|
General
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+ A strange character inversion problem on some input methods has been
|
||
|
|
fixed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Input methods
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added "simple" input method which provides dead/multi key composing
|
||
|
|
for latin languages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
User Interface
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added input method selection menu in the context menu of text
|
||
|
|
widgets
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+ default IM configuration feature of qtconfig has been disabled in BC
|
||
|
|
mode. This is a political change to avoid the confusion about input
|
||
|
|
method configuration in accordance with GTK+ environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See following discussion for further information.

|
|
http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/immodule-qt/2004-August/000416.html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added new environment variables QT_IM_SWITCHER and QT_IM_MODULE to
|
||
|
|
set user's favorite input method as default. See README.immodule for
|
||
|
|
examples.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Build & Install
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+ configure options have been changed for internal reasons. See 'How
|
||
|
|
to install' section of README.immodule
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- This version of immodule retquires corresponding version of each
|
||
|
|
input method plugins (i.e. update your additional input method
|
||
|
|
plugins)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Plugin directory has been changed from $QTDIR/plugins/input/ to
|
||
|
|
$QTDIR/plugins/inputmethods/. Delete old directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Some codes have been changed to allow compiling against Qt 3.2.x or
|
||
|
|
earlier.

---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Almost description of QInputContext and QInputContextPlugin has been
|
||
|
|
filled. Feel free to ask obscure things at our mailinglist.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
New features
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Pluggable input method switcher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now we can write input method switcher as an ordinary input method
|
||
|
|
plugin. The two plugins 'imsw-multi' and 'imsw-none' are provided as
|
||
|
|
default. But the architecture needs more discussion about whether
|
||
|
|
the design is right or not. Join the discussion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Pluggable popup menu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any input method can provide its own popup menu. See
|
||
|
|
http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/immodule-qt/2004-August/000266.html
|
||
|
|
for further information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- QInputContext proxying
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some methods of QInputContext have been changed to enable
|
||
|
|
QInputContext proxying. This feature is retquired to implement
|
||
|
|
pluggable input method switcher.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
General
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+ QInputContext has been source compatible with Qt4 version. Basic
|
||
|
|
input method plugin can be source compatible without #ifdef. Only
|
||
|
|
pluggable popup menu retquires #ifdef'ed different code. In addition,
|
||
|
|
be careful about use of classes that is deprecated in Qt4.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Our two development tree for Qt3 'Binary Compatible' and 'ALL' have
|
||
|
|
been merged into this unified source tree. The source tree is called
|
||
|
|
'Unified' patch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 'dead keys' for latin languages have been added into Qt::Key
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added plugins/src/inputmethods directory to build input method
|
||
|
|
plugins within the Qt source tree. The directory name 'inputmethods'
|
||
|
|
is intended to be compatible with Qt/Embedded. Install directory
|
||
|
|
name is still kept as 'input' for backward compatibility
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Changed XIM input method to a plugin instead of directly link into
|
||
|
|
libqt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Plugin directory has been changed from $QTDIR/plugins/input/ to
|
||
|
|
$QTDIR/plugins/inputmethods/. Replace install directory with new
|
||
|
|
one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Fixed some bugs in previous qt-x11-immodule-bc-qt3.3.2-20040623. See
|
||
|
|
following log for more detail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* src/kernel/qwidget_x11.cpp
|
||
|
|
- (destroyInputContext): Replace the code with original Simplified
|
||
|
|
API patch. See the comment to recognize the original intention
|
||
|
|
- (focusInputContext): Fix a condition to call qic->setFocus() as
|
||
|
|
originally written. See added comment to recognize the original
|
||
|
|
intention
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- QLocale dependency has been removed to be compiled on Qt 3.2.x or
|
||
|
|
earlier
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Many internal improvements and cleanups

+ QInputContext
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* QInputContext()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Added 'parent' arg to be compatible with Qt4. Since the arg
|
||
|
|
defaults to 0, no modification of plugins are retquired.

|
||
|
|
|

Return type of these two methods have been changed from QCString
|
||
|
|
which is deprecated in Qt4 to QString to make plugins source
|
||
|
|
compatible with Qt4.
|
||

- QInputContext proxying
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QInputContext have been changed as follows to enable QInputContext
|
||
|
|
proxying.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Use signal to deliver QIMEvent instead of explicit
|
||
|
|
postEvent(). This enables QIMEvent proxying and better platform
|
||
|
|
abstraction. Corresponding slot is created as
|
||
|
|
QApplication::imEventReceived().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Move some methods of QInputContext to public from protected or
|
||
|
|
private. This enables that proxy-IM can access slave methods.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Make some methods of QInputContext virtual. This enables
|
||
|
|
overriding the methods as proxy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Rename QInputContext::name() to identifierName() to avoid
|
||
|
|
conflicting with QObject::name()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- QInputContext
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* language()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New method to indicate current language
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* menus()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New method for the pluggable popup menu feature
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* addMenusTo()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New method for text widget developer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* deletionRequested()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New signal to request deletion of this instance. This is added for
|
||
|
|
fatal error handling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* identifierName()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This replaces name() of previous API to avoid conflicting with
|
||
|
|
QObject::name(), and to distinguish the role from displayName()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* filterEvent()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Turn the argument into const. See
