libxklavier
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).

GNOME Control Center/GNOME Keyboard Indicator
Yesterday there was a good talk oт IRC – with the GDP folks. Two major issues were discussed:
I am really glad we finally started dealing with them.

GNOME Control Center
The layout preview is now in the separate window (with autohiding on the irrelevant tabs). And it looks much better since it actually shows two levels, not “one as two”.
Also, keyboard models are chosen from the popup window. If only we could structure them on per-vendor basis. But this is another story…

XKeyboardConfig
Now, 0.3 is out. Hurray. But it is not perfect still. Some missing things:
- vendor info in the xml file
- USB (and nonUSB?) ids in the xml file – for both vendors and geometries
- restructuring of the variant ids – similar to what we did for layout ids
- restructuring of the descriptions and short descriptions
Will it all fit into 0.4? Who knows…

Thanks to Ivan’s explanations, the compatibility rules are now working somehow. The overall solution is nearly a nightmare – 19(!!!) *.part files instead of one (and also new compat directory). Well, at least I can manage it all in this form. The only annoying thing is one little bash-ism in the build script – but hopefully I’ll get rid of it soon. And then, finally, there will be 0.3…

Just merged the keyboard layout preview branch into the HEAD branch. Expecting to get killed tomorrow for breaking something important. Currently, it looks like this and this – but most probably will be changed soon.

ADVOGATO IS BACK. HURRAY!
XKeyboardConfig
We are approaching to the next release. The massive amount of work was done. The intltool issue is more or less straighten out, thanks to Daniel. The ex-“yu” layouts are moved to “srp” (former “sr”) – after the moderately hot discussion between Daniel and Frank. Now, the only thing which bothers me is the compatibility rules. It seems the rules engine is not as good as I’d love to see it :(.
