libxkbcommon-1.7.0

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

[Xi Ruoyao]

We need LC_ALL=C ninja test for testing, or "test_invalid_option" fails because "unrecognized option" is translated to the language specified by the locale.

libxkbcommon 1.7.0 - 2024-03-24

API

New

• Added early detection of invalid encodings and BOM for keymaps, rules & Compose. Also added a hint that the expected encoding must be UTF-8 compatible.

Fixes

• Updated keysyms using latest [xorgproto]

For the sake of compatibility, this reintroduces some deleted keysyms and postpones the effective deprecation of others, that landed in xkbcommon 1.6.0.

• Additions (reverted removal):
  • XKB_KEY_dead_lowline
  • XKB_KEY_dead_aboveverticalline
  • XKB_KEY_dead_belowverticalline
  • XKB_KEY_dead_longsolidusoverlay

• The following keysyms names remain deprecated, but are set again (i.e. as before xkbcommon 1.6.0) as the reference names for their respective keysyms, in order to ensure the transition to the newer names that replace them. This affects functions such as xkb_keymap_key_get_name and xkb_keymap_get_as_string.
  • XKB_KEY_masculine: is deprecated in favor of XKB_KEY_ordmasculine
  • XKB_KEY_guillemotleft: is deprecated in favor of XKB_KEY_guillemetleft
  • XKB_KEY_guillemotright: is deprecated in favor of XKB_KEY_guillemetright
  • XKB_KEY_dead_small_schwa: is deprecated in favor of XKB_KEY_dead_schwa
  • XKB_KEY_dead_capital_schwa: is deprecated in favor of XKB_KEY_dead_SCHWA

• Keysyms: Fixed inconsistent results in xkb_keysym_from_name when used with the flag XKB_KEYSYM_CASE_INSENSITIVE. In some rare cases it would return a keysym with an upper-case name instead of the expected lower-case (e.g. XKB_KEY_dead_A instead of XKB_KEY_dead_a).

• Keysyms: Fixed case mapping for 3 Latin 1 keysyms:
  • XKB_KEY_ydiaeresis
  • XKB_KEY_mu
  • XKB_KEY_ssharp

• Keysyms: Fixed xkb_keysym_is_modifier to detect also the following keysyms:
  • XKB_KEY_ISO_Level5_Shift
  • XKB_KEY_ISO_Level5_Latch
  • XKB_KEY_ISO_Level5_Lock

• Prevent recursive includes of keymap components.
• Fixed global default statements x.y = z; in wrong scope not raising an error.
• Rules: Made newline required after !include line.
• Rules: Fixed a bug where variant indexes were ignored with the layout index used instead. They are practically always the same, but don't have to be.
• Compose: Fixed a segfault with xkb_compose_table_iterator_next when used on an empty table.
• Compose: Added check to ensure to open only regular files, not e.g. directories.
• Registry: Updated the DTD and always parse the “popularity” attribute.
• Fixed a few memory leaks and keymap symbols parsing.

Tools

New

• xkbcli compile-compose: added new CLI utility to test Compose files.
• xkbcli interactive-evdev: added --verbose option.
• xkbcli interactive-x11: added support for Compose.
• xkbcli interactive-wayland: added support for Compose.

Fixes

• Bash completion: Fixed completion in some corner cases.

Build system

• Fix building with clang when using -Wl,--gc-sections.
• Fixed linking using lld 1.17.
• Fix building X11 tests on macOS.
• Documentation is no longer built by default; it requires -Denable-docs=true.
