libX11-1.8.2 (Xorg Library)

[Douglas R. Reno]

New point version

[Xi Ruoyao]

This release fixes ​https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/issues/157, so we should be able to remove --disable-thread-safety-constructor.

I'll assume upstream have tested... Or what should I test after removing the switch?

Release 1.8.2

• Allow X*IfEvent() to reenter libX11 to avoid deadlock from unsafe calls when thread-safety-constructor is enabled (!150).
• Remove Xlib's pthread function stubs - instead use system provided threads functions, including linking against any needed pthread libraries if thread-safety-constructor is enabled (!155, !156).
• Fix off-by-one error in XKeycodeToKeysym for indexes > 3 (!78).
• Allow XNSpotLocation with OnTheSpot (!127).
• Fix Win32 build when -fno-common is in effect (!140).
• Fix memory leak in XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback (!158).
• Add compose sequences for the double-struck capitals ℕ ℤ ℚ ℝ ℂ (!144), the Samogitian E with dot above and macron (!147), Unicode minus sign (!163).
• Change <^> <-> to mean superscript minus instead of macron (!162).
• Delete compose sequences that mix top-row digits with numpad digits (!139) or mix upper & lower case letters (!144).
• Delete some unuseful compose sequences meant for Bépo layout (!146).
• Delete compose sequences using leftcaret & rightcaret keysyms (!163).
• Remove KOI8-R character set from en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE (!148).
