GNOME
Massive cleanup in gkb-new. Only xmodmap stuff is remaining from that point. Got confirmation from Shooby (humm…) that I can move xmodmap data to X11 licence (to xkeyboard-config) – but will not do it, for now. Still, xmodmap stuff needs some cleanup and polishing – the slow, error-prone process (expecting loads of bugreports). Well, really, xmodmap layouts are in a good shape as they are – BUT since it was agreed to use Alt-Alt as a default switcher – I have to ensure that all layouts are ok with it (Alts are used in a “conformant” way). So here can be some problems…

GNOME
Thanks to Alexandre Prokoudine, I got my very own “head”. So now Planet GNOME can use it with all the stuff coming from my name.

Ugh. Released 1.12. And it really works with xmodmap (yeah, I tested)! By default, xmodmap is disabled – but just adding –enable-xmm-support to configure turns it on.

Lazying around xmodmap support, I tightened the gcc options. Now I use “-Wall -Werror” which is ok. But “-ansi” makes me some trouble. No more strdup and snprintf – they are not standartized. Sure, good old #ifdef allows me to put their declarations into my headers – but thats sucks big time… Especially taking that snprintf is REALLY not avalable on some systems.

Another breakage of libxklavier API is nearly there (not in CVS yet but…). xmodmap support happens to be more PITA than I expected. Well, it is good anyway – the reason to cleanup and polish.

About to release 1.11 (actually, it is already tagged). Keeping the API stable, I performed substantial internal reogranization. For now, all the xkb-related code is localized (well, at least from the compiler POV – noone knows when I bump into some implicit assumptions which won’t work for xmodmap logic). The vtable idea seems to be the WTG. Scary thought – but it seems I finally have to go for xmodmap support. Sure, not earlier than 1.12…

So, the version 1.04 is out. Really want it to be the last version in 1.0x series. It is fairly stable IMHO to be the last one. In CVS, I already broken (cleaned up) API in HEAD – so libgswitchit is changed in the GNOME HEAD, so before GNOME 2.9.1 I have to release libxklavier 1.1 anyway (if I do not want to get killed by angry users of jhbuild). In libxklavier I am going to use xkbcomp, as Ivan advised, instead of calling XkbGetKeyboard – so all the preparation work will really be done on the client side – and the server will get absolutely prepared stuff. Architecturally-wise, this is way better than current situation – using rules files on the client side and looking for the components on the server side.

XKeyboardConfig
Yesterday (well, actually today) released the version 0.4. Nothing particularly revolutionary – just fixes, polish etc etc. It seems the project is now in some stable mainenance state.

There goes an interesting discussion regarding XKB-compatibility of the library. Theoretically, I see Michael’s point – I just think XKB specs are weak in the configuration department, so if we do not make some extra assumptions – we end nowhere (with very irritated user at least).
