libxkbcommon 0.4.0
==================
- 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
==================
- 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
==================
- 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
==================
- 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.
