libxkbcommon 0.6.1 - 2016-04-08
==================
- Add 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:
http://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:
http://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.
