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_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
==================

- 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.
