libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
==================

- Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
  libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
  xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.

- Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.

- The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.

- Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.

- A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
  during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
  For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
  "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".

- Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
  Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
  able to link against the previous versions of the library.

- Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
  affected). This affects binaries which

  1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
  2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.

  Such a scenario is likely to fail already.

- If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
  instead of hanging.

- Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.

- Build fixes from OpenBSD.

- Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
  ignored.

- New API:
  XKB_COMPOSE_*
  xkb_compose_*

libxkbcommon 0.4.3 - 2014-08-19
==================

- Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to misrepresent
  modifiers for some keymaps.

  https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/9

- Fixed a bug which caused xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() to ignore XKB
  PrivateAction's.

- Modifiers are now always fully resolved after xkb_state_update_mask().
  Previously the given state components were used as-is, without
  considering virtual modifier mappings.
  Note: this only affects non-standard uses of xkb_state_update_mask().

- Added a test for xkbcommon-x11, "x11comp". The test uses the system's
  Xvfb server and xkbcomp. If they do not exist or fail, the test is
  skipped.

- Fixed memory leaks after parse errors in the XKB yacc parser.
  The fix required changes which are currently incompatible with byacc.

libxkbcommon 0.4.2 - 2014-05-15
==================

- Fixed a bug where explicitly passing "--enable-x11" to ./configure would
  in fact disable it (regressed in 0.4.1).

- Added @since version annotations to the API documentation for everything
  introduced after the initial stable release (0.2.0).

- Added a section to the documentation about keysym transformations, and
  clarified which functions perform a given transformation.

- XKB files which fail to compile during keymap construction can no longer
  have any effect on the resulting keymap: changes are only applied when
  the entire compilation succeeds.
  Note: this was a minor correctness issue inherited from xkbcomp.

- Fix an out-of-bounds array access in src/x11/util.c:adopt_atoms()
  error-handling code.
  Note: it seems impossible to trigger in the current code since the input
  size cannot exceed the required size.

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.
