LIBXKBCOMMON 1.13.2 LANDS IN TESTING, PHOTO LIBRARY BUMPED TO 2.5.34

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux

Keyboard input stack gets a refresh across both architectures while camera hardware support advances to the latest upstream release.

libxkbcommon 1.13.2 hit extra-testing-x86_64 [1], with the 32-bit variant following into multilib-testing [2]. This is the update you've been waiting for if you're running a testing branch and dealing with input latency or multi-layout keyboard issues. On the library front, libgphoto2 jumped to 2.5.34-1 in extra-x86_64 [3], bringing camera hardware support current with upstream. Meanwhile, the buildbtw tooling got a cleanup: the repo updater was installing color_eyre twice, now fixed [4] [5]. Minor versioning updates landed for zynaddsubfx [6] and python-sphinx-copybutton [7], both routine maintenance.
