1libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
2==================
3
4- Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
5  libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
6  xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.
7
8- Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.
9
10- The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.
11
12- Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.
13
14- A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
15  during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
16  For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
17  "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
18
19- Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
20  Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
21  able to link against the previous versions of the library.
22
23- Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
24  affected). This affects binaries which
25
26  1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
27  2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.
28
29  Such a scenario is likely to fail already.
30
31- If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
32  instead of hanging.
33
34- Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.
35
36- Build fixes from OpenBSD.
37
38- Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
39  ignored.
40
41- New API:
42  XKB_COMPOSE_*
43  xkb_compose_*
44
45libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
46==================
47
48- Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
49  modifiers for some keymaps.
50
51  https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9
52
53- Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
54  PrivateAction's.
55
56- Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
57  Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
58  considering virtual modifier mappings.
59  Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().
60
61- Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
62  Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
63  skipped.
64
65- Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
66  The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.
67
68libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
69==================
70
71- Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
72  in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).
73
74- Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
75  introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).
76
77- Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
78  clarified which functions perform a given transformation.
79
80- XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
81  have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
82  the entire compilation succeeds.
83  Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.
84
85- Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
86  error-handling code.
87  Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
88  size cannot exceed the required size.
89
90libxkbcommon 0.4.1 - 2014-03-27
91==================
92
93- Converted README to markdown and added a Quick Guide to the
94  documentation, which breezes through the most common parts of
95  xkbcommon.
96
97- Added two new functions, xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}(). They
98  combine the operations of xkb_state_key_get_syms() and
99  xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}(), and provide a nicer interface for it
100  (espcially for multiple-keysyms-per-level).
101
102- The xkb_state_key_get_utf{8,32}() functions now apply Control
103  transformation: when the Control modifier is active, the string
104  is converted to an appropriate control character.
105  This matches the behavior of libX11's XLookupString(3), and
106  required by the XKB specification:
107  http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
108
109  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75892
110
111- The consumed modifiers for a key are now calculated similarly
112  to libX11. The previous behavior caused a bug where Shift would
113  not cancel an active Caps Lock.
114
115- Make xkbcommon-x11 work with the keymap reported by the XQuartz
116  X server.
117
118  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75798
119
120- Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation some more.
121
122- New API:
123  xkb_state_key_get_consumed_mods()
124  xkb_state_key_get_utf8()
125  xkb_state_key_get_utf32()
126
127- Deprecated API:
128  XKB_MAP_COMPILE_PLACEHOLDER, XKB_MAP_NO_FLAGS
129    use XKB_KEYMAP_NO_FLAGS instead.
130
131- Bug fixes.
132
133libxkbcommon 0.4.0 - 2014-02-02
134==================
135
136- Add a new add-on library, xkbcommon-x11, to support creating keymaps
137  with the XKB X11 protocol, by querying the X server directly.
138  See the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h header file for more details.
139  This library requires libxcb-xkb >= 1.10, and is enabled by default.
140  It can be disabled with the --disable-x11 configure switch.
141  Distributions are encouraged to split the necessary files for this
142  library (libxkbcommon-x11.so, xkbcommon-x11.pc, xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h)
143  to a separate package, such that the main package does not depend on
144  X11 libraries.
145
146- Fix the keysym <-> name lookup table to not require huge amounts of
147  relocations.
148
149- Fix a bug in the keysym <-> name lookup, whereby lookup might fail in
150  some rare cases.
151
152- Reduce memory usage during keymap compilation.
153
154- New API:
155  New keysyms from xproto 7.0.25 (German T3 layout keysyms).
156  XKB_MOD_NAME_NUM for the usual NumLock modifier.
157  xkb_x11_* types and functions, XKB_X11_* constants.
158
159
160libxkbcommon 0.3.2 - 2013-11-22
161==================
162
163- Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
164  default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error:   ".
165
166- Apply capitalization transformation on keysyms in
167  xkb_keysym_get_one_sym(), to match the behavior specified in the XKB
168  specification:
169  http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
170
171- Support byacc for generating the parser, in addition to Bison.
172
173- New API:
174  XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym from xproto 7.0.24.
175  XKB_KEYSYM_NO_FLAGS
176  XKB_CONTEXT_NO_FLAGS
177  XKB_MAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS
178
179- Bug fixes.
180
181
182libxkbcommon 0.3.1 - 2013-06-03
183==================
184
185- Replace the flex scanner with a hand-written one. flex is no longer
186  a build requirement.
187
188- New API:
189  xkb_keymap_min_keycode()
190  xkb_keymap_max_keycode()
191  xkb_keymap_key_for_each()
192
193
194libxkbcommon 0.3.0 - 2013-04-01
195==================
196
197- Allow passing NULL to *_unref() functions; do nothing instead of
198  crashing.
199
200- The functions xkb_keymap_num_levels_for_key() and
201  xkb_keymap_get_syms_by_level() now allow out-of-range values for the
202  'layout' parameter. The functions now wrap the value around the number
203  of layouts instead of failing.
204
205- The function xkb_keysym_get_name() now types unicode keysyms in
206  uppercase and 0-padding, to match the format used by XKeysymToString().
207
208- Building Linux-specific tests is no longer attempted on non-Linux
209  environments.
210
211- The function xkb_keymap_new_from_names() now accepts a NULL value for
212  the 'names' parameter, instead of failing. This is equivalent to passing
213  a 'struct xkb_rule_names' with all fields set to NULL.
214
215- New API:
216  xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()
217
218- Bug fixes.
