libxkbcommon [1.13.2] – 2026-05-30
==================================

# API

## New

- Updated keysyms from latest [xorgproto] \(commit: \ 
`fcb7e9a1a0b593a44740d83b0babddd331fea830`):

  - Added:
    - `XKB_KEY_dead_apostrophe` ([xorgproto-110])
    - `XKB_KEY_SSHARP` ([xorgproto-110])
    - `XKB_KEY_leftsingleanglequotemark` ([xorgproto-110])
    - `XKB_KEY_rightsingleanglequotemark` ([xorgproto-110])
    - `XKB_KEY_XF86ElectronicPrivacyScreenOn` ([xorgproto-109])
    - `XKB_KEY_XF86ElectronicPrivacyScreenOff` ([xorgproto-109])
    - `XKB_KEY_XF86ActionOnSelection` ([xorgproto-112])
    - `XKB_KEY_XF86ContextualInsert` ([xorgproto-112])
    - `XKB_KEY_XF86ContextualQuery` ([xorgproto-112])

  - Changed:
    - `ISO_Group_Shift` is now the canonical name of the corresponding keysym.
      Previously it was `Mode_switch`, which refers to a core X group
      mechanism obsoleted by XKB.

  [xorgproto-112]: \

- Added keysyms UTF translations for numeric phone keys `XF86Numeric[0-9]`.

## Fixes

- Fixed include statement of default section, possibly broken in some custom \ 
configurations.

# Tools

## New

- Added new tool `xkbcli info` to print information about libxkbcommon configuration,
  for debugging purposes.
