Full changelog:
> libxkbcommon 0.10.0 - 2020-01-18
> ===================
>
> - (security) Fix quadratic complexity in the XKB file parser. See commit
> message 7c42945e04a2107827a057245298dedc0475cc88 for details.
>
> - Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb to the default search path. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
> is not set, $HOME/.config/xkb is used. If $HOME is not set, the path is not
> added.
>
> The XDG path is looked up before the existing default search path
> $HOME/.xkb.
>
> Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>.
>
> - Add support for include statements in XKB rules files.
>
> This is a step towards making local XKB customizations more tenable and
> convenient, without modifying system files.
>
> You can now include other rules files like this:
>
> ! include %S/evdev
>
> Two directives are supported, %H to $HOME and %S for the system-installed
> rules directory (usually /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules).
>
> See commit message ca033a29d2ca910fd17b1ae287cb420205bdddc8 and
> doc/rules-format.txt in the xkbcommon source code for more information.

>
> - Downgrade "Symbol added to modifier map for multiple modifiers" log to a
> warning.
>
> This error message was too annoying to be shown by default. When working on
> keymaps, set `XKB_LOG_LEVEL=debug XKB_LOG_VERBOSITY=10` to see all possible
> messages.
>
> - Support building on Windows using the meson MSVC backend.

> Contributed by Adrian Perez de Castro <@igalia.com>.
>
> - Fix bug where the merge mode only applied to the first vmod in a
> `virtual_modifiers` statement. Given
>
> augment virtual_modifiers NumLock,Alt,LevelThree
>
> Previously it was incorrectly treated as
>
> augment virtual_modifiers NumLock;
> virtual_modifiers Alt;
> virtual_modifiers LevelThree;
>
> Now it is treated as
>
> augment virtual_modifiers NumLock;
> augment virtual_modifiers Alt;
> augment virtual_modifiers LevelThree;
>
> - Reject interpret modifier predicate with more than one value. Given
>
> interpret ISO_Level3_Shift+AnyOf(all,extraneous) { ... };
>
> Previously, extraneous (and further) was ignored. Now it's rejected.
>
> - Correctly handle capitalization of the ssharp keysym.
>
> - Speed up and improve the internal `xkeyboard-config` tool. This tool
> compiles all layout/variant combinations in the xkeyboard-config dataset
> and reports any issues it finds.
>
> Contributed by Peter Hutterer <@who-t.net>.
>
> - Speed up "atoms" (string interning). This code goes back at least to X11R1
> (released 1987).
