+- Update to release 1.7
+  * Added early detection of invalid encodings and BOM for
+    keymaps, rules & Compose. Also added a hint that the expected
+    encoding must be UTF-8 compatible.
+  * Updated keysyms using latest xorgproto
+    (cd33097fc779f280925c6d6bbfbd5150f93ca5bc): For the sake of
+    compatibility, this reintroduces some deleted keysyms and
+    postpones the effective deprecation of others that had landed
+    in xkbcommon 1.6.0.
+  * Reverted removal of some XKB_KEYs and fixed inconsistencies in names.
+    Details see upstream changelog.
+  * ``xkbcli compile-compose``: added new CLI utility to test
+    Compose files.
+  * ``xkbcli interactive-evdev``: added a ``--verbose`` option.
+  * ``xkbcli interactive-x11``: added support for Compose.
+  * ``xkbcli interactive-wayland``: added support for Compose.
