 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
354 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
355 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
358 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
359 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
364 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
367 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
368 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
369 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
370 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
371 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
372 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
373 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
374 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
377 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
380 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
383 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
386 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
387 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
388 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
391 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
394 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
395 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
397 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
398 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
400 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
402 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
405 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
408 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
413 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03
416 - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
420 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
421 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
422 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
425 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
428 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
431 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
432 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
433 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
434 of layouts instead of failing.
436 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
437 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
439 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
442 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
443 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
444 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
447 xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
