+libxkbcommon 1.6.0 - 2023-10-08
+==================
+
+API
+---
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+- *Remove* keysyms that were intended for German T3 layout but are unused:
+
+ - `XKB_KEY_dead_lowline`
+ - `XKB_KEY_dead_aboveverticalline`
+ - `XKB_KEY_dead_belowverticalline`
+ - `XKB_KEY_dead_longsolidusoverlay`
+
+ See the upstream [`xorgproto` MR](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xorgproto/-/merge_requests/70). See hereinafter for further changes related to keysyms.
+
+### New
+
+- Add Compose iterator API to iterate the entries in a compose table:
+
+ - `xkb_compose_table_entry_sequence`
+ - `xkb_compose_table_entry_keysym`
+ - `xkb_compose_table_entry_utf8`
+ - `xkb_compose_table_iterator_new`
+ - `xkb_compose_table_iterator_free`
+ - `xkb_compose_table_iterator_next`
+
+- *Structured log messages* with a message registry. There is an *ongoing* work
+ to assign unique identifiers to log messages and add a corresponding error
+ index documentation page:
+
+ - The log entries are preceded with an identifier in the form `XKB-NNN`, where
+ `NNN` is a decimal number.
+
+ - The log entries can then be parsed with third-party tools, to check for
+ specific identifiers.
+
+ - The new documentation page “**Error index**” lists all the kind of error messages
+ with their identifiers. The aim is that each entry could present detailed
+ information on the error and how to fix it.
+
+- Add a new warning for numeric keysyms references in XKB files: the preferred
+ keysym reference form is its name or its Unicode value, if relevant.
+
+- Add the upper bound `XKB_KEYSYM_MAX` to check valid keysyms.
+
+- Add a warning when loading a keymap using RMLVO with no layout but with the
+ variant set. The variant is actually discarded and both layout and variant are
+ set to default values, but this was done previously with no warning, confusing
+ end users.
+
+- Add support for `modifier_map None { … }`. This feature is missing compared to
+ the X11 implementation. It allows to reset the modifier map of a key.
+
+- Update keysyms using latest [xorgproto] (commit: `1c8128d72df22843a2022576850bc5ab5e3a46ea`):

+ - `XKB_KEY_XF86DualRangeRadar` ([xorgproto-82])
+ - `XKB_KEY_XF86RadarOverlay` ([xorgproto-82])
+ - `XKB_KEY_XF86TraditionalSonar` ([xorgproto-82])
+ - `XKB_KEY_XF86ClearvuSonar` ([xorgproto-82])
+ - `XKB_KEY_XF86SidevuSonar` ([xorgproto-82])
+ - `XKB_KEY_XF86NavInfo` ([xorgproto-82])
+
+ - Deprecations:
+
+ - `XKB_KEY_masculine`: use `XKB_KEY_ordmasculine` instead ([xorgproto-68])
+ - `XKB_KEY_guillemotleft`: use `XKB_KEY_guillemetleft` instead ([xorgproto-68])
+ - `XKB_KEY_guillemotright`: use `XKB_KEY_guillemetright` instead ([xorgproto-68])
+ - `XKB_KEY_dead_small_schwa`: use `XKB_KEY_dead_schwa` instead ([xorgproto-78])
+ - `XKB_KEY_dead_capital_schwa`: use `XKB_KEY_dead_SCHWA` instead ([xorgproto-78])

+
+- Ongoing work to improve the documentation about XKB and its V1 format.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Prevent `xkb_keysym_from_name` to parse out-of-range hexadecimal keysyms.
+
+- Disallow producing NULL character with escape sequences `\0` and `\x0`.
+
+- Prevent overflow of octal escape sequences by making `\400..\777` invalid.
+
+- Prevent interpreting and emitting invalid Unicode encoding forms: surrogates
+ are invalid in both UTF-32 and UTF-8.
+
+- `xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer`: Allow for a NULL-terminated keymap string.
+
+- Compose: Increase the limit of possible entries to handle huge Compose files.
+
+Tools
+-----
+
+### New
+
+- Add bash completions for `xkbcli` and its subcommands.
+
+- `xkbcli interactive-*`: Add options `--short` to hide some fields.
+
+- `xkbcli interactive-evdev`: Add `--includes` and `--include-defaults` options.
+
+- Add `xkb-check-messages` *experimental* tool (not installed).
+ It checks whether given log messages identifiers are supported.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- `xkbcli compile-keymap`: Allow to use without arguments.
+
+- `xkbcli interactive-*`: Always print keycode.
+
+- `xkbcli interactive-*`: Escape control characters for Unicode output, instead of
+ printing them as-is, messing the output.
+
+Build system
+------------
+
+- Bump required meson to 0.52.0.
+
+- Allow `xkbcommon` to be used as a subproject.
+
+- Improve Windows compilation.
+
+libxkbcommon 1.5.0 - 2023-01-02
+==================
+
+- Add `xkb_context` flag `XKB_CONTEXT_NO_SECURE_GETENV` and `rxkb_context` flag
+ `RXKB_CONTEXT_NO_SECURE_GETENV`.
+
+ xkbcommon uses `getenv_secure()` to obtain environment variables. This flag
+ makes xkbcommon use `getenv()` instead.
+
+ This is useful for some clients that have relatively benign capabilities set,
+ like CAP_SYS_NICE, that also want to use e.g. the XKB configuration from the
+ environment and user configs in XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
+
+ Contributed by Ronan Pigott.
+
+- Fix crash in `xkbcli interactive-wayland` under a compositor which supports
+ new versions of the xdg-shell protocol.
+
+ Contributed by Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig).
+
+- Fix some MSVC build issues.
+
+- Fix some issues when including xkbcommon as a meson subproject.
+
+- meson>=0.51 is now required.
+
+- New API:
+ XKB_CONTEXT_NO_SECURE_GETENV
+ RXKB_CONTEXT_NO_SECURE_GETENV
+
