## Release 1.8.1
* Fix --enable-thread-safety-constructor configure option
## Release 1.8
* Add --enable-thread-safety-constructor configure option (default: enabled)
to call XInitThreads() from the library's constructor, thus enabling
thread-safety and locking by default. This may expose bugs in clients
which did not follow documented rules for calling libX11 functions.
* Fix Ethopian (am_ET.UTF-8) compose sequences.
* Remove 8 compose sequences that generated the input symbols.
* Add compose seuences for abovedot (\<period\> \<space\>),
diaeresis (\<quotedbl\> \<space\>), and ogonek (\<semicolon\> \<space\>).
## Release 1.7.5
* Avoids a segfault when an invalid name is used for opening a display.
## Release 1.7.4
* Fixes the "Unknown sequence number" error by allowing backward jumps
in the sequence number when widening it.
* Any changes to virtual modifiers get propagated properly.
* Greek case-conversion tables were updated to Unicode Data 14.0.
* Compose sequences for ☮ 🄯 ⇐ ⇑ ⇓ were added,
being the following: OY, ()), =<, =^, and =v.
* Hammer-and-sickle can be composed with question mark plus backslash.
## Release 1.7.3
* Fixes a hanging issue in _XReply() where the replying thread would
wait for an event when another thread was already waiting for one.
* Avoids a crash when the X connection gets broken while closing down.
## Release 1.7.2
This is a bug fix release, correcting a regression introduced by and
improving the checks from the fix for CVE-2021-31535.
## Release 1.7.1
This is a bug fix release, including a security fix for
CVE-2021-31535, nls and documentation corrections.
* Reject string longer than USHRT_MAX before sending them on the wire
* Fix out-of-bound access in KeySymToUcs4()
* nls: allow composing all breved letters also with a lowercase "u"
* nls: add 'C.utf8' as an alias for 'en_US.UTF-8'
* Nroff code fixes
* Comments fixes
## Release 1.7.0
Version 1.7.0 includes a new API, hence the change from the 1.6 series
to 1.7:
* XSetIOErrorExitHandler which provides a mechanism for applications
to recover from I/O error conditions instead of being forced to
exit. Thanks to Carlos Garnacho for this.
This release includes a bunch of bug fixes, some of which have been
pending for over three years:
* A bunch of nls cleanups to remove obsolete entries and clean up
formatting of the list. Thanks to Benno Schulenberg for these.
* Warning fixes and other cleanups across a huge swath of the
library. Thanks to Alan Coopersmith for these.
* Memory allocation bugs, including leaks and use after free in the
locale code. Thanks to Krzesimir Nowak, Jacek Caban and Vittorio
Zecca for these.
* Thread safety fixes in the locale code. Thanks to Jacek Caban for
these.
* poll_for_response race condition fix. Thanks to Frediano Ziglio for
the bulk of this effort, and to Peter Hutterer for careful review
and improvements.
Version 1.7.0 includes a couple of new locales:
* ia and ie locales. Thanks to Carmina16 for these.
There are also numerous compose entries added, including:
* |^ or ^| for ↑, |v or v| for ↓, ~~ for ≈. Thanks to Antti
Savolainen for this.
* Allowing use of 'v' for caron, in addition to 'c', so things like
vC for Č, vc for č. Thanks to Benno Schulenberg for this.
* Compose sequences LT, lt for '<', and GT, gt for '>' for keyboards
where those are difficult to access. Thanks to Jonathan Belsewir
for this.
