Version numbering

From release 0.5 onwards, the version numbering of this package will relate to releases of libxkbcommon as follows:

If the Python package version is major.minor[.patch] then it requires at least release major.minor.0 of libxkbcommon to build and run, and should work with any subsequent release. The patch version of the Python package is unrelated to the patch version of libxkbcommon.

In practice this means that you should always specify a maximum version when depending on xkbcommon.

• Most users should specify xkbcommon<1.1

• If you need to use xkb.Context(no_secure_getenv=True) then specify xkbcommon<1.6

• If you need to iterate over an xkb.ComposeTable instance then specify xkbcommon<1.7
