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.
