libxkbcommon 0.5.0 - 2014-10-18
==================

- Added support for Compose/dead keys in a new module (included in
  libxkbcommon). See the documentation or the
  xkbcommon/xkbcommon-compose.h header file for more details.

- Improved and reordered some sections of the documentation.

- The doxygen HTML pages were made nicer to read.

- Most tests now run also on non-linux platforms.

- A warning is emitted by default about RMLVO values which are not used
  during keymap compilation, which are most often a user misconfiguration.
  For example, "terminate:ctrl_alt_backspace" instead of
  "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".

- Added symbol versioning for libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11.
  Note: binaries compiled against this and future versions will not be
  able to link against the previous versions of the library.

- Removed several compatablity symbols from the binary (the API isn't
  affected). This affects binaries which

  1. Were compiled against a pre-stable (<0.2.0) version of libxkbcommon, and
  2. Are linked against the this or later version of libxkbcommon.

  Such a scenario is likely to fail already.

- If Xvfb is not available, the x11comp test is now correctly skipped
  instead of hanging.

- Benchmarks were moved to a separate bench/ directory.

- Build fixes from OpenBSD.

- Fixed a bug where key type entries such as "map[None] = Level2;" were
  ignored.

- New API:
  XKB_COMPOSE_*
  xkb_compose_*
