[openi18n-im:01452] Re: key release issue with iiimxcf

Hi all,

I've discussed Federic how compatibility can be maintained.  So
here are my ideas how the implementation can be enhanced to be
compatible with previous versions.


- Add Capability attribute to IMATTRIBUTE.

  This attribute will be used to negotiate supported
  capabilities, including the support of key release event,
  between clients and the server.


- Revert KEYEVENT data type to (INT32 * 4).

  Highest bit of key modifier will determine key release event.
  if (0 == (0x80000000 & key_modifier)), then the event is a key
  press event.
  if (0 != (0x80000000 & key_modifier)), then the event is a key
  release event.
  The client uses the bit only when the server declares that the
  capability is supported.


- Make libiiimp.so compatible with previous version.

  Affected APIs:
    iiimp_inputmethod_descriptor_new()
    iiimp_inputmethod_descriptor_create()

  New APIs:
    iiimp_inputmethod_descriptor2_new()
    iiimp_inputmethod_descriptor2_create()


Any comments are appreciated.  I'll start implementing the
changes in a few days.

Regards,
