• libxkbcommon 0.4.1
  ==================
  
  - 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
  ==================
  
  - 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.
