libxkbcommon 0.10.0 - 2020-01-18 =================== - (security) Fix quadratic complexity in the XKB file parser. See commit message 7c42945e04a2107827a057245298dedc0475cc88 for details. - Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb to the default search path. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, $HOME/.config/xkb is used. If $HOME is not set, the path is not added. The XDG path is looked up before the existing default search path $HOME/.xkb. Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>. - Add support for include statements in XKB rules files. This is a step towards making local XKB customizations more tenable and convenient, without modifying system files. You can now include other rules files like this: ! include %S/evdev Two directives are supported, %H to $HOME and %S for the system-installed rules directory (usually /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules). See commit message ca033a29d2ca910fd17b1ae287cb420205bdddc8 and doc/rules-format.txt in the xkbcommon source code for more information. Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>. - Downgrade "Symbol added to modifier map for multiple modifiers" log to a warning. This error message was too annoying to be shown by default. When working on keymaps, set `XKB_LOG_LEVEL=debug XKB_LOG_VERBOSITY=10` to see all possible messages. - Support building on Windows using the meson MSVC backend. Contributed by Adrian Perez de Castro <@igalia.com>. - Fix bug where the merge mode only applied to the first vmod in a `virtual_modifiers` statement. Given augment virtual_modifiers NumLock,Alt,LevelThree Previously it was incorrectly treated as augment virtual_modifiers NumLock; virtual_modifiers Alt; virtual_modifiers LevelThree; Now it is treated as augment virtual_modifiers NumLock; augment virtual_modifiers Alt; augment virtual_modifiers LevelThree; - Reject interpret modifier predicate with more than one value. Given interpret ISO_Level3_Shift+AnyOf(all,extraneous) { ... }; Previously, extraneous (and further) was ignored. Now it's rejected. - Correctly handle capitalization of the ssharp keysym. - Speed up and improve the internal `xkeyboard-config` tool. This tool compiles all layout/variant combinations in the xkeyboard-config dataset and reports any issues it finds. Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>. - Speed up "atoms" (string interning). This code goes back at least to X11R1 (released 1987). libxkbcommon 0.9.1 - 2019-10-19 ================== - Fix context creation failing when run in privileged processes as defined by `secure_getenv(3)`, e.g. GDM. libxkbcommon 0.9.0 - 2019-10-19 ================== - Move ~/.xkb to before XKB_CONFIG_ROOT (the system XKB path, usually /usr/share/X11/xkb) in the default include path. This enables the user to have full control of the keymap definitions, instead of only augmenting them. - Remove the Autotools build system. Use the meson build system instead. - Fix invalid names used for levels above 8 when dumping keymaps. Previously, e.g. "Level20" was dumped, but only up to "Level8" is accepted by the parser. Now "20" is dumped. - Change level references to always be dumped as e.g. "5" instead of "Level5". Change group references to always be dumped capitalized e.g. "Group3" instead of "group3". Previously it was inconsistent. These changes affect the output of xkb_keymap_get_as_string(). - Fix several build issues on macOS/Darwin, Solaris, NetBSD, cross compilation. - Port the interactive-wayland test program to the stable version of xdg-shell. libxkbcommon 0.8.4 - 2019-02-22 ================== - Fix build of xkbcommon-x11 static library with meson. - Fix building using meson from the tarball generated by autotools. libxkbcommon 0.8.3 - 2019-02-08 ================== - Fix build of static libraries with meson. (Future note: xkbcommon-x11 was *not* fixed in this release.) - New API: XKB_KEY_XF86MonBrightnessCycle XKB_KEY_XF86RotationLockToggle libxkbcommon 0.8.2 - 2018-08-05 ================== - Fix various problems found with fuzzing (see commit messages for more details): - Fix a few NULL-dereferences, out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior in the XKB text format parser. libxkbcommon 0.8.1 - 2018-08-03 ================== - Fix various problems found in the meson build (see commit messages for more details): - Fix compilation on Darwin. - Fix compilation of the x11 tests and demos when XCB is installed in a non-standard location. - Fix xkbcommon-x11.pc missing the Requires specification. - Fix various problems found with fuzzing and Coverity (see commit messages for more details): - Fix stack overflow in the XKB text format parser when evaluating boolean negation. - Fix NULL-dereferences in the XKB text format parser when some unsupported tokens appear (the tokens are still parsed for backward compatibility). - Fix NULL-dereference in the XKB text format parser when parsing an xkb_geometry section. - Fix an infinite loop in the Compose text format parser on some inputs. - Fix an invalid free() when using multiple keysyms. - Replace the Unicode characters for the leftanglebracket and rightanglebracket keysyms from the deprecated LEFT/RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET to MATHEMATICAL LEFT/RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET. - Reject out-of-range Unicode codepoints in xkb_keysym_to_utf8 and xkb_keysym_to_utf32. libxkbcommon 0.8.0 - 2017-12-15 ================== - Added xkb_keysym_to_{upper,lower} to perform case-conversion directly on keysyms. This is useful in some odd cases, but working with the Unicode representations should be preferred when possible. - Added Unicode conversion rules for the signifblank and permille keysyms. - Fixed a bug in the parsing of XKB key type definitions where the number of levels were determined by the number of level *names*. Keymaps which omit level names were hence miscompiled. This regressed in version 0.4.3. Keymaps from xkeyboard-config were not affected since they don't omit level names. - New API: xkb_keysym_to_upper() xkb_keysym_to_lower() libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04 ================== - Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build system. The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases. Please try to convert to it and report any problems. See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options, and the PACKAGING file for more details. There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build: - Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature, pass -Denable-=false to meson. - The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both versions are installed by default. - xorg-util-macros is not used. - A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is in autotools. - Removed Android.mk support. - Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files. - Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell protocol. - Added new keysym definitions from xproto. - New API: XKB_KEY_XF86Keyboard XKB_KEY_XF86WWAN XKB_KEY_XF86RFKill XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset libxkbcommon 0.7.1 - 2017-01-18 ================== - Fixed various reported problems when the current locale is tr_TR.UTF-8. The function xkb_keysym_from_name() used to perform case-insensitive string comparisons in a locale-dependent way, but required it to to work as in the C/ASCII locale (the so called "Turkish i problem"). The function is now no longer affected by the current locale. - Fixed compilation in NetBSD. libxkbcommon 0.7.0 - 2016-11-11 ================== - Added support for different "modes" of calculating consumed modifiers. The existing mode, based on the XKB standard, has proven to be unintuitive in various shortcut implementations. A new mode, based on the calculation used by the GTK toolkit, is added. This mode is less eager to declare a modifier as consumed. - Added a new interactive demo program using the Wayland protocol. See the PACKAGING file for the new (optional) test dependencies. - Fixed a compilation error on GNU Hurd. - New API: enum xkb_consumed_mode XKB_CONSUMED_MODE_XKB XKB_CONSUMED_MODE_GTK xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods2 xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed2 libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08 ================== - Added LICENSE to distributed files in tarball releases. - Minor typo fix in xkb_keymap_get_as_string() documentation. libxkbcommon 0.6.0 - 2016-03-16 ================== - If the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable is set, it is used as the XKB configuration root instead of the path determined at build time. - Tests and benchmarks now build correctly on OSX. - An XKB keymap provides a name for each key it defines. Traditionally, these names are limited to at most 4 characters, and are thus somewhat obscure, but might still be useful (xkbcommon lifts the 4 character limit). The new functions xkb_keymap_key_get_name() and xkb_keymap_key_by_name() can be used to get the name of a key or find a key by name. Note that a key may have aliases. - Documentation improvements. - New API: xkb_keymap_key_by_name() xkb_keymap_key_get_name() libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18 ================== - Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details. - Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation. - The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read. - Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms. - A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration. For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp". - Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11. Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be able to link against the previous versions of the library. - Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't affected). This affects binaries which 1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and 2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon. Such a scenario is likely to fail already. - If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped instead of hanging. - Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory. - Build fixes from OpenBSD. - Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were ignored. - New API: XKB_COMPOSE_* xkb_compose_* libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19 ================== - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent modifiers for some keymaps. https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9 - Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB PrivateAction's. - Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask(). Previously the given state components were used as-is, without considering virtual modifier mappings. Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask(). - Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is skipped. - Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser. The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc. libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15 ================== - Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1). - Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0). - Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and clarified which functions perform a given transformation. - XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when the entire compilation succeeds. Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp. - Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms() error-handling code. Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input size cannot exceed the required size. libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27 ================== - Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of xkbcommon. - Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level). - The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string is converted to an appropriate control character. This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and required by the XKB specification: https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892 - The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would not cancel an active Caps Lock. - Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz X server. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798 - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more. - New API: xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods() xkb_state_key_get_utf8() xkb_state_key_get_utf32() - Deprecated API: XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead. - Bug fixes. libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02 ================== - Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly. See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details. This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default. It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch. Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h) to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on X11 libraries. - Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of relocations. - Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in some rare cases. - Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation. - New API: New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms). XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier. xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants. libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22 ================== - Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error: ". - Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB specification: https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier - Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison. - New API: XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24. XKB_KEYSYM_NO_FLAGS XKB_CONTEXT_NO_FLAGS XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS - Bug fixes. libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03 ================== - Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer a build requirement. - New API: xkb_keymap_min_keycode() xkb_keymap_max_keycode() xkb_keymap_key_for_each() libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01 ================== - Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of crashing. - The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the 'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number of layouts instead of failing. - The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString(). - Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux environments. - The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL. - New API: xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer() - Bug fixes.
