An update that contains one feature and has one fix can now be installed.

Description:

This update for libxkbcommon fixes the following issues:

  • Update to release 1.3.0 (jsc#SLE-24272)

  • xkbcli list was changed to output YAML instead of a custom format.

  • Fix segmentation fault in case-insensitive xkb_keysym_from_name for certain values like the empty string.

  • Update to release 1.2.1 [boo#1184688]

  • Fix xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() failing when the keymap contains key types with missing level names, like the one used by the numpad:mac option in xkeyboard-config. (Regressed in 1.2.0.)

  • Update to release 1.2.0

  • xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() is much faster. It now performs only 2 roundtrips to the X server, instead of dozens (in first-time calls).

  • Case-sensitive xkb_keysym_from_name() is much faster.
  • Keysym names of the form 0x12AB and U12AB are parsed more strictly.
  • Compose files now have a size limit (65535 internal nodes).

  • Compose table loading (xkb_compose_table_new_from_locale() and similar) is much faster.

  • Update to release 1.1.0

  • Update keysym definitions to latest xorgproto. In particular, this adds many special keysyms corresponding to Linux evdev keycodes.

  • New XKB_KEY_* definitions.

  • Update to release 1.0.3

  • Fix (hopefully) a segfault in xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() in some unclear situation (bug introduced in 1.0.2).

  • Fix keymaps created with xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() do not have level names (bug introduced in 0.8.0).

  • Update to release 1.0.2

  • Fix a bug where a keysym that cannot be resolved in a keymap gets compiled to a garbage keysym. Now it is set to XKB_KEY_NoSymbol instead.

  • Improve the speed of xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() on repeated calls in the same xkb_context().

  • Update to release 1.0.1

  • Make the table output of xkbcli how-to-type aligned.

  • Update to release 1.0.0

  • Now it is possible to add custom layouts and options at the system (/etc) and user (~/.config) level, at least when libxkbcommon is in use.

  • libxkbregistry is a C library that lists available XKB models, layouts and variants for a given ruleset. This is a separate library (.so/.pc files) and aimed at tools that provide a listing of available keyboard layouts to the user.

  • Add an xkbcli command-line utility.

  • Update to release 0.10.0

  • Fix quadratic complexity in the XKB file parser.

  • Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb to the default search path. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, $HOME/.config/xkb is used. If $HOME is not set, the path is not added. The XDG path is looked up before the existing default search path $HOME/.xkb.
  • Add support for include statements in XKB rules files.
  • Fix bug where the merge mode only applied to the first vmod in a "virtual_modifiers" statement.
  • Reject interpret modifier predicate with more than one value.

  • Correctly handle capitalization of the ssharp keysym.

  • Update to release 0.9.1

  • Fix context creation failing when run in privileged processes as defined by secure_getenv(3), e.g. GDM.

  • Update to release 0.9.0

  • Move ~/.xkb to before XKB_CONFIG_ROOT. This enables the user to have full control of the keymap definitions, instead of only augmenting them.

  • Update to new upstream release 0.8.3

  • New APIs: XKB_KEY_XF86MonBrightnessCycle, XKB_KEY_XF86RotationLockToggle.
