  doc: add @since annotations for API added since 0.3.0 And also add release dates to the NEWS. We're adding API freely, so this can make life easier for anyone who wants to stay compatible with an older version. Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran234@gmail.com>

• 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.
