This release is mostly all about keysyms. Some additions to Vietnamese and Hangul but the big set of commits here is catching up with several years of Linux kernel releases. The kernel's evdev interface has semantic keycodes (e.g. KEY_ESC is what you'd expect). Beyond the normal range expected to change with different layouts there are many keycodes that should only ever do one thing. For example, KEY_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD should display the OSK regardless of layout). In the past, we've added these keysyms on a as-requested basis. We now have a reserved subrange in the already reserved range for XF86Foo keysyms. Within that range, keysyms map directly to their evdev counterparts, making future updates easier. The above example KEY_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD now has a XF86OnScreenKeyboard keysym. The header file follows a strict convention to make this range machine-readable, xkeyboard-config can make use of this to make those keysyms available by default. Note that almost all keys are outside the X keycode range so very little will change under X. Note that most keys exist on selected devices only so the practial use is quite limited. But those keysyms are available through normal XKB configuration so users can re-map existing keys where needed. Aside from those, a bit of misc cleanup work. Many thanks to all contributors.
