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_Modifierhttps://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.

- 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.
CHangelog:
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.
xkbcommon is a library to handle keyboard descriptions, including
loading them from disk, parsing them and handling their state. It's
mainly meant for client toolkits, window systems, and other system
applications; currently that includes Wayland, kmscon, GTK+, Qt,
Clutter, and more.
This package is required by Qt5.
