  • 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.
