   An update that has one recommended fix and contains one
   feature can now be installed.

Description:


   This update for libxkbcommon fixes the following issues:

   - Update to release 1.3.0 (jsc#SLE-24272)

     * `xkbcli list` was changed to output YAML instead of a custom format.
     * Fix segmentation fault in case-insensitive `xkb_keysym_from_name` for
       certain values like the empty string.

   - Update to release 1.2.1 [boo#1184688]

     * Fix `xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device()` failing when the keymap
       contains key types with missing level names, like the
       one used by the `numpad:mac` option in xkeyboard-config. (Regressed in
        1.2.0.)

   - Update to release 1.2.0

     * `xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device()` is much faster. It now performs
       only 2 roundtrips to the X server, instead of dozens (in first-time
       calls).
     * Case-sensitive `xkb_keysym_from_name()` is much faster.
     * Keysym names of the form `0x12AB` and `U12AB` are parsed more strictly.
     * Compose files now have a size limit (65535 internal nodes).
     * Compose table loading (`xkb_compose_table_new_from_locale()` and
       similar) is much faster.

   - Update to release 1.1.0

     * Update keysym definitions to latest xorgproto. In particular, this
       adds many special keysyms corresponding to Linux evdev keycodes.
     * New XKB_KEY_* definitions.

   - Update to release 1.0.3

     * Fix (hopefully) a segfault in xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() in some
       unclear situation (bug introduced in 1.0.2).
     * Fix keymaps created with xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() do not have
       level names (bug introduced in 0.8.0).

   - Update to release 1.0.2

     * Fix a bug where a keysym that cannot be resolved in a keymap gets
       compiled to a garbage keysym. Now it is set to XKB_KEY_NoSymbol
       instead.
     * Improve the speed of xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() on repeated
       calls in the same xkb_context().

   - Update to release 1.0.1

     * Make the table output of `xkbcli how-to-type` aligned.

   - Update to release 1.0.0

     * Now it is possible to add custom layouts and options at the system
       (/etc) and user (~/.config) level, at least when libxkbcommon is in
       use.
     * libxkbregistry is a C library that lists available XKB models, layouts
       and variants for a given ruleset. This is a separate library (.so/.pc
       files) and aimed at tools that provide a listing of available keyboard
       layouts to the user.
     * Add an `xkbcli` command-line utility.

   - Update to release 0.10.0

     * Fix quadratic complexity in the XKB file parser.
     * Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb to the default search path. If
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, $HOME/.config/xkb is used. If $HOME is
       not set, the path is not added. The XDG path is looked up before the
       existing default search path $HOME/.xkb.
     * Add support for include statements in XKB rules files.
     * Fix bug where the merge mode only applied to the first vmod in a
       "virtual_modifiers" statement.
     * Reject interpret modifier predicate with more than one value.
     * Correctly handle capitalization of the ssharp keysym.

   - Update to release 0.9.1

     * Fix context creation failing when run in privileged processes as
       defined by `secure_getenv(3)`, e.g. GDM.

   - Update to release 0.9.0

     * Move ~/.xkb to before XKB_CONFIG_ROOT. This enables the user to have
       full control of the keymap definitions, instead of
       only augmenting them.

   - Update to new upstream release 0.8.3

     * New APIs: XKB_KEY_XF86MonBrightnessCycle,
       XKB_KEY_XF86RotationLockToggle.
