+libxkbcommon 0.11.0
+===================
+
+- Add libxkbregistry as configure-time optional library. libxkbregistry is a C
+ library that lists available XKB models, layouts and variants for a given
+ ruleset. This is a separate library (libxkbregistry.so, pkgconfig file
+ xkbregistry.pc) and aimed at tools that provide a listing of available
+ keyboard layouts to the user. See the Documentation for details on the API.
+

+
+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-<feature>=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
==================
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
==================
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
- Bug fixes.
+
libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
==================
- Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
specification:
- http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
+ https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
- Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
