https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/IBus_1.5.21 == Summary == IBus 1.5.21 will extend the current compose typing. # IBus will extend the compose key sequences less than 255 characters. # IBus will extend the compose outputs more equal than one characters. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Fujiwara| Takao Fujiwara]] * Email: fujiwara [at] redhat [dot] com == Detailed Description == The current IBus accepts the compose key sequences less than 7 characters due to the internal fixed buffer size, E.g. Multi_key-O-R are three characters and the sequence can output "®" but Multi_key-Multi_key-o-i-i-i-n-t are eight characters and the sequence is not enabled in IBus. This release will extend this limitation to 255 characters. The current IBus outputs one compose character only and size is limited in 16bits. E.g. "®" is one character and it can be output and "🗼" is one character but the size is extended the upper limit of 16bits and the output is not enabled in IBus. This release will delete the limitation of the character lengths and the size will be extended to 32bits. == Benefit to Fedora == The users won't have to mind those compose limitations above and X11 compose does not have the limitations. == Scope == * Proposal owners: * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8503 #8503] * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == How To Test == # Create `$HOME/.config/ibus/Compose` with the following context [1] # Restart ibus-daemon # Launch gedit and type Multi_key-t-o-w-e-r "🗼" is output. [1]: <pre> <Multi_key> <t> <o> <w> <e> <r> : "🗼" </pre> == User Experience == Users can reuse the user compose file of X11 to IBus. The X11 system compose file has been loaded by the desktop locale since the previous IBus version. == Dependencies == This change effects all IBus engines but rebuilds are not needed. == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Drop the feature in Fedora 31 and postpone it to Fedora 32 * Contingency deadline: Beta freeze * Blocks release? No * Blocks product? No == Documentation == TBD -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
