### 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`):

|
- 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.
