Hi,

libxkbcommon 0.3.2 is released. This is primarily a bug-fix release, and
everyone is recommended to update.

Note for builders and distributors:
----------------------------------

The build dependencies of libxkbcommon have reduced over several
releases. Currently, they are:

- bison OR a recent byacc
  A pre-generated file is included in the tarball if one is not
  available.
- xkeyboard-config
  For finding the XKB data root path (the path can be passed manually).

When building from git, you also need:
- xorg-util-macros >= 1.16

There are no runtime dependencies, though xkeyboard-config or another
XKB dataset is needed for using keymaps.

Note for users:
--------------

Due to a bug report[1], there now exists a slightly unfortunate difference
between the two functions xkb_state_key_get_one_sym(), and
xkb_state_key_get_syms() with a return value of 1 (indicating one keysym
is returned). The former now performs a "capitalization transformation"
on the keysym[2], while the latter does not.

Therefore, if your application does not utilize the multiple-keysyms
support in libxkbcommon, consider using xkb_state_key_get_one_sym()
rather than xkb_state_key_get_syms().

Hopefully, we can remove such implicit behavior from all of
xkeyboard-config's keymaps in the future, thus making such subtleties
irrelevant.

Other changes:

- Added XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMicMute keysym, to match xproto 7.0.24.

- Log messages from the library now look like "xkbcommon: ERROR" by
  default, instead of xkbcomp-like "Error:   ".
