• Patch Makefile.am to use ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS=-I m4 (by Luca Falavigna)

• Add two functions to fix gobject-introspection (gir) bindings:

  keybinder_bind_full(keystring, callback, user_data, notify)

  Uses GDestroyNotify for notification of callback unregistration. This function is compatible with introspected bindings unlike keybinder_bind. Exported as keybinder_bind (bind) to bindings.

  keybinder_unbind_all(keystring)

  unregister all callbacks for the specified keystring. keybinder_unbind's signature cannot be supported by introspection bindings, and unbinding all matches the common use case (especially from bindings). Exported as keybinder_unbind (unbind) to bindings.

• Build a gobject-introspection .typelib file for libkeybinder

• Add a reference manual for libkeybinder using gtk-doc

• Branch the library into two simultaneously installable libraries

  • keybinder is like the old version, using Gtk+ 2, package name keybinder (pkgconfig) and Keybinder-0.0 (gir)
  • keybinder-3.0 is a new version, using Gtk+ 3, package name keybinder-3.0 (pkgconfig) and Keybinder-3.0 (gir)
  • keybinder-3.0 removes python-keybinder because pygtk will never be compatible with Gtk+ 3. Instead gir bindings have to be used.
  • These libraries will possibly have separate releases in the future but their first release is simultaneous, it is now.
  • keybinder-3.0 is distributed under X11 license, since the GPL parts have been removed (python-keybinder and ax_lua). The old branch keybinder is still GPL!

Released Sunday, 20 May 2010

• Add pkg-config file contributed by Jérôme Guelfucci
• Add Vala example and .vapi file to examples/
• Make lua-keybinder installable (this is experimental), using ax_lua.m4

Released Monday, 26 April 2010

• Release key grabs if binding fails partially.

Released Saturday, 24 April 2010

• Split into libkeybinder library and python-keybinder so that the same module can be used from Python or C. The Python bindings are now optional.
• Add examples/ directory with C, Python and Lua examples (including experimental Lua bindings).

• Workaround GTK+ Bug 616401 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616401
• Don't bind anything when mapping virtual modifiers fail (Kupfer bug :lp:`566945`)

Released Tuesday, 6 April 2010

• Depend on GTK+ 2.20
• Remove egg* code

Released Tuesday, 6 April 2010

• Replace some egg* code with GTK+ functionality.
• Take great pains to understand "Consumed Modifiers", as in:
  • When pressing Ctrl+Shift+1 to make Ctrl+!, Shift is a consumed modifier. So when receiving a binding specification like <Ctrl>exclam, we have to dig deep into XKB to find out which hardware modifiers are needed to create the bang (!) character. With this, it is now possible to bind any composed character.
• Keybindings now work in alternative layouts as well, you just have to press the same hardware keys as in the primary layout. For example a keybinding Ctrl+W will still be available on the same physical keys after switching to a secondary Greek layout.
• Remove keybinder.is_modifier from the module
• Use -Wall

Released 22 November 2009

• Remove bogus dependencies from configure checks (gnome-doc-utils and gnomeapplet)
• Enable AM_SILENT_RULES
• Fix language errors in documentation
