1 libxkbcommon 1.4.0 - 2022-02-04
4 - Add `enable-tools` option to Meson build (on by default) to allow disabling
7 Contributed by Alex Xu (Hello71).
9 - In `xkbcli list`, fix "YAML Norway problem" in output.
11 Contributed by Peter Hutterer.
13 - In libxkbregistry, variants now inherit iso639, iso3166 and brief from parent
16 Contributed by M Hickford.
18 - In libxkbregistry, don't call `xmlCleanupParser()` - it's not supposed to
19 be called by libraries.
21 Contributed by Peter Hutterer.
23 - In libxkbregistry, skip over invalid ISO-639 or ISO-3166 entries.
25 Contributed by Peter Hutterer.
27 libxkbcommon 1.3.1 - 2021-09-10
30 - In `xkbcli interactive-x11`, use the Esc keysym instead of the Esc keycode
33 Contributed by Simon Ser.
35 - In `xkbcli how-to-type`, add `--keysym` argugment for how to type a keysym
36 instead of a Unicode codepoint.
38 - Fix a crash in `xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device` error handling given some
39 invalid keymaps. Regressed in 1.2.0.
41 Reported by Zack Weinberg. Tested by Uli Schlachter.
43 libxkbcommon 1.3.0 - 2021-05-01
46 - Change `xkbcli list` to output YAML, instead of the previous ad-hoc format.
48 This allows to more easily process the information in a programmetic way, for
51 xkbcli list | yq -r ".layouts[].layout"
53 Contributed by Peter Hutterer.
55 - Optimize a certain part of keymap compilation (atom interning).
57 - Fix segmentation fault in case-insensitive `xkb_keysym_from_name` for certain
58 values like the empty string.
60 Contributed by Isaac Freund.
62 - Support building libxkbcommon as a meson subproject.
64 Contributed by Adrian Perez de Castro.
66 - Add `ftruncate` fallback for `posix_fallocate` in `xkbcli interactive-wayland`
69 Contributed by Evgeniy Khramtsov.
71 - Properly export library symbols in MSVC.
73 Contributed by Adrian Perez de Castro.
75 libxkbcommon 1.2.1 - 2021-04-07
78 - Fix `xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device()` failing when the keymap contains key
79 types with missing level names, like the one used by the `numpad:mac` option
80 in xkeyboard-config. Regressed in 1.2.0.
82 libxkbcommon 1.2.0 - 2021-04-03
85 - `xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device()` is much faster. It now performs only 2
86 roundtrips to the X server, instead of dozens (in first-time calls).
88 Contributed by Uli Schlachter.
90 - Case-sensitive `xkb_keysym_from_name()` is much faster.
92 - Keysym names of the form `0x12AB` and `U12AB` are parsed more strictly.
93 Previously the hexadecimal part was parsed with `strtoul()`, now only up
94 to 8 hexadecimal digits (0-9A-Fa-f) are allowed.
96 - Compose files now have a size limit (65535 internal nodes). Further sequences
97 are discared and a warning is issued.
99 - Compose table loading (`xkb_compose_table_new_from_locale()` and similar) is
102 - Use `poll()` instead of `epoll()` for `xlbcli interactive-evdev`, making it
103 portable to FreeBSD which provides evdev but not epoll. On FreeBSD, remember
104 to install the `evdev-proto` package to get the evdev headers.
106 - The build now requires a C11 compiler (uses anonymous structs/unions).
108 libxkbcommon 1.1.0 - 2021-02-27
111 - Publish the `xkb-format-text-v1.md` file in the HTML documentation. This file
112 existed for a long time but only in the Git repository.
113 Link: https://xkbcommon.org/doc/current/md_doc_keymap_format_text_v1.html
115 - Add partial documentation for xkb_symbols to xkb-format-text-v1.md.
117 Contributed by Simon Zeni.
119 - Update keysym definitions to latest xorgproto. In particular, this adds many
120 special keysyms corresponding to Linux evdev keycodes.
122 Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>.
125 Too many XKB_KEY_* definitions to list here.
127 libxkbcommon 1.0.3 - 2020-11-23
130 - Fix (hopefully) a segfault in xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() in some
131 unclear situation (bug introduced in 1.0.2).
133 - Fix keymaps created with xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() don't have level
134 names (bug introduced in 0.8.0).
136 libxkbcommon 1.0.2 - 2020-11-20
139 - Fix a bug where a keysym that cannot be resolved in a keymap gets compiled to
140 a garbage keysym. Now it is set to XKB_KEY_NoSymbol instead.
142 - Improve the speed of xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() on repeated calls in the
146 libxkbcommon 1.0.1 - 2020-09-11
149 - Fix the tool-option-parsing test failing.
151 - Remove requirement for pytest in the tool-option-parsing test.
153 - Make the table output of `xkbcli how-to-type` aligned.
155 - Some portability and test isolation fixes.
157 libxkbcommon 1.0.0 - 2020-09-05
160 Note: this release is API and ABI compatible with previous releases -- the
161 major version bump is only an indication of stability.
163 - Add libxkbregistry as configure-time optional library. libxkbregistry is a C
164 library that lists available XKB models, layouts and variants for a given
165 ruleset. This is a separate library (libxkbregistry.so, pkgconfig file
166 xkbregistry.pc) and aimed at tools that provide a listing of available
167 keyboard layouts to the user. See the Documentation for details on the API.
169 Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>.
171 - Better support custom user configuration:
173 * Allow including XKB files from other paths.
175 Previously, a 'symbols/us' file in path A would shadow the same file in
176 path B. This is suboptimal, we rarely need to hide the system files - we
177 care mostly about *extending* them. By continuing to check other lookup
178 paths, we make it possible for a XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/symbols/us file to
179 have sections including those from /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us.
181 Note that this is not possible for rules files, which need to be manually
182 controlled to get the right bits resolved.
184 * Add /etc/xkb as extra lookup path for system data files.
186 This completes the usual triplet of configuration locations available for
188 - vendor-provided data files in /usr/share/X11/xkb
189 - system-specific data files in /etc/xkb
190 - user-specific data files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb
192 The default lookup order user, system, vendor, just like everything else
193 that uses these conventions.
195 For include directives in rules files, the '%E' resolves to that path.
197 * Add a new section to the documentation for custom user configuration.
199 Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>.
201 - Add an `xkbcli` command-line utility.
203 This tool offers various subcommands for introspection and debugging.
204 Currently the available subcommands are:
207 List available rules, models, layouts, variants and options
210 Interactive debugger for XKB keymaps for Wayland
213 Interactive debugger for XKB keymaps for X11
216 Interactive debugger for XKB keymaps for evdev (Linux)
219 Compile an XKB keymap
222 See separate entry below.
224 See the manpages for usage information.
226 Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>.
228 - Add `xkb_utf32_to_keysym()` to translate a Unicode codepoint to a keysym.
229 When a special keysym (`XKB_KEY_` constant) for the codepoint exists, it is
230 returned, otherwise the direct encoding is used, if permissible.
232 Contributed by Jaroslaw Kubik <@froglogic.com>.
234 - Add `xkb_keymap_key_get_mods_for_level()` which retrieves sets of modifiers
235 which produce a given shift level in a given key+layout.
237 Contributed by Jaroslaw Kubik <@froglogic.com>.
239 - Add `xkbcli how-to-type` command, which, using `xkb_utf32_to_keysym()`
240 and `xkb_keymap_key_get_mods_for_level()` and other APIs, prints out all
241 the ways to produce a given keysym.
243 For example, how to type `?` (codepoint 63) in a us,de keymap?
245 $ xkbcli how-to-type --layout us,de 63 | column -ts $'\t'
246 keysym: question (0x3f)
247 KEYCODE KEY NAME LAYOUT# LAYOUT NAME LEVEL# MODIFIERS
248 20 AE11 2 German 2 [ Shift ]
249 20 AE11 2 German 2 [ Shift Lock ]
250 61 AB10 1 English (US) 2 [ Shift ]
252 - Add a new section to the documentation describing the format of the XKB
255 - Search for Compose in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/XCompose (fallback to
256 ~/.config/XCompose) before trying $HOME/.XCompose.
258 Note that libX11 still only searches in $HOME/.XCompose.
260 Contributed by Emmanuel Gil Peyrot <@linkmauve.fr>.
262 - Bump meson requirement to >= 0.49.0.
264 - Fix build with byacc.
266 - Fix building X11 tests on PE targets.
268 Contributed by Jon Turney <@dronecode.org.uk>
270 - The tests no longer rely on bash, only Python (which is already used by
275 xkb_keymap_key_get_mods_for_level
276 XKB_KEY_XF86FullScreen
279 libxkbcommon 0.10.0 - 2020-01-18
282 - (security) Fix quadratic complexity in the XKB file parser. See commit
283 message 7c42945e04a2107827a057245298dedc0475cc88 for details.
285 - Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb to the default search path. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
286 is not set, $HOME/.config/xkb is used. If $HOME is not set, the path is not
289 The XDG path is looked up before the existing default search path $HOME/.xkb.
291 Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>.
293 - Add support for include statements in XKB rules files.
295 This is a step towards making local XKB customizations more tenable and
296 convenient, without modifying system files.
298 You can now include other rules files like this:
302 Two directives are supported, %H to $HOME and %S for the system-installed
303 rules directory (usually /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules).
305 See commit message ca033a29d2ca910fd17b1ae287cb420205bdddc8 and
306 doc/rules-format.txt in the xkbcommon source code for more information.
308 Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>.
310 - Downgrade "Symbol added to modifier map for multiple modifiers" log to a
313 This error message was too annoying to be shown by default. When working on
314 keymaps, set `XKB_LOG_LEVEL=debug XKB_LOG_VERBOSITY=10` to see all possible
317 - Support building on Windows using the meson MSVC backend.
319 Contributed by Adrian Perez de Castro <@igalia.com>.
321 - Fix bug where the merge mode only applied to the first vmod in a
322 `virtual_modifiers` statement. Given
324 augment virtual_modifiers NumLock,Alt,LevelThree
326 Previously it was incorrectly treated as
328 augment virtual_modifiers NumLock;
329 virtual_modifiers Alt;
330 virtual_modifiers LevelThree;
334 augment virtual_modifiers NumLock;
335 augment virtual_modifiers Alt;
336 augment virtual_modifiers LevelThree;
338 - Reject interpret modifier predicate with more than one value. Given
340 interpret ISO_Level3_Shift+AnyOf(all,extraneous) { ... };
342 Previously, extraneous (and further) was ignored. Now it's rejected.
344 - Correctly handle capitalization of the ssharp keysym.
346 - Speed up and improve the internal `xkeyboard-config` tool. This tool
347 compiles all layout/variant combinations in the xkeyboard-config dataset
348 and reports any issues it finds.
350 Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>.
352 - Speed up "atoms" (string interning). This code goes back at least to X11R1
356 libxkbcommon 0.9.1 - 2019-10-19
359 - Fix context creation failing when run in privileged processes as defined by
360 `secure_getenv(3)`, e.g. GDM.
363 libxkbcommon 0.9.0 - 2019-10-19
366 - Move ~/.xkb to before XKB_CONFIG_ROOT (the system XKB path, usually
367 /usr/share/X11/xkb) in the default include path. This enables the user
368 to have full control of the keymap definitions, instead of only augmenting
371 - Remove the Autotools build system. Use the meson build system instead.
373 - Fix invalid names used for levels above 8 when dumping keymaps. Previously,
374 e.g. "Level20" was dumped, but only up to "Level8" is accepted by the
375 parser. Now "20" is dumped.
377 - Change level references to always be dumped as e.g. "5" instead of "Level5".
379 Change group references to always be dumped capitalized e.g. "Group3" instead
380 of "group3". Previously it was inconsistent.
382 These changes affect the output of xkb_keymap_get_as_string().
384 - Fix several build issues on macOS/Darwin, Solaris, NetBSD, cross compilation.
386 - Port the interactive-wayland test program to the stable version of xdg-shell.
389 libxkbcommon 0.8.4 - 2019-02-22
392 - Fix build of xkbcommon-x11 static library with meson.
394 - Fix building using meson from the tarball generated by autotools.
397 libxkbcommon 0.8.3 - 2019-02-08
400 - Fix build of static libraries with meson.
401 (Future note: xkbcommon-x11 was *not* fixed in this release.)
404 XKB_KEY_XF86MonBrightnessCycle
405 XKB_KEY_XF86RotationLockToggle
408 libxkbcommon 0.8.2 - 2018-08-05
411 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing (see commit messages for
414 - Fix a few NULL-dereferences, out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior
415 in the XKB text format parser.
418 libxkbcommon 0.8.1 - 2018-08-03
421 - Fix various problems found in the meson build (see commit messages for more
424 - Fix compilation on Darwin.
426 - Fix compilation of the x11 tests and demos when XCB is installed in a
427 non-standard location.
429 - Fix xkbcommon-x11.pc missing the Requires specification.
431 - Fix various problems found with fuzzing and Coverity (see commit messages for
434 - Fix stack overflow in the XKB text format parser when evaluating boolean
437 - Fix NULL-dereferences in the XKB text format parser when some unsupported
438 tokens appear (the tokens are still parsed for backward compatibility).
440 - Fix NULL-dereference in the XKB text format parser when parsing an
441 xkb_geometry section.
443 - Fix an infinite loop in the Compose text format parser on some inputs.
445 - Fix an invalid free() when using multiple keysyms.
447 - Replace the Unicode characters for the leftanglebracket and rightanglebracket
448 keysyms from the deprecated LEFT/RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET to
449 MATHEMATICAL LEFT/RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET.
451 - Reject out-of-range Unicode codepoints in xkb_keysym_to_utf8 and
455 libxkbcommon 0.8.0 - 2017-12-15
458 - Added xkb_keysym_to_{upper,lower} to perform case-conversion directly on
459 keysyms. This is useful in some odd cases, but working with the Unicode
460 representations should be preferred when possible.
462 - Added Unicode conversion rules for the signifblank and permille keysyms.
464 - Fixed a bug in the parsing of XKB key type definitions where the number
465 of levels were determined by the number of level *names*. Keymaps which
466 omit level names were hence miscompiled.
468 This regressed in version 0.4.3. Keymaps from xkeyboard-config were not
469 affected since they don't omit level names.
472 xkb_keysym_to_upper()
473 xkb_keysym_to_lower()
476 libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04
479 - Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build
482 The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases.
483 Please try to convert to it and report any problems.
485 See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the
486 meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options,
487 and the PACKAGING file for more details.
489 There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build:
491 - Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are
492 enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of
493 the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature,
494 pass -Denable-<feature>=false to meson.
496 - The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified
497 by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both
498 versions are installed by default.
500 - xorg-util-macros is not used.
502 - A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no
503 fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is
506 - Removed Android.mk support.
508 - Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files.
510 - Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell
513 - Added new keysym definitions from xproto.
519 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset
522 libxkbcommon 0.7.1 - 2017-01-18
525 - Fixed various reported problems when the current locale is tr_TR.UTF-8.
527 The function xkb_keysym_from_name() used to perform case-insensitive
528 string comparisons in a locale-dependent way, but required it to to
529 work as in the C/ASCII locale (the so called "Turkish i problem").
531 The function is now no longer affected by the current locale.
533 - Fixed compilation in NetBSD.
536 libxkbcommon 0.7.0 - 2016-11-11
539 - Added support for different "modes" of calculating consumed modifiers.
540 The existing mode, based on the XKB standard, has proven to be
541 unintuitive in various shortcut implementations.
543 A new mode, based on the calculation used by the GTK toolkit, is added.
544 This mode is less eager to declare a modifier as consumed.
546 - Added a new interactive demo program using the Wayland protocol.
547 See the PACKAGING file for the new (optional) test dependencies.
549 - Fixed a compilation error on GNU Hurd.
552 enum xkb_consumed_mode

556 xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed2
559 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
562 - Added LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases.
564 - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation.
567 libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16
570 - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB
571 configuration root instead of the path determined at build time.
573 - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX.
575 - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally,
576 these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat
577 obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit).
579 The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
580 can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that
581 a key may have aliases.
583 - Documentation improvements.
586 xkb_keymap_key_by_name()
587 xkb_keymap_key_get_name()
590 libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
593 - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
594 libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
595 xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
597 - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
599 - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
601 - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
603 - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
604 during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
605 For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
606 "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
608 - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
609 Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
610 able to link against the previous versions of the library.
612 - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
613 affected). This affects binaries which
615 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
616 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
618 Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
620 - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
623 - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
625 - Build fixes from OpenBSD.
627 - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
635 libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
638 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
639 modifiers for some keymaps.
641 https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
643 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
646 - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
647 Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
648 considering virtual modifier mappings.
649 Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
651 - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
652 Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
655 - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
656 The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
659 libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
662 - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
663 in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
665 - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
666 introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
668 - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
669 clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
671 - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
672 have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
673 the entire compilation succeeds.
674 Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
676 - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
678 Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
679 size cannot exceed the required size.
682 libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
685 - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
686 documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
689 - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
690 combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
691 xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
692 (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
694 - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
695 transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
696 is converted to an appropriate control character.
697 This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
698 required by the XKB specification:
699 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
701 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
703 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
704 to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
705 not cancel an active Caps Lock.
707 - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
710 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
712 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
715 xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
716 xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
717 xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
720 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
721 use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
726 libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
729 - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
730 with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
731 See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
732 This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
733 It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
734 Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
735 library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
736 to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
739 - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
742 - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
745 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
748 New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
749 XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
750 xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
753 libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
756 - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
757 default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ".
759 - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
760 xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
762 https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
764 - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
767 XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
770 XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
775 libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03
778 - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
782 xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
783 xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
784 xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
787 libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
790 - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
793 - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
794 xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
795 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
796 of layouts instead of failing.
798 - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
799 uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
801 - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
804 - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
805 the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
806 a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
