1 libxkbcommon 0.8.2 - 2018-08-05
4 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing (see commit messages for
7 - Fix a few NULL-dereferences, out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior
8 in the XKB text format parser.
11 libxkbcommon 0.8.1 - 2018-08-03
14 - Fix various problems found in the meson build (see commit messages for more
17 - Fix compilation on Darwin.
19 - Fix compilation of the x11 tests and demos when XCB is installed in a
20 non-standard location.
22 - Fix xkbcommon-x11.pc missing the Requires specification.
24 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing and Coverity (see commit messages for
27 - Fix stack overflow in the XKB text format parser when evaluating boolean
30 - Fix NULL-dereferences in the XKB text format parser when some unsupported
31 tokens appear (the tokens are still parsed for backward compatibility).
33 - Fix NULL-dereference in the XKB text format parser when parsing an
36 - Fix an infinite loop in the Compose text format parser on some inputs.
38 - Fix an invalid free() when using multiple keysyms.
40 - Replace the Unicode characters for the leftanglebracket and rightanglebracket
41 keysyms from the deprecated LEFT/RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET to
42 MATHEMATICAL LEFT/RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET.
44 - Reject out-of-range Unicode codepoints in xkb_keysym_to_utf8 and
48 libxkbcommon 0.8.0 - 2017-12-15
51 - Added xkb_keysym_to_{upper,lower} to perform case-conversion directly on
52 keysyms. This is useful in some odd cases, but working with the Unicode
53 representations should be preferred when possible.
55 - Added Unicode conversion rules for the signifblank and permille keysyms.
57 - Fixed a bug in the parsing of XKB key type definitions where the number
58 of levels were determined by the number of level *names*. Keymaps which
59 omit level names were hence miscompiled.
61 This regressed in version 0.4.3. Keymaps from xkeyboard-config were not
62 affected since they don't omit level names.
69 libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04
72 - Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build
75 The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases.
76 Please try to convert to it and report any problems.
78 See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the
79 meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options,
80 and the PACKAGING file for more details.
82 There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build:
84 - Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are
85 enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of
86 the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature,
87 pass -Denable-<feature>=false to meson.
89 - The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified
90 by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both
91 versions are installed by default.
93 - xorg-util-macros is not used.
95 - A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no
96 fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is
99 - Removed Android.mk support.
101 - Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files.
103 - Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell
106 - Added new keysym definitions from xproto.
112 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset
115 libxkbcommon 0.7.1 - 2017-01-18
118 - Fixed various reported problems when the current locale is tr_TR.UTF-8.
120 The function xkb_keysym_from_name() used to perform case-insensitive
121 string comparisons in a locale-dependent way, but required it to to
122 work as in the C/ASCII locale (the so called "Turkish i problem").
124 The function is now no longer affected by the current locale.
126 - Fixed compilation in NetBSD.
129 libxkbcommon 0.7.0 - 2016-11-11
132 - Added support for different "modes" of calculating consumed modifiers.
133 The existing mode, based on the XKB standard, has proven to be
134 unintuitive in various shortcut implementations.
136 A new mode, based on the calculation used by the GTK toolkit, is added.
137 This mode is less eager to declare a modifier as consumed.
139 - Added a new interactive demo program using the Wayland protocol.
140 See the PACKAGING file for the new (optional) test dependencies.
142 - Fixed a compilation error on GNU Hurd.

149 xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed2
152 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
155 - Added LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases.
157 - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation.
160 libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16
163 - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB
164 configuration root instead of the path determined at build time.
166 - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX.
168 - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally,
169 these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat
170 obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit).
172 The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
173 can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that
174 a key may have aliases.
176 - Documentation improvements.
179 xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
180 xkb_keymap_key_get_name()
183 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
186 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
187 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
188 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
190 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
192 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
194 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
196 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
197 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
198 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
199 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
201 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
202 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
203 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
205 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
206 affected). This affects binaries which
208 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
209 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
211 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
213 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
216 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
218 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
220 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
228 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
231 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
232 modifiers for some keymaps.
234 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
236 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
239 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
240 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
241 considering virtual modifier mappings.
242 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
244 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
245 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
248 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
249 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
252 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
255 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
256 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
258 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
259 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
261 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
262 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
264 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
265 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
266 the entire compilation succeeds.
267 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
269 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
271 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
272 size cannot exceed the required size.
275 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
278 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
279 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
282 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
283 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
284 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
285 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
287 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
288 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
289 is converted to an appropriate control character.
290 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
291 required by the XKB specification:
292 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
294 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
296 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
297 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
298 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
300 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
303 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
305 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
308 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
309 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
310 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
313 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
314 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
319 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
322 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
323 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
324 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
325 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
326 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
327 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
328 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
329 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
332 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
335 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
338 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
341 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
342 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
343 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
346 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
349 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
350 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
352 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
353 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
355 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
357 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.

376 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
377 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
380 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
383 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
386 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
387 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
388 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
389 of layouts instead of failing.
391 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
392 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
394 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
397 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
398 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
399 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
