We've accumulated some changes and bug fixes, so here's a new release.
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.
Link: http://xkbcommon.org/doc/current/md_doc_quick-guide.html
- 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.
